WEATHER FORECASTS.
Method of Tracing the Direction and
Speed of Storms.

Most of the severe storms do not
originate In the United States. They
come to us from the Philippines, ia
pan, Siberia, Alaska, Canada or the
gulf of Mexico Our weather bureau
gets cable, telegraphic or wireless no
tice of foreign storm Station after
station of the weather bureau and ves-
sci after vessel in the path of the
storm report it's arrival, so that the
general direction and the speed with
which it travels can be very nearly de-
termined. Some storms can be fore
told as much as ten days in advance OF
their arrival at given point
When a storm from Siberia drifts
eastward around the north pole and
reappears In Alaska the speed with
which 1t has covered that section of its
course is made the basis of the calcu-
lation Of the time when 1t should ap
pear In Washington and Oregon, when
1t should get to the great lakes and
finally to the Atlantic coast, and each
section Is warned in advance Unex-
pected conditions may delay the storms
or divert them from the course. Tabs
are kept on the cold waves in much
the same manner The weather reports
from Canada Iceland, Europe. Russia
end Siberia are studied and predictions
made as to when the cold waves from
these countries will reach the United
States.
To predict floods information is re-
corded as to the amount of rainfall at
headwaters of streams. AS the rain
reaches the main channel the height of
the water is recorded from gaugings.
Records show what height Of twenty
feet at Dubuque, Ia, will produce at
Davenport. eighty miles down the Mis-
sissippi. This plan is followed on all
the large rivers, and at each station
full allowance is made for the effects
of water from tributaries and from ad-
ditional and local rainfall.-Leslies.

Free Happy Go Lucky Couple.
In his autobiograph In McClure's
Magazine, S. S. Mcclure pays tribute
to the character Of Mrs. Robert Louis
Stevenson. He says:
"The more | saw of the Stevensons
the more became convinced that Mrs.
Stevenson was the unique woman In
the world to be Steyenson's wife. = =
Mrs. Stevenson had many of the
fine qualities that we usually attribute
to men rather than to women; fair
mindedness, large judgment, robust
inconsequential philosophy of life,
without which she could not have
borne, much less shared with relish

tied life, his vagaries, his gypsy pas.

their funds running short; they couldn't

Strathcona's Romantic Marriage.
The marriage Of Lord Strathcona was
a romance. He met the lady when he
was twenty-nine and living on the
coast Of Labrador. She was widow
and had little son. There was no
priest or church within 1000 miles and
the marriage was simple contract
without ceremony. 1t was for this
reason that when the high commission
er became a peer In 1897 remarriage
was held to be necessary and 1t was
solemnized with the full ritual of the
Church of England. The Labrador
marriage was, however, ratified by
special act Of parltament-London Tat

1t Calls For Fed
eral Action.

In October, 1902, as a result of
the coal operators to treat with the
striking miners, there existed in
the great anthracite coal fields of
Pennsylvania a situation that
Theodore Roosevelt, then Presi-
dent, believed to call for Federal
intervention. 1t was Roosevelt's
attitude at that time that brought
2roer to the mines and fair treat
ment for the workers.
The following is what Roosevelt
had to say about the situation then
existing. We quote from his "Pos
sible Autobiography"
The method of ection upon
which | had determined in the last
re- ort was to get the Governor of
Pennsylvania to ask me to keep
order. Then l would put in the
army under the command of some
first-rate General. / would in
struct this General to keep abso-
lutte order, taking any steps what
ever that were necessary to prevent
interference by the strikers Or their
Sympathizers with men who wanted
to work.
q would also instruct him to
disposses the operators and run the
mines as a receiver until such time
as the commission might make its
report and until l. as President,
might issue further orders in view
of this report.

at that time justified Federal &C

1t is rather expensive to use an egg
every morning to settle your coffee. as
a great many do, and it is not clear and
free from grounds if you boil it. Put
your coffee in the coffeepot, pour boil

hot, but not boil If you have your

flavor and it will be ready in about ten
minutes. If ground coarse allow about
twenty minutes.
