That sounds vaguely familiar...

I obviously failed with my Permissions chapter. :-(

You have a few problems here:
1. The <permission> element needs to be in the application that is being
secured. In this case, it would be in the application implementing the
service, not the activity trying to use the service.
2. To protect a service with that permission, you use an
android:permission attribute in the <service> element:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/service-element.html
You do not use <uses-permission> in the service for the permission in
question to indicate what should be protected.
3. For your activity trying to access the protected service, your
<uses-permission> element needs to be a child of <manifest>:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-permission-element.html
You have the "mypermission" <uses-permission> as a child of
<application>, if I am reading your XML correctly.
4. Unless you significantly modified WeatherPlusService, it is not a
remote service, and therefore cannot be accessed by an outside
application. Remote services are covered in _The Busy Coder's Guide to
*Advanced* Android Development_, and I use different sample applications
there.
