WllUanis, son of John Sharp Williams. The students of the University of Mis souri have asked the college authorities to cut out one meal a day hereafter, they having found by experiment that they are "In better health and spirits and letter prepared for hard mental work" when eating only two meals a day. Mrs. Agnes Knox Black, wife cf Prof E. Carlton Ulack of Cambridge, SUar, has been appointed to the Ronton . university faculty and is the first woman who has ever held a position In the faculty of that institution. Shf will be at the head of the department of elocution and oratory. She took a pust-giaduaie course in Phila delphia along elocutionary Hues. Superintendent . of Schools Snyder of Jersey City, who, in his last two annual reports, bewilled the luck of teachers, lias just had another reduction of his force. It Is a rule of the board not to employ married women in the class rooms, and ten young schoolma'anis who had reasons to take offence al this edict haniled In their resignations. Some of them hud been married during the' vacation kea.on and would have reidgned sooner if they had not already been paid up to the close of the season. The board allows the teach ers at the close of the schools for the summer to draw their su'arles for July and August In advance. The prospective summer brides were very secretive about their wedding arrangement when thev applied for the advance payments, one of the ten is said to have been married when she drew her advance money. Thnne of the ten who have not already r.rrled are to wed so. soon that they did not think It worth while to begin work with the re opening of the school year.

SWSiXS.r At WEATHER AND THE PUBLIC Long Bange Forecasting Deplored as Being Dangerous and Detrimental GOVERNMENT OBSERVERS ON THE TOPIC People Are Asked to Consider the Matter Rationally and to Give the Scientific Investi gator a Hearing. In this modern day of rapid and general transmission of Intelligence pertaining to climatic and meteorological conditions, the United States weather bureau has won the confidence of the observing world in the accuracy of Its forecasts and has been the means of saving millions of dollars to the commercial and shipping world far in excess of the cost of the maintenance of the department. Tet at the same time thousands of people look askance at the weather bureau forecasts, and because of their occasional unimportant forecast fail ures In local Instances, roundly denounce the bureau as invariably Inaccurate and pin their faith to the long-rango forecast ers, believing implicitly in their improb able theories. It is the opinion of the leading meteorol. oglsts of the world that public interests are injured by the publication of long range weather forecasts, especially by such predictions as relate to severe storms, floods, drouths and other atmospheric phe nomena of a dangerous or damaging char acter. The persistency with which these predictions are foisted upon the public in dicates that they are more for personal gain than for the public wenl. They have reached such proportions that the weather bureau representatives at their recent meeting at Peoria, 111., considered the mat ter to be of sufficient importance to be the chief topic of their discussions, and an appeal was made to the public to ra tionally, fairly and temperately consider the absolute unreliability of the long-range forecasts and endeavor to counteract their Influence by an investigation, and thus re duce this constant preying upon the ere dullty of the public to a minimum. Work of the Cuessers. Ono of the members of that conference, who Is regarded as one of the foremost meteorologists of the country, said: "Some of these long-range, forecasters may be honest, and may In their Ignorance attach undue Importance to storms that may accidentally coincide In time of occur, rence with certain relative positions of planets, or with changes In the phases and positions of the moon, or with periods In the Increase or decrease of sun spots, or apparent varlutlons In the solar Intensity. Men of this class find that for which they Blncerely seek, und mark when they hit, but never mark when they miss, und the occurrence of a storm within the broad area of the I'nlted States, snd nt times within much broader areas, on or near the day for which they have predicted a storm, confirms In their mind the value of their predictions." , It is hardly logical to believe that these men have discovered some new physical law of meteorological principle that has been withheld from astronomers who have mud astronomy and meteorolnpy a life study, or In defiance cf the observations of acleutlllo Investigators whose faclliiiea for Investigation are limitless. Itanarr lu the Publication. The publication of these predictions are calculated to be positively injurious to ag ricultural, commercial and other Industrial Uilurssu and casta a serious doubt upon DAILY DEE: SUNDAY.

D., Om&ha, Neb. tho honesty of their purpose upon their as serted disinterested devotion to the pub'.lo welfare. Said this same speaker: "Such publications bring the science of meteor ology into disrepute and cannot therefore be made in response to a desire to advance that science along useful lines; and they retard the work of the honest Investigator, through whose efforts only can ulns be made in the fundamental knowledge of the causation of weather that will Juatlfy fore casts for a month or a season in ad vance." The time may come when It may be pos sible to forecast the weather for the coming seasons, but it has not yet arrived. An Instance Is familiar to many Omahans whero a long range forecaster, put In his appearance at Omaha with his astronomical apparatus presuming to be a model of the solnr and planetary system, from which he was to predict the weather for any period In advance, be it a month or a year. On the same hypothesis he could predict tho weather for a decade or a century ahead. The planetary motions are practically un varying so far as human observation or caluculatlon can determine. It Is only by tho Invention of new appliances for plane tary and firmamentnl observation that more Is learned of their movements. It Is hardly to be presumed that the mercenary long range forecasters are supplied with any better appliances for planetary observation thnn the .magnificently endowed and equipped observatories throughout the United States. MUSIC AND MUSICIANS It is with feelings of great pleasure not unmixed with a sense of stern responsi bility, that as musical critic of The Omaha Bee, I once more take up the pen, and sword (If need be) In the interests and fur the cause of art. There Is a pleasure In feeling that you have done conscientious work, and blessed Is he who can find many to disagree with him, for it is a ture sign that people are thinking. A friend of mine yas talking to me the other night about a certain writer who'used to be in vogue, but who is now less frequently mentioned. Seeing one of his magazines on the table, I said "Why do you read that, seeing you do not like the writer?" and his reply was, "Well, he makes me think along certain lines which interest me." The musical column of The Bee will stand for what It has always stood for, namely, the best Interest of the holy art of music, from whut the writer honestly conceives to be right. I am not politic. I have heard that many times. And for the encouragement of those who tell me so, I will say that I hope I never shall be. To be politic in a matter of Art Is cowardly. Therefore I shall not be politic. For "polINc" In matters of criti cism, simply means "telling or Implying a lie."' The musical column of The Bee has been said to contain severe criticisms on people who are trying to do their best. Never! Do your best, but do not try to do some thing away beyond you; do what you can do, at the present, but do not attempt things which you will not be ready for for at least flvo or ten years. Let us all get together. The sacred cause needs assistance. There are enemies who would drag It In the rtust of commer cialism, or degrade it Into an advertising medium. But music la greater, holler and more wonderful than man's petty opinion of It. Music has a higher mission than to bt an adjunct to a dance. Mualo osvsr suffers from the lgnorancs WAIN -r CNTRANCe jxstancc soorrrr IUL of those who pass their empty opinions upon it, and say "that kind suits me," as though the divine art were created and per fected all these years for the single,' soli tary purpose of some Insignificant crea ture's personal amusement. Yes, the Art has its enemies. And let us who are Its friends therefore get together In one determined, united effort to throw out bodily the spirit of ignorant discussion of music as though' It were merely an amusement, and let us place it 'on its throne. Are you one of thosa who will Join the crusade? How shall we begin? Well, for instance, there is one way. The Concert Promoters, an organization originated by Mr. August Horglum and carried forward during his absence by a very capable corps of work, ers, is in the field with a series of con certs. These concerts will be given by men and women of national reputation, for no effort is being spared to get the best. You will learn from them. You should support the Concert Promoters. It only costs $10, I believe, to be a member. Write to Mr. Lorglum or the secretary, Davldge block, and find out about it. We are all going to see Omaha a great musical center. There is not time now for little quarrels, for small bickerings. We are In a big business and we must forget things that are of the past. Omaha, a Musical Center of National Im portance. Are you with us? Are you going to be a crusuder? Come on! It is time now for the musicians on mudic lovers to be classed. There Is a high standard, and there Is a low standard. Those who are In favor of the highest standard must get together. It Is not a question of whether they should or not. We must! That is, if we would see our beloved art honored and respected, as It should be. This Is my salutatory. I am thankful to say thut I know that there are many In Omaha who feel exactly as I have written. I am thankful to know that in Omaha there is a musical strength which h capa ble of doing anything. I am thankful for the fact that there is less animosity amongst the leaders of the profession than at any time in Omaha's musical history. And above all, I am thankful to sea the Illuminating touches of a brightening dawn for a reign of Music, at its highest and best, that will shed Its benignant Influence on , the entire middle west. It Is hero. Don't you see It? Let me quote a line or two from "Edu cating a Citizen." by no less a philosopher than Plato: ' And what shall be their education? Can we find a better than the old-fashioned sort? and this has two divisions gymnas tic for the body and muslo for the soul True. Hhall we begin eduratlon with music and go on to gymnastic afterwards? By all means. And when you apeak of niulc, do you rank literature under music or not? v I do. Hear what Martin Luther has to guy: I always loved music; whoso has skill In this art Is of a good temperament, fitted (or all things. We must leach music In schools; a schoolmaster ought to have skill In music, or I would not regard him; neither should we ordain young nu n as preachers unless they have been well exercised in music. Listen to the words of Ilenryli Blenkle wlcx, in "Quo Vadls": When I listen to music new delights and beauties open before me every Instant I pursue them, I try to seize them; but be fore I can take thein to myself, new ami newer ones How in, Just like waves of the sea. which roll on from Infinity. Hence I tell thee that muidc Is like the sea. We suif on one abort and gaze at remote Fair, ness, but we cannot see the other shore. And Confuolua says: Ah, music: sacred tongue of God. I hear thee calling and I come. And then consider there are so-called musicians who would try to "popularize" music by catering to the most crude and Ignorant desires (not needs or wants) of the lowest clnss of intellect or imagination. No, let the people be gradually brought to see the beauty of their divine heritage. Noth ing else will benefit. Then will they feci the refreshing influence of Good Music on the wornout soul. But to limit it? It is Impossible. You limit yourself. . One might Just as well try to look at the sunset through a piece of green glass, be cause he could not enjoy all tho wealth of harmonies in the colors. But then, alas! come to think of it, there are many people to whom a sunset merely Indicates Buppertlme another chance to eat. "So then, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions." THOMAS J.

MORGAN BARS AUTOMOBILES Wife and Daughter Narrowly Escape Injury and Whlxarlgs Musi Keep Awny, NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-(New York Her ald Service Special to The Bee.) To a venerable oak trte which stands at the main entrance to Cragrtton, J. Plerpont Morgan's estate at Highland Falls, there la nailed this notice to the public: ATTOMORILFS NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER THESE GROUNDS. Mr. Morgan's estate at Highland Falls has ulv ays been open to visitors In the daytime, and hitherto no restriction has been placed by the great financier as to the character of the vehicles which he per mitted to travel over the smooth roods surrounding his summer home on the banka of the Hudson. , A runaway, In which Mrs. Morgan and her unmarried daughter narrowly escaped probable death, was the cause of the post ing of the warning notice to automobtllsts. A racing automobile caused the runaway, Tho owner was a visitor to the estate. In stead of slowing up at the approach of the Morgan carriage, the chauffeur Increased his speed. The tooting and the dust scared the Morgan horses, and they bolted. Only the most skillful work on the part of the driver prevented th.e overturning of the carriage on the brink of a deep ravine be tween Highland Falls and Fort Montgom ery. Walker Adv 5 m 2 T
