During the week, Mr. Claxton was honoured with a handsome address from the mem- Observa- bera of the staff of the

Mr. Claxton has lived a life- time in an atmosphere of isobars, weather maps and Beaufort scales. As a youth ho joined the world famed observatory at Greenwich and six years later went to Mauri- ilus as Assistant Director of the Royal Alfred Observatory,, Later he became Director and in addi- tlon was Secretary of the Meteoro- Jogical Society, a member of the Board of Directors und Secretary of the Maurition Institute Museum and a member of the com- mittee of Primary Education.

Mr. Claxton is n great advocate of seismology not only for its local interest, but also for co-operating in international investigation.
During the past years the advent of wireless telegraphy has aided Mr. Claxton's work in plotting the positions of the various weatheri eystems. When he first took over there were no reports from the North, weather over Korea was an unknown quantity and all the Yangtaze district was doubtful. Wireless brought a daily synopsis from the Director of the Sleeawel Observatory and from even further afeld than that. But mistakes
