tuted by Weather Bureau.

Washington, d. c., June 26.-The
United States Weather Bureau plans
to take wind" out of the weather
forecasts.
That there may be community of
interest between the forecasters of
weather on sea and those on land, the
weather bureau men plan to substi-
tute the words "breezes" and "gales'
for the present well known winds"
The new scale has a variety of
breezcs and gales. OF gales there are
fresh ones, when the air moves from
"a to 40 miles an hour; strong ones,
when it moves from 40 to 49, whole
gales, from Sc to 65, and storms when
65 to 10 miles. Whenever the rs mile
an hour mark is reached the gale Or
storm becomes a hurricane.

The possibility of an actual outbreak
of hostilities between Greek and Tur-
key is being considered In connection

the ships. In the event of actual war
and a proper declaration by either
party or both, the sale could not be
contaminated or the ships delivered

BATTLESHIPS WILL
Bring SIl,75O,O00
GREECE WILL HAVE TO PAY HIGH
FOR THE MISSISSIPPI AND
THE IDAHO.

Washington, June 26.-Navy Off
cials are busy preparing to turn OYER
the battleships Idaho and Mississippi
to the Greek government. Final &C.
ton on the naval appropriation bill,
which includes authority for the sale
of the ships. will be taken in a day or
two, and as soon as the president has
signed the measure the department
will be ready to order the transfer.
1t is left to the president and the
secretary of the navy to name the
sale price, the intention being to fix
this at the actual cost of construction
and equipment. This involves a rath-
er complex calculation, but it is be-
lieved that s11,75O,OOO will be about
the figure.
With the vessels will go most of the
supplies now aboard and full store of
coal to carry them to their destina-
ton. There was some idea at one
time of taking out the fire control or
system of electric communication by
which the commanding officer Of the
ship is enabled to point and fire every
gun from the bridge or coming tower.
This is peculiarly American devel-
opment. but the system as installed
On the Idaho and Mississippi is fairly
well known in other navies and has
been much improved upon.
Plan of Transfer.
According to the tentative plan Of
transfer, the Idaho, which is now at
Gibraltar, will be sent northward to
Gravesend, England, where she will be
met by the battleship Alabama, now
in reserve at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard, which will take off her person
mel, including the Annapolis midship-
men now on their summer cruise.
