Automatic Weather Machine Installed in Aleutians
An automated weather station, dubbed a robot weatherman, has been placed on Amehitka Island in the Aleutians to replace seven human observers. It collects standard data, transmits codes to Kodiak over 200 miles, and can run unattended for three months. The $25,000 unit lacks only ceiling and visibility measurements, which observers hope to infer from other data. Operated by the Air Weather Service, it is designed for expansion to other Arctic outposts.

Edward Oliva, head of the police narcotics squad, said thousands of narcotics arrests in five years yielded only 19 suspects under 18.
