Telegraph Wires Are Said to Be I'm

Telegraph Wires Are Said to Be I'M
failing Weather Prophets.
According to Dr. Eydam, a German
physician, there are no more reliable
weather prophets than telegraph wires
This novel discovery was made by him
in the following manner: AS he was
waiting for train at country station
he heard shrill sound, which was
made by the wind as it passed through
a network Of nearby wires. At once
the doctor remembered that he had fire.
quently heard similar sound either
Immediately before or after a storm
or heavy fall Of rain or snow, and it
naturally occurred to him to try and as
certain between the; sound and such
changes in the weather.
AS heavy shower of rail fell within
forty-eight hours after he had heard the
sound at the railroad station he con-
cluded that there was such a connec-
ton. and he then determined to investi-
gate the matter thoroughly. AS a re-
suit he. now maintains, first, that any
unusual disturbance in the telegram
wires is an fnfallible indication of bad
weather, and, second, that the nature of
the changes In the atmosphere NAV be
learned from the sound which the wind
makes when passing through the wires.
Thus deep sound, he says, which is
Of considerable or medium strength.
indicates that there will be sill ght show.
ers Of rain with moderate winds within
from thirty to forty-eight hours, and,
on the other hand, sharp, shrill sound
is the sure token of a heavy storm,
which will be accompanied by much
rain or snow.
