Kaslly read and conveniently placod at tho front cntranco ot the build ing, tho passorby can readily consult tho Instrument and mako his own deduction ot weather changes likely to occur within tho next 12 to 24 hours. Tho readings, as Indicated by tho chart of tho "Cyclo-8tormo-graph," will also bo printed each evening In the Kvcnlng Herald, with tho announcement ot goncral weath er conditions and temperature. The new Instrument automatically writes on a chart a continuous rec ord' of changes In tho wolght of tho air. operating as a barometor or "wolght measurer," and notes them correctly both as to day and tlmo. Its Ingenious construction Is so sen sitive that It will Immediately show how much change thoro Is and, when tho "weight" changes happen. "weather" changes ot some kind wilt tako place. When tho weight decreases, tho weather will become warmer, It may become windy, and rain or snow, dopendont upon tho season, may full. Hy Its use cne can toll at a glance tho condition ot the air as regards Its wolght. see If the change tuklng placo Is n slow- or rapid ono, or It tho weight ot air Is being maintained. A forecast of tho averago weather probabilities can bo readily ' formulated. The charts, which are changod weekly, thus also furnish an accurate and consecutive record ot weather con ditions as indicated by barometric readings. A continuous "low" has prevailed all this week but this morning at 6 a, m. the pressuro began to riso rapidly, and at 11 a. m. was still rising. This Indicates clearing Weathor. and seems to foretell the ond ot the storm.

' icnaca inose ncld In Rend Instead L Inquiry this morning developed tho fact that tho regular Thursday nleht danca was hi,i in h u. hall last night, and that no attempt was made to prevent It by city of- tlclals. Tho city clerk's offlco explained NEW MANAGERS FOR MOOSE UAL tnat tho danco hall management had DU '- ' believed that Bonanza has been transferred to Messrs. Allen &' county seat aspirations. Mr. Ham Cochran, and that every precaution akcr "tates the petition is being was taken to conduct the dance In an orderly manner. Tho Mooso ball. as promised, will keep an eye upon tho placo and keep It beyond criti cism. Mat night, attendants were placed at tho doors, and no person who exhibited tho slightest' evidence of Intoxication or sover-exuberance was admitted. It Is understood tbst tho former management has been en tirely relieved of It responsibility In tho conduct ot the dances. Tbo prico of gaiollno Is not going to come down. Not now, at least. This is tho opinion of local distributors ot both tho Standard and Union oil companies, and from all that they can learn, will be no reduction made until freight rates are lowered. There Is a difference ot about 10 cents In the price ot oil in this city and In Sacramento, and investigation shows that tho farther north you go from Sacramento the more you havo to pay for gas. In tho east, gas has dropped ono cent a gallon, but apparently It's dif ferent In the golden west. Thero Is no evidence, whatsoever, at the dis posal ot local distributors, to justi fy them In prophesying oven a one cent drop. Thcso distributors also rotor to the "exasperating" gravity teat required by the stato ot Oregon, and say, they don't Intimate, that It Is one ot tho things thai.prevents auto owners and other gasoline users In this state from getting, less expensive gas. It Is notlcable that they say 'less expen sive," and not "cheaper" gas. Tho only Immediate relief offered Is tho oft repeated assortlon that Klamath Falls and vicinity Is liable to havo oil wells of their own some day, and In the meantime, auto own ers are advised to "wait and hope."

Chickens appear to be plentiful, and ducks and geeso will not be lacking. It will 'not be necessary to ship In any Thanks giving fowl of any kind. So far, so good, the dealers say, but the prico they must pay for tho supply Is another thing that must be taken Into consideration. Indi cations are that turkeys will prob ably bring as much as 60 cents a pound in tho retail market In order to give the dealers even a reason able profit, and there Is reason to beltero that an estimate of even 60 cents might be too low. Still, thero Is a brighter side to tho mattor, tor It has been Intimated that 55 cents might be the limit, but as one deal er said: "Wo aro going to ma'ke thn price as low as possible, but wo don't control the situation. So look, out for a fairly stiff price for holi day birds." Busy Day at the Rummage Sale This, tho first day ot tho Episco pal Guild rummage sale, has been a busy one for tbo ladles In chared.
