HOW THEY DO 1T.

Many people have an idea that
there is something mysterious and oc-
cult about the work of the Weather
Bureau in forecasting the coming
of storms, frosts and floods. Not a
few think that the observers must
necessarily get their data by reading
the planets, the stars, and the moon
AS a matter. Of fact, the forecaster OF
the bureau foretells the coming dis
turbances in a businesslike way,very
similar to that in which man who
has ordered shipment of goods
would estimate the date OF its arrival.
Suppose a business man has order
ed a carload of pineapples from the
Hawaiian Islands He would know
the average time it would take the
steamer to make the trip to the Pa
cific port, the average time for I'M
loa ling and loading into refrigerator
cars. and the average number OF
days to be allowed these cars for
their trip across the continent to
New York. His estimate, however,
would be subject to error, because
the steamship might be delayed by
fog or the cars might meet with an
accident
Storms, like pineapples, as a rule
do not originate in the U. S. They
come to us, from the Philippines, ia
pan, Siberia, Alaska, or the Gulf OF
Mexico. The Weather Bureau gets
cable, Geographic, or wireless notice
of a foreign storm. Station after sta
ton, or vessel after vessel reports
the storms arrival in its neighbor-
hood, so that the general direction
and rate of progress can be deter
mined very early. In fact, the arri-
va of some storms can be foretold
10 days in advance.
The forecasters watch for the re-
eion of low barometer which is the
Storm center around which the winds
blow This whirl or eddy moves bodi
ly forward with the general eastward
drift of about $50 miles day in our
ATTITUDES The forecaster determines
RE direction of movement of the
storm and it's velocity.
When weather disturbances are re-
parted, the forecasters know from ex-
perience about how long it takes
Them to reach our Pacific coast, and
then how long after they will reach
the Atlantic coast For example, if
i storm coming from Siberia drifts
eastward around the North Pole and
reappears in Alaska, it should appear
in Washington and Oregon in about
two days; should get to the Great
Lakes in six days and to the Atlantic
coast in seven or eight.

We presume that shooting is very I'M
certain.
Another man said he hoped to go
to the devil if he did not pay within
three days. Haven't seen him since;
suppose that he has gone, but trust
he did not hope in vain. Quite a
lumber said they would see us tomor-
row. They must have been striker
blind, or tomorrow has not come
One man told us six months ago that
ne would pay as soon as he got the
money. The man would not lie, OF
course he has not got a cent since.

DIVIDENDS OF MINES.

Despite the fact that fewer
American mining companies declared
dividends during the past month as
compared with January a year ago,
the disbursements made, according
to reports made to Mining and Engi-
neering World, were gratifying to hold
ers of stock of American mines and
works. With so companies contri-
buting there was disbursed $40 ,302,-
975. Had it not been for the strike
in Michigan copper country, disburse-
ments for the month would have
reached record proportions for any
January in the history of the indus
try.
The copper properties, 10 in num-
Der, paid to shareholders $5,448, 015,
which, with dividends paid previously
by these companies, brings their to-
tai since incorporation to $146, 493, 422
On their combined issued capital of
$134, $3.50, 250 this is a return equiva-

Thirty-nine companies, operating
properties of the MISUNDERSTANDING

totaling $4,050,O13. Since incorpora

Naval Plan Deadlocked.

TOkIOt April 2.--After planning a year of the most strenuous warship building in Japan's history, the gov ernment found i-self with a hopeless deadlock on it's hands over the naval appropriation bill. The bill, as orig inally introduced, provided for a $95,- OOO,OOO allowance. The lower house of parliament cut this to S0,000,000. The upper house reduced it to $45,- OO0,O0O Then the bill went to con- ference. To-day it was announced that the conferees could not agree. Consequently, instead of $95, 100000, the government gets nothing.

SAVING THE LITTLE THINGS.

Reducing operating expenses by eliminating waste is only a rational procedures; and yet the cultivation Of that carefuness of habit that leads to an unconscious conservation ot supplies is all too little engaged in, in the affairs of the individual, while evidence on every side points to an indifference in the matter of small economies as applied to others ex- penses that is painfully suggestive of a natural human tendency to care lessness and extravaganza. Teachers complain of the spirit of prodigality of youth in school business finds it's workers almost equally needless as to the cost of waste.
 The estimate of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad that the elimination of waste in the use of paper. pens, pen cils and so forth, on the part of heads of departments, clerks, agents and other employees in the 2,000 offices of the system could easily result Ill d saving of $30,Uo0 in the course of a year is probably not overestimated. The average saving per office asked for is only $15, and yet. in the inn mensity of the business. the sum to- tai would be well worth striving for. The lesser proportionate saving pos, sible through carefulness in the smaller business concerns of any com munity would be equally worth while, rendering a percentage of reduced expense that would correspond to in creased earning. under the old rule that a penny saved is penny earn ed.--Ex.

Osteopathy's Basic Principle.

Health is not mystery. It is ! the sum of all the organs of life op erating naturally. Disease is not a mystery It is the result of one or
 more organs acting improperly. The cure for disease, then, is plain; Set ! the tissues alright; make the indi- vidual cells act alright; then the or gans will act alright.
 To operate naturally all parts of
 the machine must be correctly plac-
 ed and we'll adjusted with regard to the rest of the organism. Get d clear-cut conception of this truism which is the basic principle of os- teopathic philosophy, the key to in terpret osteopathic practice. It is so simple it is usually overlooked and forgotten.
 Andrew Taylor Still, M. D., phy sician and surgeon of the old school, the founder of osteopathy, puts it ] somewhat after this fashion:
 If every structure in the body is in it's normal place and condition that is to say, properly adjusted with regard to all related structures he body may be counted upon to oper- ate properly, because it is, first of all, a mechanical contrivance, a ma chine: and any machine that is per fectly made. complete in all it's parts and eXquisitely adiusted-as is the human body will run accurately just as long as it remains in correct me chanical form and adjustment. If the human machine fails to run properly the first presumption should be-just as in the case of any ma chine-that some structure, some part of the anatomy. has gotten out of its
 proper relation to other structures. Some fault has developed in the form, or position, or adjustment of some , part of the organism"
 This viewpoint of disease is new , and revolutionary, yet simple, under
 standable and eminently practical Man is a machine. Like all machines, the laws governing the body and its operations at basis are mechanical. Whatever mechanical cause might throw the parts of any machine into l ill-repair--such as a jolt or strain, for example-may throw the human anatomy into improper adjustment,
 may put it in bad working order, thus producing a Arrangement of health 1 The right cure, obviously, is adjust
 ment. Osteopathy is adjustment. adv

ENTITLED TO A REST.

The army engineers who have made such splendid success of the work of constructing the Panama canal are now in big demand. Congress and the president are being asked to as sign them to the construction of the Alaska railway, to the work of i'm moving rivers and harbors and for various public improvement projects his is all complimentary to the en- gineers, but would it not be well to give them a rest:
 The Panama canal job for the army engineers has lasted over seven years, They never have seen ther- 1nometer marked below 80 degrees. Presumably their systems nave adapted themselves to conditions Of combined wet and heat, or otherwise the last taps would have sounded for these tropic workers before this. IT they rae ordered to Alaska, they will go and will say never word of pro test but ought they to be asked to go?
 There are several hundred officers of the engineers corps who never have seen Panama. Certainly from The ranks of these there can be drawn men able to build the Alaska railroad The sthmian engineers have earned a right to serve or a while in an entirely hospitable eli mate. Let some brother officers have a chance to do the big northern job and to earn the thanks of the Ameri can people. Tacoma Tribune.
