The generally accepted theory that
a warm Summer follows cold Win
ter, and vice-versa, has been exam
ined by science with the aid of tenn
perature records made in the same
place, under the same conditions,
twice a day for forty years. Science
cannot find any rule on the subject,
and comes to the conclusion that no
estimate can be formed in regard to
the character of the coming season
merely by knowing the character OF
the past season of any greater value
than could begiven by mere guessing.
