TRAILING THE WEATHER
Mr. Hammon Is Getting After
the Storm Secrets of the
Pacific.
A METEOROLOGICAL ADVANCF.
Observations From the Ocean, Asia
and Alaska That May Reveal
the Unknown.
Forecast Official W. H. Hammon, who
has charee 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 Pacific 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 made,
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
Islands, get for his own use meteorological
reports from Japan and other Western Pa
cific countries which are now sent to
Washington for burial, and to get from the
hydrographic stations here and at Port
land and Port Townsend the daily reports
of weather at sea, which that service is
getting coast and deep-water captains to
send in in steadily increasing numbers.
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 abie 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 hereafter stop here and be forwarded
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 inches on a
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 secured from the hydrographic
service for the weather service here, and*
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 Fechteier
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
so. From twelve to fifteen a week are re- I
ceived, some being turned in by returning
captains and some coming from ports all
over the world. Coasting masters, to whom
the work is of the greatest value, do not as
a rule 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 be as in
telligently 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 year late, it will be registered
in/tables and on cnarts, 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
graphic rpports.
If 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
one can tell "whence it comes."
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 Pacific Coast weather, but that is
only a imicm*
When a •>... -m strikes the Pacific Coast,
nearly alv. \. between California and
1»;>1> t Brli (Columbia, that is the first
heard of it, and a forecaster has often 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 oq 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 pur storms start, there are many
particular ones waiting 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 total Temperature
To-Day, but Wanner In the

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 begins to
cool down here the temperature in the in
terior of the State will rise, and there will
probably be a warm spell throughout Cali
fornia 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. In a 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

THE HAWTHORNE SOCIETY
Pleasant Entertainment Given
by the Literary Organi
zation.
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
teiltjr 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
tory remarks to the lecture of the evening
ana introduce the lecturer, for it turned
out that Mr. .Shortridge recognized in Pro
fessor Kennedy his old 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 migtit be guided to cer
tain wealth. Yet he thought all could be
successful if all would learn early the les
sons of self-help, helping others, applica
tion to their tasks, fearlessness, honesty of
purpose and a determined resolve to get
on.

ALLEGORY IN PICTURES.
A Fashionable Entertainment
to Be Given by Local
Society.
FAIR BREATHING STATUES.
Young Ladies Will Pose for the
Benefit of the Girls' Ex
change.
The entertainment to be given in the
Maple room of the Palace Hotel, on May
lti, for the benefit of the Girls' Exchange,
promises to be the social event of the sea-
son. The ultra fashionable will be there in
force. In fact, it is a question with the
management whether Maple room will
accommodate all who desire to see young
society buds posing in a 6x12 frame, in what
those in charge of the affair are pleased to
term "allegorical pictures."
Miss Withrow, who has direct control of
the entertainment, is very busy arrang
ing the groups for the allegories and
imageries, which promise to be a revela
tion in their way, and is happy in the
possession of beautiful faces and figures
from which to make her selections for the
different tableaux.
There will be the large-eyed girl with
golden hair, the girl with dark hair and

vance the Cause.

light eyes, and the girl with the pleasing
mistakabie hair, called auburn. Miss
Hooper is tall and statuesque, suggestive
of all that is American, while little Miss
Marjorie Gibbons and the dark-eyed Span-
I ish beauty, Miss Gonzales, remind one of
! something Parisian.
For the tableau of the "Months" all
sorts of beauties will be seen. Miss Marsh
would make a very pretty June, while
Miss Moody would pose equally well as
uncertain coquettish April. Summer,
Autumn and Winter would find charming
impersonators in Miss Goodwin, Miss
Castle, Miss Stubbs or Miss Champlan.
While the tableaux have all lseen se
lected, the participants are not yet agreed
upon. In the "Graces" Miss Annie Shep
herd will appear as Faith, Miss May
Hooper as Hope and Miss Eda Moody
as Charity. A pretty tableau will be
sec>n in "The Fates," which will be repre
sented by Miss Marjorie Gibbons, Miss
Maud Morgan and Miss Gonzales.
Seven yonnp ladies will be seen in the
tableau* of the "Pleiades"— Miss Jolliffe,
Miss McMullin, Miss Champlan, Miss
Leacock, Miss Goodwin, Miss Bedel and
Miss Zane. 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 be
we 11 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 promises to be both gorgeous
and novel. In the tableau of "Spring"
green and white lights will be used, and
over "Summer" a pink glow will be
thrown. "Autumn" will be shown in red,
orange and purple, while cold, dreary
winter will be cast in a mantle of immacu
late white. The "Muses" will be in gold
and yellow.
Mrs. Frances Edgerton is lending her
valuable services to making a success of
the entertainment.
The tableaux will unquestionably be a
success and the Girls' Exchange will no
doubt receive an impetus that will go a
lone way toward making it a permanent
institution. Mrs. Touchard is manager of
the California Club and will personally
superintend the new organization. She is
manifesting not a little interest in the en
tertainment and is much gratified at the
way in which society has tftK£B hold of the
affair.
Dr. Price's Bating Powder was adjudged
highest honors at World's and gold medal

cussed before opening the meeting but lit
tle time was lost in selecting for president
H. J. Crocker; tirst vice-president, A. E.
Castle; second vice-president. Frank Dal

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 t»e learned.
It is proposed to divide up the work, so
that it 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 memoer will sub
mit a plan, in writing, upon the organiza
tion of the committees and the distribu

Sausalito.
A Merry Cruise of the Enclnals 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 Sansalito.
This opening promises to be the most
auspicious of the season. The grounds,
which are always kept in splendid condi

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 row boats
and launches will be made on the bay and
a tug will leave Mission-street wharf at 7
o'clock in the evening and returning will
leave Kausalito at 11 o'clock with the late
stayers.
This afternoon the Encinals will make
their first cruise. It is estimated that at
least a score of yachts will participate in
the trip ana a very tine time is anticipated.
The yachtsmen will be accompanied by
their wives and friends and to-night they
will anchor in San Mateo, where a big
dance will be given at the principal hotel.
To-morrow a number of teams will con
vey the party 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.

END OF SHARON'S TRUST.
It Will Expire In November and the
Management of the Estate Re-
Tert 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 timer'for
the meeting of F. W. Sharon, Prank 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 Lund and Improve
ment Company, which owns all the out
side property, such as that at Burlingame
and land in the San Joaquin Valley and
property in Nevada and Oregon. The end
ing of the trust means simply that the
shareholders in these two corporations
represented by F. W. Sharon, Frank New
lands and Lady Hesketh will have control,
and no material changes are anticipated
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.
Will Not Swap Churches.
Rev. Leslie \V. 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, is one 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. Tf, therefore, T had
desired or contemplated the proposed ex
change. 1 would not have made the proposition
to a member of the Emmanuel Church, but to
my own board of trustees. Without putting
more difficulties in the way of the Emmanuel
congregation, I think 1 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."
