TINE WEArNER OBSERVER.
lBy George Fitch.l

The weather observer IS an lm-
 provement on the old weather prophet who used to look at a
 goosetbehe- dns Dec ernbers and toll
 what sort of.weathef might be exp' pected in March. The old style prophet used his rheumatism, the zodiac and an old secondhand telescope in mapping out; the years weather and usually relied
 upon the shortness of his clien-
 tele's memory to escape the con-
 sequences of his mistakes.
 The weather observer is a !prpphet, too, but he is on a scien- ,tific and business basis. He is a man who is paid by the govern ment to feel the pulse of the at mosphere each morning, take a look at the clouds on the Atlantic coast by telegraph, sniff the nut tering storms of the Rockies by wireless and then chart out the meteorological doings of the day.
 The weather observer doesn't wear long hair and telescope and he isn't interested in next summers temperature. He works from day to day. He is trained sleuth whose duty it is to discov- CT the wandering blizzard and track it with relentless care across the country, warning the regions which are soon to be infested. He dogs the rambling area of low pressure and puts storm flags ahead of it so that when it arriv- es in happy valley and prepares to do business, it finds to it's dis gust that the strawberry beds have been taken in and woolen have been tied around the cucumber vines. He maps out the probable course of the high pressure area and sends the glad tidings ahead in order that the summer picnic and the Chautau- qua may get in their deadly work. He does business with tele- graph sounder in one hand and a map of the country in the other, and so long as a storm stays on the track and does not lose time on heavy upgrade or switch off into Oklahoma at a junction point, he can prophecy tomor- rows temperature within two de- grees.
 People make fun of the weather observer because he makes mis- takes. and jeering citizens always carry their umbrellas when he puts out the fair weather flag. But his batting average is better than Ty Cobb's, and since he has taken up his work, the life of the market gardener has become less barren and soddrn with care.

1.-THE GRANARY OF
NORTH AMERICA"
GOVERNOR SULZER SAYS THAT
OF WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties of friendship exist
ing between the United States and
Canada were dwelt upon in addresses
by Premier Robert l.. Borden, of Can
ada, and Governor Sulzer, at the an
nual dinner of the University Club of
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden, have common
heritage in the language, the litera-
ture, the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to
them from the men of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles Of
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow of each nation the lau-
rel of one hundred years of peace. 1t
matters not so much as to the form
of the outward celebration, but let US
hope that its full significance may
sink deep into the hearts of both ma
tons, and that, whether north or south
of the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reverent heads, Offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
of peace, and earnest prayers that in
the century to come, mutual confidence,
goodwill and respect may truly ami
| mate the ideals and aspirations of both
nations"
Referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the St.
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
Great Canadian Northwest is designed
to become, before long, the granary of
North America"
MANY of our best citizens, regret
to say" said the governor, ARE leav-
ing the States of the west and going
into the Canadian northwest, because
of the fertility of its soil, the lib
erality of the Canadian government
and the ability of those people to bet.
ter their conditions here.
1--WE should extend to them help
ing hand in their onward march OF
progress. Instead of closing our doors
by tariff barriers against these coun'
tries and their products, in my opinion
we should open them wider and do
everything in our power to facilitate
closer commercial relations. We want
their products and they want our prod
ucts, and all restrictions to prevent a
fairer and freer exchange of goods,
wares and merchandise should, in SC
far as possible, be eliminated" -Ad

lUlCH'S STORMY BOUT
Champion Has Hard Time With
Canadian Wrestler.
Pietro, One of the Roughest Men Seen
In Game at Montreal, Continual
ly Complained to Referee
Bout Ends In Row.

French Canadians are fond of sports
and for many years have shown a
keen interest in wrestling. When
Gotch flashed upon the scene as a
wrestler of world fame the Canadians
were organizing a mat tournament.
Grapplers from every country of Eu.
rope entered this tourney. Gotch en-
tered also and taught the Canadians
that he was the superior in the sci
ence of wrestling of the horde of for
eign grapplers invading American
shores for fame and money.
Gotch's last match in this tourna,
ment was with giant named Pietro
1t technically gave the championship
to Gotch, but proved to be one of the
strangest encounters of the world
champions career. 1t was the boast
of Pietro that he had not lost match
for many years at Greco-Roman wrest'
ling. This record was easily explain.

out being pinned, for he was debating
and complaining to the referee every
few minutes.
Pietro was known as one of the
toughest wrestlers ever seen in Mon.
treal. He had shown no mercy to his
weaker opponents. He had given an
opponent a terrible mauling week
before Gotch appeared to measure
strength with him. ".. ..
When the referee called time, Pietro
rushed Gotch into the ropes and tried
for leg grip, but Gotch blocked him
Gotch then rushed his opponent to
the ropes, secured leg hold and tried
to drag him back, but Pietro grabbed
the ropes and refused to bulge. The
referee finally ordered Gotch to re
linquish his hold.
Gotch retaliated with rough work
Pietro stopped wrestling to tell the
referee that Gotch Fad pulled his mus
tache. The referee had difficulty con
vincing him that he was supposed to
be in a wrestling match, not col
lege debate.
Although Pietro had started the
rough work he complained repeatedly
that Gotch was hurting him. He
turned his upper lip back to show the
referee where Gotch had showed his
elbow against his mouth. Pietro evi

Gotch, giving him his fist in the clinch-
es. There was no fall in the first ten
minute bout.
Pietro redoubled his protests in the
second bout. He would leave the mat
and be forced back by his friends. He
would wrestle few minutes and quit.
When he would quit he would double
up his fist and threaten to give Gotch
blow in the ribs. The second bout
was heightened to half an hour by
these Interruptions. Gotch feared Pie
tro would jump from the ring and
leave the building.
Finally Gotch came to the conclu-
sion that he should delegate himself
a committee to aid the referee in
preserving order and keeping things
moving. When Pietro began to pro-
test in the third bout, Gotch pulled
him away and made him wrestle. Pie
tro then quit and started to walk
away. Gotch caught him, pulled him
back, and rushed him into the ropes.
The cords snapped and the Greco-Ro-
man star fell to the floor on his back.
This time he did not protest, but came
back and began roughing it madly, hit
ting Gotch in the clinches. Breaking
away he swung heavily on Gotch's
jaw. Instead of going down for the
count Gotch came back at his man to
punish him.
Sub-Chief Lamouche stepped in and
ordered the battle stopped. He tried
to explain why he had stopped the
match, but was yelled down. The po-
lice ordered Gotch out of the ring.
Gotch stepped to the footlights to ad.
dress the crowd, but the police stopped
him. Lamouche ordered Gotch of
the stage and followed him to his
dressing room. That was Gotch's
last match in Montreal.
