FEW OF HIS KIND REMAIN
Eulogy Pronounced Over "UncIe Tip"
Proved Him Somewhat Peculiar
Type Of Magistrate.

my uncle. Tip Waller. who used to
be justice OF the peace In and for
Shagbark township, had a wooden leg,
and otherwise was about as queer an
excuse for judicial parsonage as any
body ever heard Of" related the Old
Codger. But in spite Of all that the
voters regularly tuckered to 1t and re-
elected him by overwhelming MAORI
ties. You see, he was so quaint and
unprecedented, and had such small re-
spect for tradition and knew so little
OF Jurisprudence that, Just as likely as
not, he'd get the would-be litigants to-
gether Informally when there was a
row on hand, listen to both sides, pry
into the matter while he smoked his
old cob pipe, adjudicate the squabble
according to the truth and horse sense
and then tell 'em funny story that
would send everybody away happy.
Uncle Tips funeral was the biggest
ever held in that neighborhood; sew
eral people cried and one old Teller
remarked to stranger who came
rambling around and inquired the se-
cret OF the late gents popularity; The
SQUIRE was helva justice, but he was
helva honest mani And guess that

as anything could have done. Kan

THE BEST Treatment FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp. prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty Of the hair, the following sps-
clal treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make q
parting. gently rubbing Cuticura Oint-
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample Of each

"eood Old Times" Again.

Hospital patients of today are bet
ter off than their ancestors of the
good old times" Mr.. Wheatley, In
his book on London" quotes from a
Scottish act of parliament of 1886 to
the effect that 'if ony man brings to
the market corrupt swine or salmond
to be saudi, they shall be taken by the
baillle, and lncontinent without ony
question. sail be sent to the leper
folke;" and IL there be no lepers then
only sail they be destroyed utterlie."
The same pleasant custom obtained in
Oxford in the fifteenth century, where
all putrid meat and fish was by statute
sent TO st. Johns hospital.

arrival OF some storms can be fore
told ten days in advance.
The forecasters watch for the re-
gion of low barometer, which is the
storm center around which the winds
blow. This whirl or eddy moves bod
lily forward with the general eastward
drift of about $50 miles day in our
ATTITUDES. AS the lines of equal pres
sure (isobars) around the low center
crowd closer together. the winds at
tending the storm increase in force.
The forecaster determines the direc-
ton of movement of the storm and its
velocity.
When weather disturbances are re-
ported. 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, II a
storm coming from Siberia drifts east
ward around the North pole and re-
appears 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 days.
Unexpected conditions may delay
storms or divert them from the
straight track just as refrigerator
car may be thrown off its schedule or
be shipped by accident on a wrong
road. Some OF these storms deplete
themselves by running into regions
of high barometer which are of great
er magnitude and extent than the
storm itself Some of them. however
travel completely around the world.
To keep tab on cold waves that
come into the United States from
Canada and Alaska, the weather bu-
reau studies the Canadian weather re-
ports. England sends reports from
Iceland, the British islands and cont.
mental Europe, and daily reports come
from St Petersburg on the conditions
in Russia and Siberia.

in tracing the track Of a storm Is
applied In determining the arrival Of
frosts.
Flood forecasts are made In much
the same way. Information as to the
amount of rainfall at the head waters
of streams that cause floods are COW
cred by telegraphic reports sent by
local observers. As this rain reaches
the main channel. the height Of the
water in the channel is determined by
successive gauging stations. Past
records establish how much height.
say OF 20 feet at Dubuque, Iowa, will
produce at Davenport, another station
80 miles down the Mississippi. This
plan is followed all the way down the
river and at each point full allow
ance is made for the effects Of water
from tributaries, and from additional
and local rainfall. AS a result OF
these observations In the recent flood,
the people OF Cairo had warning a
week or ten days In advance. The
Pittsburgh district can be given only
IL to "a hours notice, because flood
is upon them within "a hours after a
heavy rainstorm.
To carry on this work of forecast
ing storms, frosts and floods, there
are established throughout the United
States 200 branch bureaus. each with
apparatus for measuring rainfall,
wind, etc., and with circulating sys-
tenn of information between them that
twice every "a hours swaps observa'
tons, each with the other 1879.
Briefly, forecasting of the modern
school is resolved into watching the
course of great disturbances and cal.
culating their probable movements
and the time 1t will take them to
cover given distances. But then
there is good deal Of the forecast
ers work more subtle than this. For
instance, 1t recently has been discov-
cred that there is a remarkable inter,
play between atmospheric phenomena
in widely separated regions. The
state Of the barometer in Siberia in
winter is found to be related in an
intimate way to the existence and
progress OF storms in the United
States at the same time. And now
the modern forecasters are reaching
out into other continents for their
storm warnings and representations.

who recently signed liquor license
petitions. The names OF the signers
of such petitions were published Re-
