Alaska you can see that the Japan
current has shunted past the Aleu-
ian islands and is causing mild
weather. in that part of the North
vest. 1t has not been so cold in
Alaska this winter as it has been
ERE. l have noticed the weather re-
ort from day to day and have been
ruck with the mildness Of the win
er there. The explanation is easy.
he winds have drifted the ice in a
me extending south of the Aleutian
stands and the Japan current has
zen turned from its usual course
nd DETECTED along the Alaskan
.oast. AS a consequence we have
ost the modifying effect along the
cast off the Sound and are having
older weather, while Alaska is hav-
ng unusually warm weather for this

rhen the ice foe breaks up and the
apan current returns to its natural

long the Sound. We will then have
Chinook wind and warmer wealth /
