In Miss Keenan's closing remarks
fihd laid great stress on the need
of loyalty of the membans, claiming
t*iat jt would be almost entirely ow

time and place for all members to
express their ideas and vote
on all questions that may come up,
aud i* they do not take advantage
or that time and place, there Is
only one thing left for them to
do and that is to "forever hold
their peace."
At the conclusion of the regular

WILL KNOW WEATHER
A TEAK AHEAD
Professor Charles G. Abbot and
others 'who aTe working at the ob
servatory on Mc Wilson, near Pasa
dena, Oal., on the variability of
solar heat are confident, and think
they shall finally be able to fortell
climatic conditions. That is, will be
able to tell ahead of time whether
a season Is to be wet or dry, so
that farmers will know what to do
about their crops.
This statement was made recently
by A Howard Clark, curator and
editor of the Smithsonian Institu
tion a* Washington.
Professor Abbot, who is direct
or of the astro-physical observatory
of the Smithsonian Institution and
who gauged the variability of the
sun's heat, is very actlveiy at work
in this branch of astronomical re
search.
While at work on it a short time
ago. Professor Abbot went to Al
giers and there found that an ap
preciable change in the heat of the
sun was caused by dust in the at
mosphere Bent off by a voVaano In
Alaska.
The pyrhelometer, invented by
Professor Abbot, which te sent up
nine and ten miles Into the air by
moans of three balloons, and then,
by one of them bursting, brought
down to earth again and landed
safely, «s one of the most wonderful
instruments ever invented, and the
records thus gained are invaluable
in prosecuting this work on the
variability of the sun's heat.
