IT
Another delicate and expensive In
strument known as a Tycos "Cyclo-
Btormagrapu," or simplified weather
forecaster, has been added to tho
weather bureau equipment Installed
at Underwood's Pbsrmacy for tho
Information of tho general public.
Kaslly read and conveniently placod

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

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

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

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."

for Thanksgiving. Christmas and

cording to tho belief ot the leading
meat markets hero, thero are
enough toms and their paramours
In this district to meet the strong
est demand. Chickens appear to
be plentiful, and ducks and geeso
will not be lacking. It will 'not be
necessary to ship In any Thanks

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
