NEW WIND RECORD ! DEVICE INSTALLED
 WEATHER BUREAU

The local U. S. Weather Bureau is now equipped with the latest device for the recording of wind velocity. The new anemometer, as the instrument is called, is much more accurate than the old device that was in general use for a great number of years. It's de- sign and perfection was brought about by the cooperation of techni- clans of the Weather Bureau and the Bureau of Standards. It ap- parently records a wind of less velocity than the instrument it replaced. A 36 mile velocity re- corded on the old type will register only little over 30 miles per hour on the new machine. This diff ference is explained by the fact that the new instrument records as near as is mechanically possible the exact velocity. The old type device was not accurate md it's recording was higher than the ac- tual velocity.
 The new instrument records per manently the velocity throughout

P-Young David George Brownlow
Cecil, Lord Burghley, officer in his
Brittainic Majesty's crack regiment Of
guards, English country gentleman,
justice of the peace and newly
crowned Olympic 400 meter hurdle
champion, would like TO participate
in 1882 Olympic games at Los An
geles il "Im not out Of the running
altogether" So he told The Asso-
ciated Press after he had defeated
the American stars, +. Morgan Tay-
Tor and Frank Cuhel in the 400 meter
hurdle finals yesterday.
Nothing would please me better
than TO compete in America again al
through / have reasons for not re-
visiting the United States in the i'm
mediate future" he said.
One imagined that the principal
reason for the titled athletes reluc-
lance to visit America was standing
beside him at the time-a fair-headed
young English girl, Lady Mary Scott,
daughter of the Duke of Buccleigh,
to whom Burghley is engaged.
Burghley's fiancee sat in the sta
dunn yesterday with the athletes
parents, the Marquis and Marchioness
OF Exeter. Ii took all her English
reserve to refrain from climbing the
victory pole herself after her titled
hoy friend" won in a breathless fin
ish from Cuhel, racing across the
tape ahead after the Iowa star had
drawn ever at the last hurdle.
The Marquis made no effort to
conceal his pride in this sensational
victory OF his son, whom he always
has said could run a bit"

as the Prince Of Wales himself, ex-
planned he just iran and hurdled the
