The arrow flies with the wind.

Isobars. solid lines. connect points of equal air pressure; isotherms. dotted lines. equal temperature. The. word high" means high barometric pressure and is usually accompanied by fair weather; low refers to low pres sure and is usually preceded and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains. Lows usually first appear on the Washington coast. When the pressure is high in the interior and low along the coast and the isobars extend north and south along the coast. rain is probable; but when the low Is inclosed with isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is i'm probable. With high" in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure falling to the Call fornia coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an nnnCslte result
