WEATHER REPORTS
Sit,--Time was when a keen though ill-informed ititerest sent tie each mofting to tune in to the 7.15 weather situation, in the hope of obtaining some picture of the probable future happenings in Otago, and in particular in Dutiedin. While the novelty lasted, it was possible to sustain interest all through the south-westerly Odyssey which began with such recognisable landmarks as National Park-Taihape, and worked gradually in the general direction of the approaching weather to my own private area. But after the first week, it was no longer possible to follow this meteorological fugue. The toast, or my attetition, suffered, and I returned to earth, or air, to hear martial- strains making the best of whatever weather there was and had perforce, to do likewise. I do not of course propose that anything so radical as a ré-arrangement of the accepted ordér should be corisidered -as soon suggest that the habit of putting North at the top of the map be changed. All I should like to know ishow on earth did it start that wav?
