By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of ffAt Good Old SfWash.

-HE weather observer is an i'm
prOvement on the old weather
l. prophet who used to look at a
goose bone IN December and tell what
sort of weather might be expected in
March. The old style prophet used his
rheumatism, the zodiac and an old sec
ond-hand telescope in mapping out the
years weather and usually relied upon
the shortness of his clientele's memory to
escape the consequence of his mistakes.
The weather observer is a prophet, too,
but he Is on a scientific and business
basis He is a man who Is paid by the
government to feel the pulse of the
atmosphere each morning, take a look
at the clouds on the Atlantic coast by
telegraph, sniff the muttering 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 a telescope and he isn't
