Music is the word that expresses Bozeman social activity for
the week. The harmony of the Christmas season is ringing
through program numbers in each church and lodge hall of the
city, as well as through the singing and dancing in private homes.
Programs and pageants are telling the Christmas story with
vital force and beauty. Each person, who is not playing a part
in a Christmas program, is enjoying the part played by some
other person. FRA .f9@~

Known Weather
Prophet De Voc

Hacl;ensack, Y. J., Jan. 2o-.\n-
drew Jackson de Voc. so, nationally
known amateur weather prophet,
died at his home of heart disease to-
day, disappointed by failure to real
ize one Of his LIES greatest ambi-
tons For years he had been look
Ing forward to viewing the eclipse
of the sun, but when the great solar
spectacle came yesterday was too Ill
to behold it.
De Voc prided himself on the fact
that. unlike most amateur predicters,
he made his weather prophecy pay.
For more than a quarter of CEN
fury he had earned several thousand
dollars a year by providing copy
righted forecasts to patent medicine
companies on issuing yearly altman
acs.
II addition he prepared weather
predictions for farmers, cotton bro
kers and spectators who appealed
for his services.
De Voc is said to have won his first
reputation by his prediction of the
blizzard Of 1883 that buried New
York City deep in snow. fIe is re-
ported to have foreso n that evident
by two weeks.
A few years ago De Voc visited
Washington in an effort to induce
the United States government to
adopt his system of forecasting,
which, he asserted, was superior to
the one used by the weather bureau.
He failed in this. however, as he nei-
thcr employed instruments nor the
calculations recognized by the Off
cial forecasters.
