the

Red at n'ght the sajlor’s delight.
When

‘Twill not be man;%ours

When the seagulls

Know ye

Means

When

‘Twillclear

The following rules,
which
may
prove
a first aid
to amateur
forecasiers,
were
taken
fromn the New York Sun.

is
unobstructed
from

!
quarters,
if the sky

day,
and
very
often
it is the indication
of a three
days
rain.
When
it
18 raining
and
it brightens
and darkens alternately you
can count
on
an all-duy rain, with a ehance
of ciearing
at sundown.
|
When
ths
rain
ceases
and ihe clouds
are
still
massed
in heavy
blankets
one
|
sure
sign
of clear
weather
is the patch
of biue sky
that
shows through
the rift
|
large enongh
to make
a pair o’ “'sailor’s
|
breeches.’’
Another sign of ¢ontinued rain
is when
the smoke from the chimney
hovers
low
around
the
housetops.
When
it ascends
siraight into the air this indicates clearing
weather.
;
.
i
A foggy
wmorsing
is usually
the
jore-
runner of a clear
afternoon.
'
A thunderstorm
in winter
(usvally
in
January
or February)
is always followed |
by
clear,
cold
weather.
It
is
not,
as
many think, th? breaking
up of winter.

is ‘‘brewing’’ when the air is salty
caused
by
the
wind
blowing
from
the
east.
|
A red
or copper-colored
sun
or
moon
|
indicates
great
heat.
A silvery
moon |
denotes
clear,
cool
weather.

old
