| Recently some farmers and other:
were discussing the question whethe
| all whirlwinds and cyclones rotate IL
| the same direction. All had noticed
| that WhirlWindS move in the same dl
rection the wind is blowing at the tims
| whether the rotary motion is uniform
| ~ in the opposite direction to thu
course of the sun. II. A. Beals
thought it possible that they al
whirl in the same direction. Some
one said If whirlwinds north O.
the equator all whirl III the OPPOSITE
! direction to the daily course OF TIN
| sun they must rotate from right tt
| lett and if those south of the equator
rotate opposite to the course of the SUI
they must whirl from left to right. j
D. Fair said it was new question u
HIM and although he had seen Severa
whirlwinds on the north side of tn
equator he had never observed one OF
the south side of that line. Severa
others asserted that their observation
conceded with j. DIS. This converse
ton shows that many intelligent me-
are not close observers of natural phe
nomena for of several aged men no
one was sure whether all whirlwind
on the north side of the equator wher
we have passed our whole lives rOtat
from right to left neither were the
sure of the contrary.
