HIS VOICE FROZEN TO POST
At least This Is Deduction of Wyo-
ming Weather Observer From a
Very Peculiar Phenomenon.

Scoffers have arisen from time to
time TO say that United States official
weather reports are a joke in so far
as they deal with the future; but their
descriptions OF the present and past
are admittedly serious and accurate.
Therefore one must not read in too
1ovial n frame of mind the report on
David Moore, observer at Castle Rock,
WyO., where they have been having
some very cold weather. Mr.. Moore
cites In his report that one night two
men stopped ut his cabin, and the next
morning he tried in vain to call one
of them, who was at the barn, to come
TO breakfast But the. man did not
come. So the two sat down to break
fast without him. In about ten min
utes the man in the barn strolled into
the house.
"Why didn't you call me when break
fast was ready?" he asked.
II did" was the answer.
That was during the cold snap. A
thaw hit Castle Rock a few days ago
Moore says, and while he was stand
ing In the back door summing himself
he was startled by weird medley Of
counds. BY listening closely he could
hear the words:
Come on to breakfast :"
There was no one in sight. And then
he realized why the man had not heard
him.
The voice, his own voice. had frozen
to a post and was thawing out.-Bos-
