The seventh report of the meteorological service of the Dominion of Canada by or. T. Kingston superintend ent addressed to the Hon. The minister of Marine and fisheries has just reached us in the Ordinary Blue Book form. The objects of the meteorological service Are two fold As follows 1. The collection of meteorological statistics including the statistics of and their arrange ment in forms adapted for the discussion of sundry physical questions the com of materials collected in a series of years and the deduction therefrom of the climatic character of different parts of the Dominion and a furtherance of the knowledge of the facts and Princi Ples generally and of Ca Nadia i climatology in particular. 2. The practical utilization of the facts and principles thus acquired especially for the prognostication of the weather. We learn from 1 Rof. Kings ton s report that the observations have been going on As in previous years and the interest in the work is gradually increasing. The Fol lowing changes and additions have been made to the stations in the North West territories corresponding with the head office at Toronto through the co opera Tion of col. Mcleod chief commissioner of the mounted police new instruments have been forwarded to replace those damaged in transit and some additional ones for new stations. Be Portu Are now received from the following stations under his command fort Saskatchewan fort Walsh. Fort Mcleod fort Calgary. Swan River Barracks Battleford Quap Pelle and Shoal col. Richardson has also succeeded in getting observations taken at Livingstone. In Manitoba or. A. C. O Bierne has commenced a series of observations at Poplar Heights baie St. Paul. Instruments have also been furnished to the Warden of the Penitentiary in this pro Vince. In contiguous territory we find that or. 3. R. Jason of Moose fort at the Mouth of Moose River on James Bay Lias been supplied with a full set of instruments direct from England and Lias commenced a series of observations. Instruments were furnished to to. H. Fur Longe d.l.s., with which to commence observations at Prince Arthur s Landing. The observations since the establish ment of the s tation have been regularly taken by p. Cooke the agent of the Canada Pacific Telegraph. It is pro posed As soon As telegraphic communication is established to have the reports sent to Toronto three times a Day. This would Supply a Long Felt want As reports from this part Are very much needed. The classes of the stations in connection with the let ecological service and the number of each class is As follows there Are ten chief stations where record of the state of the principal elements is kept either by a continuous automatic process or by observations taken night and Day at equal intervals not exceed ing three hours. There Are fourteen Telegraph stations in All where observations Are recorded and reported by Telegraph to Toronto three times a Day at 7.25 4.25 and 10.50 p.m., Toronto mean time. There Are four Reserve Tele graph stations where the observations Are the same As at Telegraph stations but Are Only reported by mail. The term Ordinary stations is applied to All observing stations not included in the three kinds above named. There Are upwards of 100 of these which Are subdivided As follows class i., stations at which observations of All the Ordinary elements Are made at least three times a Day. Class ii., stations where records arc kept of the temperature the direction and velocity of the wind the amount of rain and Snow and the Gener Al state of the. Weather with notices of miscellaneous Phenomena the observations being made two or three times each Day., class Iii-., stations where records Are kept of the amount of rain and Snow with notices of miscellaneous Phenomena. Then the cautionary storm signal stations of which there Are thirty nine Are places to which warnings of the probable approach of storms Are sent on receipt of which the agent in charge hoists a storm signal and posts a notice stating that a storm May be expected and what places Are warned. There Are at present ninety five places in the Dominion where an agent is appointed to receive the daily prob Abili these Are transmitted by Tele from the Central office at 10 . Daily and Are posted up by the agent at the Post office As Well As at the Tele graph office. At the majority of these stations the agent sends reports to the Central office of the actual weather which occurs. The data on which of the weather Are based Are received by Tele graph three times a Day from certain stations in the Dominion and the United states. Hie times at which these observations Are taken Are ., p.m., and p.m., Toronto mean time. The information contained in the reports consists of the following the Reading of the barometer reduced to a Ture of 32 fahrenheit and to sea level despatched to the various cautionary storm signal stations throughout the do minion also on the receipt of a storm warning from Washington the warning is forwarded or not at the discretion of the head office. The importance of issuing the warnings As promptly As Possi ble is Laid great stress on. Out of 510 warnings which were verified 483 were issued infill time to give notice of a storm s approach. In Only a few in stances owing to delay in telegraphic transmission did they arrive after the commencement of the storm. At Twenty seven places the storm had begun be fore the warning was issued from Toron to but in seventeen of these oases the storm continued to increase in violence after the warning was forwarded. The reports received show that nine storms occurred for which no warning was issued. Five of these were purely local and four More general. The percentage in the St. Lawrence and Ocean districts is Low owing to Lack of sufficient stations from which telegraphic reports Are received which accounts for less Success in that District professor Kingston states that additional stations Are required for the bet Ter working of the system in order to increase the accuracy of the storm warn Ings. He mentions that he has received an application from Winnipeg for the establishment of a cautionary storm signal station in. Order to give warning of the probable approach of those terrible blizzards which sweep Over the Prairies in the whiter and cause so much destruction to life and property. It is urged that were such a station established Many lives might be saved As people would not venture on a journey across the Prairies if timely notice were Given of an approaching storm. In order How Ever to accomplish this desirable object he says it would be necessary to establish one or More Telegraph report ing stations on the line of the Canadian Pacific railway or at other places in telegraphic communication with Winni Peg. During the fifteen months preceding the Date of the report a synopsis of the weather in the preceding 24 hours and Tho probabilities for the next 24 hours have been issued at 10 ., daily from the Central office and been forwarded by the Telegraph companies for Publica Tion in the evening editions of the various papers in Ontario and Quebec. The total number of predictions issued was 3.372 of these 78.9 per cent were verified in every particular and 92.5 percent verified either wholly or in part. In August 1877, the probabilities were first issued for the maritime provinces. They were not however published there until december. Considering the scan tines of the data on which the predictions were based the results were very Satis factory.
