Observations From the Ocean, Asla and Alaska That May Reveal the Unknown. Forecast Official W. H. Hammon, who has charge of the coast weather, is about to extend his observations all over the North Pacific Ocean and to China, Japan and Alaska, with the approval of Wash- ington authority. This will be an important step in the progress of the study of Pacific meteor- ology, and the whole Pacilic region pre- sents as inviting and as little worked a field to the meteorologist as it does to students of most other natural sciences. Pacific Coast weather is principally fade, except for the mixing, in big laboratories thousands of miles out in the deep, and so little is known yet about the exact pro- cesses and sources of materials that as far as a forecaster’s business is concerned it might as well be made by Neptune in mys- terious ocean caves. ‘What Mr. Hammon proposes to do now is to get a lot of voluntary observers at work in Alaska and along the Aleutian n the Webber murder at Sacramento. .F.

These sources will supply a great deal of valuable material, and with it and with future progress in observation more will be known about Pacific storms, and on this coast observers will be able to predict them with much greater certainty. Mr. Hammon has just received word that a lot of simple observer’s instruments which he asked for are en route from Washington, and now he will proceed to get some people up north to agree to use them and send their records here as often as chance allows. An observer is wanted at Unalaska and another on Attu or some other Aleutian island several hundred miles west where there is a white settle- ment. He hopes to get somebody at Fort Selkirk, on the Yukon, in the Northwest Territory, to do as much for science, and reports are wanted from the mouth of the Porcupine and some other places. The weather service has many voluntary ob- servers all over the United States, includ- ing California, and, while the reports vary with the devotion, sticktoitiveness and digestion of the observers, a majority are found quite regular, reliable and valuable. The official Japanese published reports will hereaiter stop here and be forwarded n firm of Hartter, | | one can tell “whence it comes. to Washington, as will those from the Philippine Islands among others. The monthly Hawaiian reports are received here now, and the one for April, by the way, showed a rainfall of 21 inchesona mountain within one period of twenty-four hours. The daily observations of mariners all over the ocean will be of first importance. Mr. Hammon requested that these re- Ports be segured ftom the hydrography service for the weather service here, an it will probably be done as there is noth- ing very bad about it, but it will take the slow turning of a lot of ponderous Wash- ington machinery before Mr. Hammon, up in the Mills building, can get at the weather reports of Lieutenant Fechteler down in the Merchants’ Exchange. There are 3000 voluntary weather-ob- servers on the Atlantic Ocean, the meteor- ology of which is well understood, and the monthly pilot charts of which are com- plete and of great value. A few Pacific captains have sent observations to the hy- drographic office here for years, but the data compiled remains very meager. A year or more ago special efforts to increase these reports were made, and now a repre- sentative of the hydrographic office sees the captain of every outgoing vessel, nearly all of whom accept little books of blank daily weather reports and promise to send them in. About one in five does s0. From twelve to fifteen a week are re- ceived, some being turned in by returning captains and some coming from ports al over the world. Coasting masters, to whom the work is of the greatest value, do not as arule appreciate it and can be got to do but little. From the compiled data as it has accumulated the hydrographic service has been for a year issuing a monthly pilot chart of the Pacific Ocean, showing among many other things the normal weather conditions at points five degrees apart, but it will be years before they can beas in- ently compiled as the Atlantic charts. None of all this new information which will be in the future come into the weather office here can of course be used in making daily forecasts. As fast as it comes in, some of it a ?eur 1ate, it will be registered instables and on charts, and will enable a meteorologist to study out how Pacific weather works. For instance, reports of a | storm en route here across the ocean may | come stringing in for months from land and sea, and finally the storm may be studied a year later as one on land is | studied the same day with the aid of tele- | gra 1 shic reports. lil a meteorologist is now asked anything about Pacific storms, the chances are he will say, *I don’t know.” All our storms come from the west, but with Pacific winds Job’s old taunt holds good, for no It is not known where the “highs'’ and “lows” that float in in constant succession come from. It is not known how or why they start. But two storms—which were Chinese typhoons over there—have ever been tracked across the ocean, and there is no great confidence about those. Prob- ably the typhoons of the China Sea, the warm Japanese current, the cold Arctic current coming down through Bering Straits and resulting changes in tempera- ture and density of the air out over the broad ocean, are among the things that govern Pae Coast weather, but that is only a gus When 4 m_strikes the Pacific Coast, nearly aly between California and Upper Brit Columbia, that is the first heard of it, and a forecaster hasoften to.use its edge to prophesy with. He can’t see all around and through it as weather ob- servers can storms in the East. If he knew more about Pacific storms in a scientific way he would often be able to judge what was going on at sea and what was going to happen, and so predict with greater accuracy what the next twenty- four hours would bring, not only on land but on the path of coasting vessels. The extension of systematic weather ob- servations into the whole region of the North Pacific Ocean will thus be of import- ance, practically as well as scientifically. Besides, the great problem of why, how and where our storms start, there are many particular ones wziting to be answered be- fore the philosophy of California’s weather can be given,and Mr. Hammon has an in- quiring mind. THE HOT WEATHER. Probably a Cooler Local Temperature To-Day, but Warmer in the Interior. While the common herd of humanity in San Francisco was sweltering yesterday in the streets and offices Weather Prophet Hammon sat in his cool apartments on the top of the Mills building and discussed temperature, high pressure and low pres- sure as complacently as though there was no such thing as heat on the outside. He said that there was a rising thermometer throughout the entire State. In San Fran- cisco yesterday it was about as hot as it would be during this spell unless it should be during the forenoon to-day. From all prospects it would be cooler this evening. At 2 o'clock yesterday the thermometer stood at 81 degrees in the shade. “For the first ten days in May,” said the official, ‘‘this has been the warmest weather in the knowledge of the weather prophet in this locality. When it be%ms to cool down here the temperature in the in- terior of the State will rise, and there will robably be a warm sEell throughout Cali- ornia for the next three days. As it is early in the season, I do not look for the heat to do great injury to vegetation, for the hot wave comes from the desert region across the mountains, and in passing over the snow district the atmosphere will gather considerable moisture in its pas- sage, besides modifying the temperature more than it would later in the year, when the snows are melted. Ina few localities the moisture in the pasture lands may be absorbed to the injury of the feed, but this will be comparatively light to what A Fashionable Entertainment to Be Given by Local Society.

The “Past, Present and Future” will, for the moment, be in_the hands of Miss Sarah Bancroft, Miss | Moody and Miss Stubbs. One of the pret- | tiest tableaux, designed by Miss Withrow, will be found in “The Winds”—fitful, un- certain winds—and it will no doubt well presented by Miss Stubbs, Miss Ida Gibbons, Miss Castle and Miss Baldwin. All the young ladies will appear in white against a white background. The colors will be shown by means of calcium and electric lights, and this feature of the en- tertainment gmmiues to be both gorgeous and novel.

Good Music, Remarks by Professor Kennedy, and a Lecture by C. M. Shortridge. The one hundred and twenty-first en- tertainment of the Hawthorne So- ciety at the Y. M. C. A. Audi- torium last evening was an enjoyable af- fair throughout. It began with several musical numbers that were well rendered and heartily encored and concluded with a lecture by Charles M. Shortridge on ‘‘How to Get On in the World.” “Rosebud Fair,” by Macy, was the intro- ductory number, given by the Knicker- bocker Male Quartet, with D. M. Law- rence as first tenor, R. P. Evans second tenor, D. B. Crane first bass, L. A. Larsen second bass. The second number was a violin solo, ‘‘Spanish Dance,”’ (Sarasate) by Henry Larsen. D. M. Lawrence sang a terior solo, *‘Salve Dimora,” from Gounod’s “Faust.” Miss Grace G. Murry was the accompanist. It was a fortuitous circumstance that Professor James G. Kennedy, principal of the Franklin Grammar School, should have been chosen to make the introduc- lorg’ remarks to the lecture of the evening and introduce the lecturer, for it turned out that Mr. Shortridge recognized in Pro- fessor Kennedy hisold teacher in the Nor- mal School at San Jose. Professor Kenne- dy’s remarks were well chosen and happily apposite to the occasion. Mr. Shortridge declined to discuss the question from what he called its “metallic” standpoint. No one could give a set rule whereby the youth might be guided to cer- tain wealth. Yet he thought all could be successful if all would learn early the les- sons of seli-help, helping others, applica- tion to their tasks, fearlessness, honesty of purpose and a determined resolve to get on. ———————— Do vou relish alum in your biscuit?

The newly elected executive committee of the Half-million Club met yesterday. There were present: I. W. Hellman Jr., H. E. Highton, J. D. Phelan, David Rich, Louis Sloss Jr., H. P. Sonntag, F. G. Voss, Alfred Bouvier, W. M. Bunker, A. E. Cas- tle and Hugh Craig. The absentees were: C. E. Bickford, H. J. Crocker, Frank Dal- ton and F. W. Sumner. Mr. Craig acted as temporary chairman and Mr. Bouvier as temporary secretary. The first busines was the election of officers, and as the mat- ter had evidently been pretty weil dis- cussed before opening the meeting but lit- tle time was lost in selecting for president H. J. Crocker; first vice-president, A. E. Castle; second vice-president. Frank Dal- ton; secretary, Alfred Bouvier, and treas- urer, I. W. Hellman. A long discussion followed as to the proper men to put upon the working com- mittees, but the meeting being executive the names mentioned could not be learned. 1t is proposed to divide up the work, so that 1t will be handled by committees upon interior development, municipal develop- ment, manufacturing interests and indus- trial matters of all kinds. It was strongly urged that all of these committees be not formed from the executive committee, but selected from the body of the Half-million Club. The matter was laid over until the next meeting, when each member will sub- mit a plan, in writing, upon the organiza- tion of the committees and the distribu- tion of the work. The executive committee considers the selection of working commit- tees a very important matter, and one that will have a great influence upon the use- fulness of the club. & e Dr. Price’s Baking Powder gives perfect satisfaction when combined in delicious pudding and dainty pie crust. —————————— OOMING BACK AGAIN, A.

ICATSMEN WILL DACE The Opening Day of the Pa- cific Yacht Club at Sausalito. | A Merry Cruise of the Encinals to San Mateo—Movements of the Yachts. The opening of the Pacific Yacht Club will be celebrated this afternoon and even- ing at the clubhouse in Sausalito. This opening promises to be the most auspicious of the season. The grounds, which are always kept in splendid condi- tion, are now looking their best. The air is heavy with the fragrance of roses and other sweet-smelling flowers, the grounas have been cleared from weeds, and with the promise of sunshine and summery weather the day will be one of the bright- | est ever enjoyed in the pretty clubhouse. | In the afternoon an orchestra will dis- course sweet music, and the gentler sex will be in attendance in numbers and colors. A number of yachts will ride at anchor in the cove and excursions in rowboats and launches will be made on the bay and a tug will leave Mission-street wharfat?7 | o’clock in the evening and returning will leave Sausalito at 11 o’clock with the late stayers. This afternoon the Encinals will make their first cruise. It is estimated that at least a seore of yachts will participate in the trip ana a very fine time is anticipated. The yachtsmen will be accompanied by their wives and friends and to-night they will anchor in San Mateo, where a bij dance will be given at the principal hotel. To-morrow a number of teams will con- vey the fflrty through the forests and hills | of San Mateo County. About 3 o’clock in | the afternoon sail will be hoisted and the | return for Alameda commenced. To-day will be an open day for the Cali- fornias, Corinthians and San Franciscos and the yachtsmen of the three clubs will plow the waters of the bay at their own sweet will. On next Saturday the San Franciscos will cruise to Mare Island, returning on the following day. | Every detail in the manufacture of Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is a guaran- tee of purity, quality and perfection. e ————— END OF SHARON'S TRUST. It Will Expire in November and the Management of the Estate Re- vert to the Heirs. There is to be an important meeting of the Sharon heirs in New York shortly. Manager John C. Kirkpatrick of the Palace Hotel leaves to-day to be there in timefor the meeting of F. W. Sharon, Frank New- lands and Lady Hesketh, who is coming over from England. It is likely that the question of the management of the estate, after the end of the trust created by the late Senator Sharon, will be settled. By the terms of the trust Frank Newlands and F. W. Sharon were appointed trustees. Sharon resigned some time ago and New- lands has been the sole trustee. About a year ago all the property was incorporated in two corporations—the Sharon Estate Company, which owns the San Francisco property, including the Palace and Grand hotels and the Wells, Fargo & Co.’s build- ing, and the Occidental Land and Improve- ment Company, which owns all the out- side property, such as that at Burlingame and Jand in_the San Joaquin Valley and roperty in Nevada and Oregon. The end- ing of the trust means simply that the shareholders in these two corporations represented by F. W. S8haron, Frank New- lands and Lady Hesketh will have control and no material changes are anticipate by the substitution of the shareholders for the trustee, as they are said to have all been in harmony. Lady Hesketh will—after the meeting, probably some time in July—come out to San Francisco on a visit. e — ‘Will Not Swap Churches. Rev. Leslie W. Sprague, pastor of the Second Unitarian Church, last night said. “The re- port that the Unitarians of the Second Church are willing to swap houses of worship with the Emmanuel congregation, isone of those rumors that have no foundation in fact. As pastor of the Second Unitarian Church, I wish to explain to my congregation and to the public that I nave never at any time suggested an exchange of the Second Church for the Emmanuel. More- over, I wish it understood that as a pastor I have no control of the church edifice, that matter resting entirely in the hands of the board of trustees, who are able to provide suitable accommodations. TIf, therefore, I had desired or contemplated the proposed ex- change, T would not have made the proposition to & member of the Emmanuel Church, but to my own board of trustees. Without puttin, more difficulties in the way of the Emmanuel congregation, I think I may say that while a larger edifice would be very acceptable to me and to the congregation of the Second Church, we do not desire to assume burdens before which an older and recognized evangelical church hesitates.”” e ————— Chinese Native Sons.
