“Prof. H. J. Cox, the weatherman who has been with his family

He will return to Beaver Island in about ten days and remain with
his family there ten days or two weeks. Last week Prof. Cox and
family and Rev. Father Zugelder had a two-day camping and fishing
trip at Lake Geneserat, near the head of the Island. While on
the Island, Prof. Cox settled the details of the proposed weather
station there. The station will be placed on the high ground near
the church and will be equipped with baragraph and instruments
recording wind velocity and weather. Rev. Father Zugelder will
be the official in charge. The commercial telephone office will
