THE WEATHER SIGNALS.
They are Displayed for the Benefit Of
Fruit Growers.

They are Displayed for the Benefit Of
Fruit Growers.
Through the efforts Of City Clerk
Jewett, Mr.. f. r. Domain, of Jack
sonvi lie, who has charge of the
Weather Bureau in that city, has fur
nished Ocala with set OF flag signals
and every day telegraphs the weather
indications, and through the kindness
Of Major Whiddon, these flags are dis
played from the flag pole Of the cupola
Of the Ocala House.
Now, unless the Interpretation of
these displays are understood of course
they will be OF no practical impor-
lance to the people. A card contain
ing the explanation of the flag signals
and the Interpretation of the displays
will be given to persons interested
which can be carried ia the vest pock-
ct and easily referred to. These dis.
plays are supposed TO announce the
state of the weather twenty-four
hours in advance, which will give veg
etabls growers ample time to cover up
and save their plants.
From the little card above referred
TO, for which we are indebted to City
Clerk JeWett, we copy the explanation
Of the flag signals and the interpreta-
tion of the displays:
Number one is white and indicates
fair weather; number two is blue and
indicates rain or snow; In this latitude
it indicates only rain; number three
is white and blue, white on top of
blue, and indicates local rains; num-
Der four is black and tri shape and
refers to temperature; number five is
white, with black square in center,
and indicates a cold wave.
The indication of these displays are
as follows:
No. /, alone, indicates fair weather,
stationary temperature.
No. 2, alone, indicates rain or snow,
stationary temperature.
No. 3, alone; indicates local rain,
stationary temperature.
No. l, with No. 4 above it, indicates
fair weather, warmer.
No. /, with No. below 1t, indicates
fair weather, colder.
No. 2, with No. above it, indicates
warmer weather, rain or snow.
No. 2, with No. 4 below it, indicates
colder weather, rain or snow.
No. 5, with No. above it, indicates
warmer weather with local rains.
No. 8, with No. below it, indicates
colder weather with local rains.
No. /, with No. below it, indicates
fair weather, cold wave.
No. 2, with No. below it, indicates
wet weather, cold wave.
These flags are also displayed on
moving trains and are accompanied
by whistle signals. The warning sig
nails, to attract attention, is long
blow, from fifteen to twenty seconds
duration. After this warming signal
has been sounded, long blasts from
four to six seconds duration) refer to
weather, and short blasts from one to
three seconds duration) refer to tenn
perature; those for weather to be
sounded first.

christmas at Fort King.

Christmas was very pleasantly OBJ
served in an evenings entertainment
at the house of Rev. T. Whittier.
The recitations and singing by Ad-
die Cappleman, Elinor Richardson,
Dannie Cappleman, Esther, Edna and
Clara Hull, Ruthie Whittier, Flora
Aldrich, Mabel Mead, Vincent Whit
tier, Mrs. Minnie Lomonic and Mrs.
Emma Cappleman, were of pleas
ing kind, and highly creditable to all
participants.
But, of course the climax of delight
came with the ending of the program,
in which the beautifully arrayed
Christmas tree was made to give up
Its secrets. The fruits of the tree were
of the most diverse kind and in great
abundance, for there seemed to be
something for every one, from the la
borer of the settlement up to the min
lister himself, who received o NEE
present.
Not only was Santa Claus there to
distribute his gifts, but, wonderful to
relate, his wife came with him to help
him give JOY to the little hearts. owe
have seen this same worthy couple in
everyday life going by the names OF
Gollicott and Baggett, like a "prince
and princess" in disguise, you know.
The evening as whole was very
satisfactory one to all concerned.
