We have heard II intimated, now and
then, that tho HERALD is little cranky
ss to the weather. This Is simply a
yeri6cation OF the old saw that pro
phst Is not without honor save in his
own country. On a mere 1.-THE OF the
splendid weather outgiyings which have
characterized this journal during the
more than seven years in which the
present editor has controlled Its utter
ances, weather and other, we have hit
the salient features Of the seasons with
a presciencs which would have made the
fortunes of four and forty OF the ordi.
nary run Of the makers Of almanacs.
We still keep on in our serene career Of
infallibly indicating to the farmers what
is ahead for them. What matters ii to
as that lot Of fresh young yolsels, who
know nothing of the weather moods Of
this section, undertake TO belittle our
supreme knack Of forecasting the sea
sons. Those laugh best who laugh
last, according to the venerable ad-
age. Those who want to know
how to take Southern California, how
ever, would do well to keep careful
eye on the weather provisions Of the
HERALD. Away back In tho opening
days of September we announced that
the rainfall OF this year would be ut
least sixteen inches, and that 1t was lia.
ble to run up to thirty inches. We reit
crate this prediction now, not with in.-
creased confidence, because, knowing
our infallibility as TO all that concerns
the Weather Clerk, our confidence never
wavers. Away back in the old days, in
Pennsylvania, there was famous com
piler Of almanacs, who was really in
struggling stage Of his career--living
from hand to mouth, as it were. As the
time came for issuing his almnnac--it
was approaching mid summer his print
ers struck upon him. He was obliged to
hustle around for new hands. and the
annoyance had such an effect upon his
nerves that, to indicate his vexation, he
deliberately put down the 4th of July as
q very rainy day. For once it happened
to rain cats and dogs on that identical
Fourth Of July, in the latitude of Penn
sylvania, For oil time thereafter the
reputation of that almanac maker was
made. His sovereign prcscience as to
the weather was accepted as matter of
eourse--as thing settled during his
natural life. just see the difference be-
tween tweedledum and tweedledeel For
seven years, with only single break,
and that of only two days rs to the date
Of particular downpour, the HERALD
has been forecasting the rainfall in Los
Angeles county with inimitable precis-
ion, yet there are to-day people in this
community who regard us as little bet
ter than meteorological thimblerig.

tent. Calico, in all his misfortunes, had
the consolation of knowing that the earth
still moved. We, in this modern age, eau
console ourselves with the reflection that,
as respects the local precipitation, VIZ
can give the New York Heraid's con-
tineLtal bureau odds and beat it in the
accuracy of our weather outgivings.
