Su7ln,erIess Year !,
Predicted for 1926;
Ocean Cooling Off
N aUy photographers
Belief Not Shared in BY
Veteran Weather Man.

Unless scientific signs fail, says
Lieut.. Comdr. George E. Brandt, aide
to the naval photographer, this Sum-
mer Will be a cold one and the Sum-
rner Of 1926 even colder one.
A study of solar radiation and
ocean temperatures has convinced
him that next year "Summerless"
1916 may be duplicated.
Lieut.. Comdr. Brandt points out
that cyclonic disturbances are the
unknown quantity in the weather
equation, and that while the present
outlook Is for dcided temperature
drop, actual conditions at the time
may be far different because of fac
tors that are now known. He be-
lieves, however, that ocean tempera-
lures greatly influence the weather
and that the 1861 weather already
has been largely determined by the
heat of the sun that was stored up
in the ocean during 19223-4, when
solar radiation was below normal.
BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 11.-Any effort to
forecast weather over a period of a
year or two years would be nothing
more than wild guessing, said Prof.
Henry J. Cox, district weather fore
caster here, today in commenting
upon predictions by others that the
next two Summers would be cold
and that 1926 might duplicate Sum
merless" 1916.
Maybe the next two Summers will
be cold or they may be hot" he said.
That the Federal Government does
not try to forecast more than a week
ahead is recognition of the impossi-
bility of 1t, Prof. Cox pointed out.
and even then the data are called a
outlook" and not a forecast"
There has been nothing in solar
radiation or reports of ocean tenn
peratures to indicate to him that the
coming Summer may be cold, with no
Summer at all next year, said the
forecaster; the year is starting of
well above the normal for the entire
country.

AND STILL GROWING
tuberculosis Association Re-
ports on Sources of Reve-
nue. in Campaign.

Returns received by the Tuberculo-
sis Association for the sale of Christ
mas seals, as compiled up to the close
OF January. showed total receipts of
So2.177.23. The association reports
that returns are still coming in and
that between S400 and $500 Is expected
from the sale of Christmas seals by
the patients and staff OF the Tubercu-
losis Hospital, under the direction Of
Miss Marjorie Maynard.
Last year the hospital personnel
sold s412.57 worth, and they promise
to do better this year. This amount,
added to the sum already in hand, will
bring the seal sale to within approx
mately s2,500 OF its goal OF $4,000.
The directors of the association con-
slider this a good showing. in view
of the fact that the public schools.
which last year sold nearly $4,000
worth of seals, did not participate in
this years sale.
LOSS Largely Recovered.
This loss OF income has been largely
recovered by increased returns from
the mail sale, which is expected to
show a gain of at least $1,000 over
last year. Receipts from other sources
have been as follows: From booth
sales conducted by volunteers, s2.-
0S9.80; from private schools, s862.89;
through personal solicitation. S715:
from coin boxes, $581.31; miscellane-

Col. Steese States Carriers
of Serum Made Speed on
Alaska Mail Trail.

Col James Gordon Steese. United
States Army. president of the Alaska
road commission. who was in charge
of local transportation arrangements
for President Harding's tour OF the
territory in 1923. explained that the
trail over which Leonard Seppalla
drove his team OF dogs with the
serum for stricken Nome was a Gov
ernment mail trail. and had been i'm
proved during the past year in sew
eral portions About $1,000 had been
spent on the road and trail during
the year, he said
The remarkable speed shown by the
drivers over this trail from the rail-
road station TO Nome was believed
by Col. Steese to be made possible
partly by tho continuous improve
ments which the Government has
been making in this artery from tho
important Alaskan city through the
ice and snow to civilization. Col.
Steese knows Seppalla personally and
has driven his championship dogs.
Improved Every Year.
Grading and bridges are put in
place nearly every year, Col. Steese
said. Throughout Alaska there are
1000 miles of dogSled trails, the col
onel explained, stating that in many
parts of the country in " inter the

means of transportation Reindeer
are being used, he said, but they have
been found impracticable for long
hauls, as they require too much food
en- route. A bale Of frozen salmon

carry a dog-team a long way.
Seppalla and his team OF great ST.
berian Alaskan sweepstakes dogs were
characterized by Col Steese as the
pride of the North. The government
itself had frequently employed Sep
paIla to drive them, he said, on i'm
portant missions.

Connection with preparing his program
for the next years work on the
roads, trails and transportation high
ways of Alaska. Last year, he said,
about 100000 was spent for this

priated for the coming year. The two

YACHT premier"
ON START OF CRUISE

The Premier, 45-foot cabin cruiser
belonging to Eugene LeBar Of this
city, was totally destroyed by fire Sat
urday afternoon about o'clock when
the engine backfired as the boat was
being backed around in the channel of
the Kennebec river and the flames were
quickly transmitted to the gasoline
soaked cockpit. Mr.. LeBar and Law
renee Purinton. who were on the boat
at the time, were on deck, and so
quickly did the flames spread that bv
the time they could get to the cockpit
with hre extinguisher the entire in
Terror or the yacht was in flames. The
Doats tank had just been filled with
gasoline, about $50 gallons having
been taken aboard, and this. a1thougb
II old not explode, caused gigantic
flames to burst from the craft as she
foated down the river.
Reports to the effect that the two
men were forced to Jump for their
iives was denied by Mr. Purinton last
evening, who said that they had plenty
OF time and simply abandoned the
craft as there was no use in STAYING
ana they thought it best to notify the
hre department. River drivers who
were near took them off In a small
boat, but Mr.. Purinton declared that
they were within 10 feet of the boom
at the time Of the accident. so that
they could easily have saved them
selves.
The flaming yacht fioated down the
river and finally grounded on the west
side Of the river near Britts Gully.
Members of the Augusta fire depart-
ment put out in boat and attempted
to combat the flames with the small
pony" chemicals, but the fire had at
tanned too much Roadway and their
efforts were in vain.
Mr.. Purinton stated last evening
that the cruiser was worth about s15.-
600 and that it was partially insured.
There was on the boat at the time of
the fire considerable personal property,
including clothing, victrola and
other things. All of the contents of
the yacht were lost.

Damaged in Crash I

badly crippled and third was dam
aged as the result of two successive
collisions. which occurred on the
Augusta Winthrop highway, at a
point between the Green house turn
and the True place, about $50 Sum

the extent of the damage done him,
and observed the car, which was
following him, in a head-on collie
sion, with the Ford.
The car behind the Cloutier
machine was a Studebaker coupe,
owned by Mrs. Louise Aubin Of this
city. The Studebaker and the Ford
were ditched on opposite sides Of the
road, and Mr.. Cloutier finding that
his machine had not been badly
damaged, continued to Manchester
to summon aid for the other drivers
and cars concerned in the mix up.
The coupe owned by Mrs. Aubin
was seriously damaged about the
front end. The axle. radiator, mud
guards and lights were crushed ana
the front springs were broken. The
car operated by Simmons came
through the collision with a broken
left front wheel. damaged axle sand

suit of their findings another chap
ter of the crash may be aired. in
