Several methods for evaluating the angle β between the magnetic moment and rotation axis of a pulsar are considered. Averaged values of this angle, estimated by different methods for 61 pulsars, decrease as the characteristic age increases. Many pulsars have small angles = 23°) and large ages ((log т) = 7.0), so the alignment of the magnetic and rotation axes must take place during the evolution of pulsars.
