Th*re are doubtless very few people in
Savannah who are aware of the fact that
the rork* t signals now In general use by
th** w* at her bureau for giving informa
tion of the approach of storms were orig
inated and suggested to the bureau hy a
Savannah man. Dr. 8t J H Graham is
the man. and the !)• a occurred to him
while he was in the service of ihe city as
quarantirc officer.
l)r Graham was at the quarantine sta
ll >n during the Morm of I*o3. and It will
l*e remembered did some heroic acts there
In saving the lives of several members of
a shipwrecked cr* w The telephone line
to the -tatl n was rendered useless by the
Htorm and then w - no m sn* of com
muniratlon except by I oat. the Tybee rall
rcd having been practically destroyed.
Th. l-i • Dr Goorge It. Btone. who took
a icr at deaf of interest in the develop
ne nt of carrier pigeons, had suggested to
Dr Graham the use of pigeons for such
emergencies, but the experiments In this
line had n*t proved entirely successful It
was Dr Htone's Idea that carrier pigeons
might l>e generally used by ihe weather
bureau for conveying Information of ap
proaching storms.
"It occurred to me " said Dr Graham,
when asked about the matter yesterday,
"that there ought to he some more Ter
rain and expeditious method of giving no
tice to p*ople on the plantations, and to
the shipping people In the harbor and at
•in near the coast of the approach of
sform* than those then In use, I u< cord
tngly wrote Mr I* 11. Smyth, who wa.
then in charge of t he weather bureau at
Hsvannah. suggesting the use of large
ro ket* to b** dls-harg<<i at night at regu
lar Intervals as a mean* of warning of
the approach of storms and that also a
s>atom of signal* might be devised by
which Ihe warning c >uld he taken up In
turn from station to station along the
coast.
Mr. BroythX who was one of the moM
efll* lent men who has aver served us here,
at twice sow the feasibility of th** sugges
tion and brought it to the atienlnn of the
head of the bureau. The weather bureau
wa then a branch of the department of
wHi n! some tiro* later I received a let
ter from the secretary thanking tne for
the suggestion and stating that It would
he given favorable con.-Nleration Shortly
after this the rocketa were put In use hy
the wuher bureau and have continued
to be U!-* | on occasion since."
The weather bureau has become more
expert, aided doubtless by more extensive
facilities. Ui getting early track of ap
proaching storms and outlining their prob
able course. In r*ctnt years, and the p o
