As the weather map is made up in Washington ea;h morning at 8 o'clock and the message* will be eent out at once to thia point, as they are to all other points within range of the Wash? ington station, Rappahannock boatmen will have the great advantage of seein : displayed at Weems each morning sig? nal flags indicating the character of the weather for the day. To all watermen this will be a great boon, for while the Bureau makes no claim to infallibility. yet at least 75 per cent of all the pre dictions turn out substantially corract, and can be relied on as a safe guide. The service is rendered free to th*: Weems station by the telephone corn i>anv. A circle on a white nag means clear; ajeircle. haif dark, means partly cloudy; | a black apot on the flag means cloudy; the letter R meana rain; S atanda for snow; acircle with a black mark to thw left means storm coming; CW meana coid wave.
