MICHIGAN WEATHER SERVICE.
This service, cooperating with the U. S.

Weather Bureau in the accurate and rapid dissemination . of the weather forecasts and frost and cold wave warnings, and for publishing the weather conditions for the benefit of the agricultural, commercial and scientific in- terests of the state. The central office is located at Grand Rapids, with voluntary observation stations in nearly all counties of the state. Observations relative to temperature, precipitation, wind and cloudiness are taken daily and a monthly report furnished to the director at Grand Rapids for compilation and publication. The Service publishes weekly during the planting, growing and harvesting seasons a bulletin which gives in detail the weather conditions of the past seven days. The State furnishes the instruments and publishes the reports; the U. S. Weather Bureau furnishes all blanks, franked envelopes and the services of the director.
The forecasts and all frost and cold wave warnings are displayed in the lobbies of nearly every postoffice in the State. Through cooperation with the principal telephone companies most of the telephone exchanges in Michigan receive and distribute the daily

weather forecasts each morning. These forecasts may be had by any subscriber shortly after 10:00 a. m. by calling up "central" and asking for them. The forecast is the one issued from Chicago for lower Michigan (Lower Peninsula) about 9:00 a. m. and covers the probable conditions for the coming night and the next day.

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT.
The sixth judicial circuit of the United States comprises Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee.
One term of this court shall be held annually on the Tuesday after the first Monday of October, and adjourned sessions on the Tuesday after the first Monday of each other month in the year except August and September. At the July session no causes will be heard, except upon special order of the court.
A printed docket containing all cases docketed and not heard shall be made by the clerk for the October, January and April sessions.
All sessions of the court shall be held at Cincinnati unless otherwise specially ordered by the court.
The court, on the first day of each session, except the July session, will begin calling the cases for argument in the order in which they stand on the docket, and proceed from day to day during the session in the same way.
If the parties, or either of them, shall be ready when the case is called, the same will be heard, provided that the time within which to file briefs has expired.
But a case may be continued once by agreement of counsel in open court or by stipu- lation filed in the clerk's office to any session during the term. Subsequent continu- ances must be made by the court on motion for cause shown; and engagements of counsel in other courts will not be considered good cause for continuance.
Each day's calendar shall consist of the six cases next in order after the case last submitted on the previous day, but the calendar will not include any case continued or passed by the court or stipulation of counsel before the adjournment of court on the previous day. The calendar for each day shall be exhibited in the clerk's office at the adjournment of court on the previous day. Counsel choosing to rely on the judg- ment of the clerk as to the probable time of hearing of any case, otherwise than as shown in the day's calendar above provided for, must do so at their own risk.
Two or more cases involving the same question may by leave of the court or by its order be heard together, but they must be argued as one case.
For good cause shown, on motion of either party, the court may advance any cause upon the docket to be heard at any session, even though the time permitted under the rules for the filing of briefs may not have expired at the day set for the hearing. Such motion for the advancement of causes will be heard only upon five days' previous notice to opposing counsel.
