Annual Report of Willi * L.
Moore , Chief of U. S.
Weather Bureau.
Ten years as chief of the weath
er and 19 years in various subordi
nate grades is the record. The
administration of this branch of
the government shows advance all
along the line and offers a splen \
did argument for the continuance
pi the Civil Service policy.
I
The greatest improvement in
the methods of forecasting the
weather are sure to follow the in
auguration of the physical labora
tory now completed on the top of
Mount Weather , Va. Hitherto
the empirical methods have been
relied upon. In the near future
the old methods which have assist
ed in building up the most suc
cessful weather bureau in the
world , will have as an adjunct the
scientific deductions from one of
the most perfectly equipped labor
atories in the world.
. , This year's report is no excep-
tidn. to tbe rule that oao solitary
w
forecast sometimes" saves more in
j
lives and property than the ser
vice has cost for the year or a ser
J
ies J r-f yoais.
T'ie forecasts issued are gradu
ally covering all the larger inter
ests of the industries of the U. S.
Very few of these are now carried
on without a careful study of the
daily forecasts.
The cost of the service has in
creased but slightly more than 4
per cent per annum and the ser
vice value has been improved in
every way beyond all proportion
to the increased cost.
A careful perusal of this annual
report of the chief of the bureau
would well repay any citizen.
