The storm which the weather bureau predicted, and agalnut whtch the ship masters took such extensive precautions last week, never came after all, - and though atmospheric disturbances still continue, apprehensions of a destructive Kale have subsided. Persons who nacapuo . Uw ifpolklllf i, en tilH,lwt visit arc iiving around gabbling that "Old Pague" was wrong, as fosuat' k ' '. ..''' y , They should read lw paper on Meteor (i!os;y which wis read before the Amrl can Association for the advancement of , science at Its lust meeting by Willis L. Mcore, the new chief of the United States .veathor bureau. No man in the country knows as much about meteorology as lie; yet he says: "It is painfully patent that we are extremely Ignorant of the mech anism of storms, and of the operations of those vast and subtle forces in free air which give Inception to a storm and which supply the energy necessary to accelerate cyclonic action when' formed, or to disperse the same when fully in operation." v. What we do know may be summed up In a few words. In storms Immense masxes of air gyrate about a vertical or nearly vertlcnf axis, drifting eastward, and at the same time drawing in warm easterly currents at the front and cold westerly currents at the rear. As these currents meet in the upper regions of the atmosphore they generally, but not ul ways, cause a precipitation of rain or snow. But, on the other hand, heavy uuwufuuii ul lam ui lull uuuur wimuui any cyclonic circulation, nnd In the Itocky mountain region condensation more frequently occurs in the westerly portion of tha Btorm area, where the cold north and west winds are (lowing in, than In the warmer easterly currents flowing toward the storm conter. Thus a comprehensive survey of the current theories of meteorology leuds to the con' elusion that we have thus far only scratched the surface of the science, and that our forecasts of the weather, how ever skillfully made, are nothing but guesses, which are almost as likely to be erroneous as to be correct. Still, It is something to know that the drift of tho air on this continent Is gen erally from west to east. That 1b prob ably the case all over the world, but the statistics of storms are too Imperfect to decide positively that It is. On the other hand, though our continental storms east of the Rockies almost Invariably travel from west to east, like our storms on this coast, the prevailing wind during a storm is not always or even oftenest In the same direction as the storm. The fow destructive storms which occur on this part of the coast come from the ocean i but they are quite frequently heralded by a southerly or southeasterly wind. So the storms which occur In New York have traveled from Dakota and reach the Atlanlo coast by way of the lakes and the Middle states; but the gales which blow simultaneously and are so destructive to shipping quite as often blow from the east as from the west. "Speaker Reed has called at the White House to pay his respects to the Presi dent." Waxhlngton special. "Speaker Reed cannot have very great respect for a president whose name he never mentions without an accompanying sneer or a characteristic bit of sarcasm." Portland Telegram. It is within the common law of the courtesy that prevails among publlo men of this great country to treat with polite consideration In personal matters the president of tho United Btates. Tho pres ident Is not understood to approve the member of congress he Invites to dinner, and the member calls at the White House to pay his respeots. If any excuse Is culled for by those who do not under stand It, the fact that the chief magis tral" and the member feel themsidves pans of a vast system and respect each other's positions la sufficient. Trench statistics covering many yours show that about one-quarter of all the suicides reported were of persons 60 years old or over, and that the mule suicides outnumber the rental.- by nearly four to one. Some form of Insanity Is stated. to be the usual cause for suicide by the old. This suKgests the question If the form of Insanity In tlietie cases Is not of ten that of utter discouragement and despair. The old mun who has savtd lit tle In his earlier days Is apt to fvel him self an unwelcome member of a family after he has ceased to be able to cam, or U rated by the employing cluss as having ,asl the au r.-Tie It Is profit al.. to pay him wanes. The old man who sufiYr from disease knows there Is for him little hopes of a cure, as com pared with the prospect of recovery for youth, and the npnl man who loses his capital In competition with tho younger element In tnislm-so life, under partially ii. -.r renditions.

It also seems posslblo that the lesser frequency of suicide amonj old Women might be explained by the fact that On the average they are more useful in the family circle than is tho poor old man. The announcement is made, with, flar ing headlines, that the free sllverltes are secretly organizing a new political party. I There is nothing new In this. The thing was resolved on long ago. It is now I many months since the cranks agreed j among themselves to work for "free all- j ver at the ratio of 10 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth," to make that their great issue, and to get up a national convention next summer If that be deemed advlsanle. There Is not even anything new In the bald He now told that these followers of Coin's financial fool have for their sole object "the restoration of the bimetallic standard." They want the debased silver standard, sliver monometallism, not bi metallism. The present phase of the movement Is undertaken by a man who has' sunk back into merited obscurity after a short-lived notoriety, during which he managed to accumulate considerable money by one of the worst fakes that ever were sprung upon the American peo pie. He Is trying to get before the Amcr lean public again, and probably will be Intensely disgusted at the discovery that he has outlived his prominence in a bad cause. A petition Is now In circulation and Is being numerously signed for a daily mall service from this city to .Olney. The pro. posed Innovation Is one that should cer taifily be made with the least possible do- loy. Nu less than 322 people receive mall In Olney and It Ts doubtful If there Is another vicinity with such a surrounding population In either Western Oregon or California that does not receive the ad vantage of a daily mall. The petition should be signed by everybody to whom It Is presented, for the service Is a very necessary one. Mr. Richard Harry announced his Inten tion yesterday of demanding a recount of the vote at the city election, but it Is extremely doubtful whether the mat ter will be pushed . Unfortunately for Mr, Harry the state constitution provides that no city, county or state official can hold more than one sularled ofllcs In elth er city, county or stnte affairs. Is there no ordinary, every-day rhetoric clan aiiout the White House who can hint to Mr. Cleveland that Us persistent use of the split Infinite In dignified slate papers, such as messages to congress, Is bad form 7 "To especially characterize and "to honestly fulfl!l,"ccurrlng In cr.e sentence, have a tendency to confer on the reader u feeling of weariness.

Family discipline is still maintained In some American families, as, of course, It ought to be In all. A small ooy got a sliver In his foot, and his mother ex pressed her Intention of putting a poultice on the wound. The boy, with the natural foolishness which Is bound up in the heart of a child, objocted to the proposed remedy. "I won't have any poultice!" he do clnred. "Yes, you will," said both mother and grandmother, firmly. The majority was two against him, and at bed time the poultice was ready. Tho patient was not ready. On the contrary, he resisted so stoutly that a switch was brought Into requisition. It was arranged that the grandmother should apply the poultice, while the mother, with uplifted stick, was to tand at the bedside. Tho boy was told that If "he opened his mouth" he would re oelve something that would keep him quiet. Tim hot poultice touched his foot nnd he opened his mouth. "You" he began. "Keep Btlll!" nald his mother, shaking her stick, while his grandmother applied the poultlco. Again the little follow opined his mouth. Tho uplifted switch awed him Into silence. In a minute more the poultice was firm ly In place, and the hny tucked In bed. "There, now," said his mother, "the old diver will ho drawn out and-lCddlo's foot will be all well." The mother and grandmother were moving triumphantly away, when a shrill voice piped from under the bedclothes. "lou've put It on the wrong ,'oot." The U. S.
