6 THE WORK OF THE WEATHER BORE/ How Storms. Frosts :ind Foo Are Forecasted. AN INTERESTING WOR Many People Think There i- S?u tiling Mysterious ami Ocvulr About tIk* llureaii's Work. Washington, r>. C., Feb. 5.?Msi people have an idea that there something mysterious and occ about the work the weather Buer In forcasting the coming of stor frosts and floods, not a few that t observers must necessarily get th data reading the plantes, the stj and the moon,. As a matter of fi the forecasters of the Bureau forte the coming of disturbances in a by nessllke way, very similar to that which a man who has ordered a sh ment of goods would estimate t date of its arrival. Suppose a business man had ord< ed a carload of pineapples from t Hawwaiian Islands. He would kn< the average time it would take t steamer to make the trip to the P? iflc port, the average time for unlc ing and into refrigerator cars, a the average number of days to be i lowed these cars for their trip acre the continent to New York. V estimate however, would be subjf to error because the steamship mig be delayed by fog, or the cars mig meet with a accident. Storms, like pineapples, as a rn do not originate in the United Stat? They come to us, some from t Philippines. Japan, Siberia, Alask Canada of the Gulf of Mexico. T wonthor hnrp.ni pnta r.-ihlp tnlocr phic or wireless notice of a foreii storm. Station after station or vess after vessel reports the storm's a rival in its neighborhood, so that tl general direction and rate of progre can he determined very nearly, fact, the arrival of some storms ci he foretold ten days in advance. The forecasters watch for the reif of low barometer which is the stod center around which the winds bio' This whirl or eddy moves bodily fo ward with the general eastward dri of about 650 iui!es a day .n our la tudes. As the lines of equal prer.su (isobars) around the low cent crowd closer together, the woids i tending the storm increases in fort The forecaster determines the dire tion of movement of the storm ai its velocity. When weather disturbances a reported, the forecasters know fro experience about how long it tak them to reach our Pacifiic coast ai then how long after they will rea< the Atlantic, coast, for example if storm coming from Siberia drif eastward around the North Pole ai reappears in Alaska, it should appe in Washington and Oregon in abo two days; should get to the Gre Lakes in six days and to the Atlani coast in seven or eight days. Unexpected conditions may deli storms or divert them from th< straight track just as a refrigehat car may be thrown off it schedule > be shipped by accident on a wroi road. Some of these storm s deple themselves by running into regioi of high barometer which are of gren er magnitude and extent than tl storm itself. Some of them, howeve travel completely around the world. To keep tab on cold waves th; come into the United States from Ca: ada and Alaska, the Weather Bures studies the Canadian Weather r reports from Iceland, tne British I lands and Continental Europe, an daily reports come from St. Peter burg on the conditions in Russia an Siberia. The same businesslike system u ed in tracing the track of a storm applied in determining the arrival c frosts. Flood forecasters are made in muc the same way. Information as to th amount of rainfall at the head watei of streams that cause floods are covei ed by telegraphic reports sent by 1< cal observers. As rain reaches th main channel, the height of th water in the channel is determined b successive gaging stations. Pas records establish how much a heigh say of 20 feet at Dubuque, Iowa, wi produce at Daveport another statio 80 miles the Mississippi. This pla is followered all the way down th river, and at each point full allowanc is made for the effects of water froi tributaries, and from additional an local rainfall. As a result of thes observations in the recent flood, th people of Cairo had warning a weel or ten days in advance. The Pitt burg district can be given only 12 t 24 hours* notice, because a flood i upon them within 24 hours after j heavy rain storm. Nntiro r\t V.li>i>tlnn Whereas, one-third of the elector and one-third of the freeholders re siding in Rich Hill school disrtict, No 24, in Lancaster county, have petitioi ed the county board of education t< order an election to determine whe ther or not an additional tax of threi (3) mills shall be levied an all rea and personal propetry in said distric for school purposes.
