W K ANDREWS, Secretary WHY FORECASTS 00 WRONG People hereabouts who have tound reuou to complain lately about the inaccuracy of the official weather fore - casts will not be so severe in their criticisms after they read the state ment of forecaster Clarke.stationed at Scrautou, wfio keeps tabs on meteoro logical conditions for northeastern Pennsylvania Mr. Clarke's explanation was made in connection with a query from a newspaper as to why there has been no rain,so badly needed in these parts, causing farmers to grow uneasy. "The only explanation that I can givw ot tiie absence of rain," lie said, "is that storms don't come this way. Why they dou't no man can answer. All these storms that originate in the Gulf streams should come here. Tlier. is no doubt about that, but for som ■ unknown reason they won't. The normal course for tliesj -tinthern storms is to work their way up the valleys of the Blue Ridge mountains, which is in a direct line to tlx- north east, which course woulci bring tin m to this section. But they have been acting obstinately and make their way to sea instead." On the occasional mistake* of the weather bureau Mr, Clarke said ■ "if Ihe storms would only follow their normal courses the weather bureau would never make mistakes in its fore casts It is due to their obstinacy ami their persistence to ruu in abnormal oourses that caufes it to rain where the suu ought to be shining, ami t«. he clear where it ought to rain. When we get reports of a storm making its way across the country in a certain direction we assume that it is going to ttiike a certain town, and predict rain. But if it shies off its course and goes in another direction that isn't our fault We can see what it ought to do aud do our best to give the pult lie due notice, but with the elements acting in opposition to us we ate al most helpless. This is the only reason why we souietiiies err, and as we are not superhuman, people rather ought to overlook these little inaccuracies when they do occur, for to err is hu man, you know " The Salus-Grady Bill. Gov. Penuypacker has made a mis take that mars ail otherwise excellent record. He is, no doubt, sincere in bis belief that lie has done the right thing in approving the Salus -Grady bill. but men who are familiar with the ins and outs of newspaper making all have a different opinion. The hill is now law, if it can stand the te-t of the courts with its confused phraseo logy and the newspapers of the state will do the best they can to observe its provisions. At least ninety-nine hundredths of them are honest and law-abiding in spirit and conduct rather a larger proportion than among individuals— ami they may reason ably expect this will count in their favor when the courts construe the statutes. On this basis it will be ascertained in c«>ur-e of tim • whether the law is a proper one,as th« governor believes,or whether it i- an ini| ossihl thing, obstructive ot the disiemina tlon of proper knowledge for the pro teotion of society as a whole. That is the whole question involved Bheriff Has Some Fun.

On the occasion of any event ill Danville bringing out the firemen it lias always happened that the West End Company was a guest of the Good Will and similarly when ever there is anything going on in Shamokin that brings out the fire fighters the Good Will boys are always entertained by the We -1 End Company. Thus very intimate and friendly relations have grown up between the two companies, which is attested to by the invitation recorded above. The entertainment which the West End boys have in store for the Dau ville firemen are a picnic and a ball to lie held in Jenkins' Park.

In the road bill recently pass d by the Pennsylvania Legislature the Grunge won two important points. First. A state appropriation. Second. Tin- distribution of this appropriation to the local communities in propoition to the number of miles m the road therein. The first bill ever introduc ed iu the legislature mentioning a state appropriation was presented a- an amendment to the Hamilton lull, hv Hon. Louis Piollett,member of the Ex eeut ive Committee of tlie Pennsylvania State Grauge and then a member of the legislature. This tiistiibutiou of the money to the counties in propor tion to the number ot miles of road therein, was secured through the ac tive efforts of Hon. W. T. Creasy, a member of the St tie Grange legisla tive committee, assisted by Hon. S. R. Brunges, Hon. A. C. Barrett and worthy master,W. F. Kill. These men were heartily supported by 25,000 ac tive members of the order. Again demonstrating that in union then- is strength. I). B McWilliams, of Port Royal, Pa.,member of the finance committee, while out on Farmer's Institute work, had for one of his talks: "Education Through Organization." This subject as presented by him, is spoken of by those who heard him as presenting very strong and forcible arguments why faro ers should organize. He ap peals to reason and argues logically. Pomona aud subordinate granges want ing a speaker for private or public oc casions should correspond with him at Port Royal, Pa. The subordinate grange is a link in the great chain now stretching from ocean to ocean, binding hundreds of thousands of the men and women of the farm in a fraternal hotly and by sacred obligation to put forth every eflort to raise the standard of int. Ili gence among the tillers of the soil and secure a just distribution of the burd ens of society, us well as of the fruits of our labor. —O. Gardner. To Speak at Buckn<-ll Uoniniencemeiit.

Druckemiller, of Sunbury. The address of welcome was delivered by W. S. McLean, Esq., of this city, representing the Mayor. The response was made by Grand Orator F. B. Wickersham, of Harrishurg. Grand Regent Druckemiller has his headipiarters at the Hotel Sterling. Last night the Hotel Sterling was the Mecca for the delegates and their ladies, where the latter were tendered a reception front H to 10o'clock by the ladies of the local members in the grand iiarlor of the hotel. For this Oppenheini's orchestra was in attend auee and as the visitors arrived they were received in the well-appointed tooms, and a season of ir.troduction and general enjoyment was inaugurat ed. The great rotunda of the Sterl ing all this while was crowded by Un delegates and other guests, while the wine room adjoining the buffer was utilized for the receiving of credent ials and transacting the preparatory work for the opening of the conven tion at promptly !> o'clock this morn ing in the Memorial Hall building on South Main street. The reception was a seclusive affair, tin- beautiful gowns of the ladies mak ing a pretty picture, coupled with the graces of the wearers. The commit tees did their duties well, and what transpired last night was a fitting commencement of what is anticipated will be the most successful convention in the history of the order in this State. Although Grand Regent Drucke miller is nor seeking re-election there is considerable talk about the growth of the order during the term of his leadership and it is possible lie may succeed himself in office. Miiuy Places to rill. The new law forbidding officers and members of Boards of Managers of asy lums,hospitals and other State institu tions receiving State appropriations from selling supplies to such in-tiiu fions or acting as agent for th ■ sale of supplies will give Governor Penny packer several important appoint ments. The trustees of certain State institu tions have for years made a practic ■ of selling supplies to them, and rather than lose the profits which they are alleged to have made by t hose transact ions they will resign from the boards. The law imposes a line of not more than SSOO or one year's imprisonment, or both, at the discretion of the court, and certain trustees have already in dicated their willingness to resign as soon as the Governor has time to con sider the selection of their successors. The bill is far more reaching than many realized when ir was pa--ed by the legislature, as it applies to every institution in Pennsylvania receiving State aid. Harrishurg Telegraph.
