General Albert ;. Myer, Discussing
That Service In 1871. Seemed
to Have Some Intuition Of
Coming Of "Wlreiess.w

One of the most thrilling events
connected with Sherman's struggle for
Atlanta In 1854 occurred at Allatoona.
Ca. when the small Federal garrison
there was doomed apparently to fall
into the hands of a division of the
Confederate army. sent against It by
Hood. But at the last moment, by
means of the system Of flag signals
which he had invented before the war.
when he was an assistant surgeon In
the regular army. Brigadier-G General
Albert J. Myer. then in command Of
the signal service corps of the Union
armies, was able to summon from
General Sherman the assistance that
saved the garrison. II was during
this Interchange of signals that Sher-
man sent the celebrated message that
became the theme of one of the great
gospel hymns of the world: Hold the
fort: for l am coming"
The year after the civil war was
over General Myer was made chief
signal officer of the regular army.
Four years after, when congress had
authorized the secretary of war to
provide for the observation and pre-
diction Of storms-the official begin
ming of the Federal weather bureau
General Myer was placed in charge Of
this work. and so became the coun-
try's first official weather prophet.
A day or two after the meeting Of
congress In December, 1871, met
General Myer by appointment in his
office In Washington. and told him
that had been sent by some citizens
of New Haven, Conn. to say to him
that II 1t would be possible for him
to establish a weather bureau station
In New Haven. a convenient and other
wise suitable home for the bureau
would be furnished rent free by the
owner Of one of the city's largest
buildings.
III had the money would like to
establish weather bureau in every
considerable city on the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts" replied the general. AT

go az far as can in the establish

Lakes. / want a sufficient number Of
stations from Duluth. on Lake Supe-
rior. to Clayton. on Lake Ontario"
/ asked General Myer what special
reason there was for thus seeming to
favor the lakes.
"A special reason?" he replied with
energy. while his eyes-so full of fire
and yet so self-contained that they
withdrew all of ones attention from
his other striking facial characters
tics-looked intently at me. "The
very best Of all reasons. II was while
