G. Abbot, aisiitant 'acreturj of the Smithsonian Inati (tition and director of its astropbjr t cti ol.tervatory, to determine the xtct extent to which weather de ; iim1s upon aolar changes. The sun's heat, Dr. Abbot belierei, rerne the earth'a temperature and rainfall, and a change in it mnt mod ify tliene. The afttropbynical observ atory began with the problem in 3.M)2, commencing to obaerre solar radia tion, in Washington but the impure -atmosphere here necessitates its re moval. The institution now maintains observing stations at Mount Ilarqua Hala; inArirona, which has been con tinuously occupied since October liKJO, and on Mount Montezuma, nearly 10,000 feet high and about 12 miles from Calami, in the nitrate desert of (Chile. ' Two Stations Needed ( Two additional first-rate stations are desirable. Dr. Abbot believes, at well .separated points in aloud less regions, where winter observations might be more favorable. Due to lack of funds at the present time, the Smithsonian Institution is unable tri undertake this program. Before selecting sites for the proposed new ojar observing statlops, Dr. Abbot thinks $5,000 would be needed to make a preliminary survey. For each new station it would require from $10,000 to $15,000 for original instillation, and from $8,000 to $12, 000 annually for continuous operation, depending on location. Pointing out that during the pait two and a half years, on the whole, the solar heat appears to have been continuously below normal, Dr. Abbot ah id tha,t of late months the tend ency to' rise has become apparent, o that It seems likely that higher Ttluej soon will prevail again. Forecasts Aoeurate " During the pant year the institu tion has received from its Arizona and Chile stations each day a report of solar observations of the day pre ceding, i These have been made the hi si of forecssta for the tempera- . inn of New York City for aeveral days in advance. Mathematical meth od Dr. Abbot said, show that these forecasts "indicate some degree of real provision, based on the solar observation, even to five days in ad vance."'

The highways and rail roads now building practically assure Kugene of access to limitless re sources for ages to come. It is now up to our people to reach out. for these natural resources and put them into human service. I believe our city officials whose duty it is to study the needs of the city know what they are doing when they ask for additional bond money and that the city will have a health growth that will justify the expen ditures.
