r'"'r"7 i"vir' ' FOUR THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1914 EVENIWG EDITION. f i !i . I i i - How Weather is Forecasted MANY people 1 nve nn Idea that there Is something myatorlous ami octult about Hie work of tho Weather Bureau In forecasting the coining of storm, 'frosts nnd floods. Not n fow think Hint tho ob servers must get their data liy rond Ing tho planotn, the stars nnd tho moon. As a matter of fnrt t.ie fore caster of the Bureau foretells tl e coining of disturbances In a IjiihIiipbs llko way, very similar to that In which a man who has ordered a ship ment of goods would estimate tho ttato of I's arrival. Suppose a business man has order ed a carload of pineapples from tho Hawaiian Islands, lie would know - tho avorngu time It would take the Htoatnor to make the trip to thu Pac ific port, the average time for un- iiiiiiiiug null iuuiiiiik nidi iriiiguiiiiui ears, and the average number of dnys to be allowed these cars for their trip across the continent to Now York. Ills estimate, however, would be subject to error because the steam ship might be delayed by fog, or the cars might meet with an accident. Storms, like pineapples, as n rulo, do not originate In the United States. Thoy ooDia to us, some from the Philippines, Japan, Siberia. -Alnshn, Canada or tl e (Julf of Mexico. The Woalhor Bureau gets cable, tele graphic or wireless notice of a for oIrii storm. Station after station, or vessel after vessel reports tho storm's at rival In its neighborhood, o that the general direction and rato of progress can be determined very onr ly. In fact the arrival of soino ; storms can be told ten nays in ad vance. The forecasters watch for tho reg ion of low barometer which' Is the storm center around whlr'i the wind blows. This whirl or eddy moves i br-rll'.y forward with the general cast-1 ward drift of about fSBO miles n day , in our latitudes. As tho lines of otial pressure (Isobars) nronlrl the low center crowd closer together, tho winds attending the storm Incrons" In force. Tho forecaster determlnos tho direction of movement of tiro storm and Its velocity. When weather disturbances nro ro AaaN.aSaNW WVnVVrv ww PONTICS AND POLITICIANS. Montclalr, N.

Mayor Carter Harrison of Chlcnyo says' I bat he Is willing to have Demo cratio harmony If the renomluatlnn of County Judge Owens and the el imination of Uorer C.

For ex ample, If n storm coming from Si beria drifts eastward around tho North Pole and ronppcars In Alaska, It should appear In Washington and Oregon In about two days; should got to tho Great Lakes In six days and to the Atlantic coast In seven or olg1 1 days. Unexpected conditions mny delay storms or divert them from tho straight track Just aB a refrigerator car may ho thrown off Its schedule or be shipped by accident on a wrong road.
