is equally as popular; neither OF them,
however, "amount to q row Of pins"
when you come to cipher them down
properly. Everybody has some favorite
notion or prosuos,ical hobby in regard
TO future weather, and if they happen
10 prove wrong in their predictions they
~philosophically console themselves by
saving that ait was never known to fail
before" Some say that u dry summer
is sure TO be followed by u wet winter,
yet ii such were the case, California
and Nevada should invariably be favored
with wetter winters than any other
countries we know of. Everybody "
few weeks ago predicted al ''open win

the case. They strongly contenoea 'nat
two we, winters in succession could MOI
happen, that was an atrocity not TO DC

we think this one takes the lead. IL we
remember right, the worst weather OF
las, winter came after this time. Con-
found e~verybody's ''signs," and the
devil take all such ''opeu winters as
this. The best, safestand most reliaoie
irn. of coming storm that we know OF,
are when the wind has been Glowing
strongly from the southwest for about
three DAYS, when, il it modcrates down,
and they sky is ,hickly overcast with
heavy black clouds, and it begins to
sprinkle, YOU may expect rain. II lew
flakes Of snow begin to fall, look out
for n snow storm. IL the wind breezes
up again steady from the southwest
after il begins to rain and snow, tue
chances are pretty safe for n prolonged
and heavy snew storm like the one OF
the past few weeks. Any one betting
on any signs other thaa those we have
ius, set forth, are fully as sure to lose
as they are to win. That's so.
