SCIENCE AND THE ELEMENTS

AS early as last Tuesday the United
States weather bureau began to trace the
path of the hurricane that swept Florida.
At that time the storm center was NOV
ing between St Kits and Porto Rico.
Twice a day thereafter the movement Of
the storm was published, THURSDAY
night the weather bureau announced
that the storm had passed Turks island,
moving west and northwest, attended by
dangerous shifting gales" Cautions
were sent out to all Bahama and Florida
sCraits shipping.
The weather map sent out from Wash
ington Thursday showed three distinct
tropical storms, one moving west towards
Miami, the second north, headed for the
Bahamas and another moving across the
track of the New York. Bahama steamers.
Friday morning the storm vas again
located, and predicted TO break on Flor.
Ga Saturday, as it did. Friday night
hurricane warning were sent out to cover
the same area.
In view of that set of facts, i%ncontro.
vertibiy recorded on the published maps
and warnings of the United States Wea-
Their bureau for last week, it will be seen
that loss of life greatly was curtalIed by
the efficient performance OF the bureau.
Anyone who read those storm warnings
had little excuse for being caught unpfe-
pared by the winds of devastation which
dashed the peninsula and swept north
westerly to the mainland with loss of life
and property damage not yet accurately
estimated and increasing hourly.
A few years ago the weather bureau
was considered fit subject for vaudeville
Joke or thigh. shifting paragrapher, but it
has been established that within the
bounds of science t eUnited States meteor
illogical stations are about as accurate as
n other branch of government, barring
perhaps the United States treasury
which always has to be right to a cent.

So let us square up for some o. the
weatherman jokes Of a more sophomore
and less understanding national period,
by giving credit where it is due IN the
track of one Of the, most destructive
storms the country has known, Hereat-
