"We are making the western trip,"
said President Wheeler, "to get better
acquainted with western , men and west
ern business and cities while endeavor
ing to show to the western states that
tho Chamber of Commerce of the United
States Is not an eastern organisation. We
realize the value Ot co-opcratton nnd the
cities of the east know they must hhve
the help and friendship of tho Trans
mlsslsslppi cities to maKo a success ot
he national chamber. Tho organization
Is less than a year old now, but It has
grown to a membership representative of
nearly every city of any size In the
United States. Its purpose Is to mobilize
the forces of industry and support or
oppose national Issues that effect In
dustry and' commerce.
'The present organization of a na
tional Chamber of Commerce represents
our third attempt," said President
Wheeler, "A study of the previous ef
forts to unify American business Interests
disclosed that they were largely con
fined to the Atlantic 'seaboard and Hhe
territory east of the Rocky mountains.
The Impression came to prevail that the
far west had-vnot been seriously con
sidered on the part of such organizations.
"The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States at the very Inception en
deavored to emphasize the difference
between Its oolicy 1imt tho apparent'
policies of. jts predecessors.' It elected
three directors from the Pacific coast,
has kept In conttant touch with coast
associations, and In proof of the fact that
ths Importance of the co-operatlon df
the Transmlssissippi territory is thor
thoroughly recognized, now holds Its
July meeting In San Francisco."

CHICAGO. July ft Astronomical dis

to forecast weather conditions .1

by Prof. E. B. Frosrof Yerkcs observa
tory, Williams Bay, W. The announce
ment is the result ot ton years' tabula
tion of observation! of tho sun. Tho rec
ords show that the "solar constant" does
not exist, as the sun Is a" variable star,
nnd that solar radiation Is indicated by
tho sun spots which wax and wane In a
regular cycle of eleven years. The ob
servations were made, according to Prof,
Frost, for the purpose ot bringing the
science of astronomy to the aid ot agri
culture In order that farmers may know
in advance of planting seasons what crop
prospects are.
Variation In solar heat amounting to
more than S per cent tn a week was dis
covered. Radiation from tho sun Is high
whoti sun spots are numerous. At pres.
cut sun spots are few, but In four years
It may be expected that a large number
will develop, according to Prof. Frost.
