Bassett a Weather Prophet.
Mr.. E. B. Bassett, of Bassett g. Co.,
the enterprising dry goods men, has
made an arrangement with the Signal
Service Office by which the weather
flags are now displayed from tall
flagstaff erected over their business
house. Some years ago these flags
were displayed here, but the service
was dropped for lack of some one to
give it the proper attention to make
il valuable to the public. The pre-
dictions are made from scientific fore
casts "a hours in advance and tele-
graphed daily from the Signal Service
office. In furnishing this service at
their own expense and with much
trouble to themselves, Messrs. Bassett
& Co., have placed themselves in
position to merit the thanks of the
entire public and especially farmers
and others who will be directly bene-
fited by the information displayed.
For the convenience of the people we
here give the meaning Of the signals.
WHAT THE FLAGS MEAN.
There are four flags. The white
square indicates clear or fair weather.
The blue square indicates rain or
snow.
The white square with small
black square in the center is the cold
wave signal, for winter use.
The black triangle is the tempera-
ture flag. If placed dboue the square
flag il means higher temperature; if
below it, the reverse. If the tempera-
ture flag is not displayed with the
other signals it means that the tenn
perature will remain stationary or
that the change will not vary 5 de-
grees. The triangle is never display
ed except with the other flags. The
square flags are six feet each way and
the triangle six feet at base and six
feet in length.
