WASHINGTON, March SI.—Just
because accidents will happen like
that "flare-back,” which, on March
4, 1909, isolated Washington, the
Weather Bureau wants it distinctly
understood that its predictions aren’t
guess work. They haven’t any goose
borte prophets up the observatory;
they don’t believe in Brother Ground
hog, nor the tree frog, nor the moss
on the tree, nor any of those other
old-fashioned weather guides. The
process of figuring oat the kind of
weather that is coming is a highly
scientific work.
Some folks have an idea there is
something occult about the forecast
ing of storms, frosts and floods. Not
a few think the observers must nec
essarily get their data by reading the
planets, the stars and the moon. But
they don't.
Storms, as a rule, do not originate
in the United States. They come
to us from the Philippines, Japan, Si
beria, Alaska, Canada, or the Gulf of
Mexico. The Weather Bureau gets
cable, telegraphic or wireless notice
of a foreign storm.
Station after station and vessel af
ter vessel, reports the storm’s arriv
al in its neighborhood. so that the
general direction and rate of pro
gress can he determined very early.
In fact, the arrival of some storms
can be foretold ten days in advance.
The forecasters watch for the reg
ion of low barometer, which is tile
storm center aroimd"whieh the winds
blow. The whirl or eddy moves bod
lly forward with the general eastward
drift of about t>50 miles a day in our
latitudes. The forecaster determines
the direction of movement of the
storm and its velocity.
When weather disturbances are re
ported. the forecasters know from
experience about how long it takes
them to reach our Pacific coast, and
then how long after they will reach
the Atlantic coast.
To keep tab on cold waves that
come into the United States from
Canada and Alaska, the Weather Bit
reaii studies the Canadian weather
reports. Kngland sends reports from
Iceland, the BrBitish Islands and
Continental Kurope and daily reports
come from SI Petersburg. A storm'
sometimes encircles the world in its
course.
The same business like system of
tracing the track ol' a storm is used in
determining the arrival of frosts.
Notice.
While thanking the many friends
who offered support and desired that
I run for city councilman I cannot ac -
cept the honor at this time, as my
business interests require my full at
tention. DOLPH SMITH.

| Forced Return to Juneau and Maripoaa
I is Bringing New Shaft—Passengers
| and Mail to be Transferred
The steamer Admiral- Evans, which
was expected to reach Valdez al noon
today, was forced to return to Juneau
with a broken shaft and will not reach
Valdez until after the arrival of the
steamer Mariposa, which left Seattle
last night, bringing a new shaft for
the crippled liner.
The passengers and mail for South
western Alaska ports will be transfer
red to the Mariposa and the new
shaft will then be placed in the Ev
ans, after which it is presumed'the
boat will come north.
The Prospector has wired to Junean
for the details of the accident to the
boat. It is not known how the Evans';
was able to return to Jnheau, al- j
though it is probable that the Alame- !
da may have towed her back to the i
capital. The Evans left Juneau for !
Valdez at 11:3ft a. m. on Sunday and:
had the following passengers for Val
dez:
\V. Estes, Oscar Carter. C. Spragtie,
Mrs. II. E. E. King and son. Mrs. Cook i
and baby, James Craig and wife, Mrs. j
Gustafson. Charles Nelson and 14

tefmined that her husband’s body
shall be buried in his home statb,i
Mrs. Edward McQueen, of 1’lster, Pa.,'
is today rushing prearations for an
expedition to the country near Cas
cade Falls, in Alberta’s hinterland,
where the remains of Edward Me
Queen, late real estate broker, are
buried in a desolate grave. McQueen, i
with two companions, started from
Edmonton for Fort McMarray last
spring, hunting and prospecting. They
were caught in Cascade rapids May
1. 1913. and drowned. A reward was j
ottered for the recovery of the bod (
tes and hunters located them below \
the rapids. They will have to be !
brought hundreds of miles by portage ,
and canoe. Early this winter a party i
went north and brought back the
bodies of McQueen’s companions, but
failed to locate McQueen's. Mrs. Mc
Queen expects ilie second party to
start north early next month.
