The only station of the Signal Service whose direction is 
nearly south from Pike’s Peak is Santa Fé have examin 
these observations to see what was the direction of the wind on 
Pike’s Peak at the time of low barometer at Santa Fé. The 
following table shows all the cases in which there was a consid: 
erable depress ession at Santa Fé during the period of the pub- 
lished observations at Pike’s Peak. lumn second shows the 
date of the minimum; column third shows the lowest observa- 
tion of the barometer: column fourth shows the direction and 
force of the wind at Santa Fé; column fifth shows the direction 
at the time of the last preceding observation; and column 
seventh shows the position of the center of the nearest low area 
as shown by the observations.
