Fish and insects are also looked upon
as weather forecasters, as many fisher
men have learned. There are many
sayings which have been collected by
the Weather Bureau. The following
are some Of these:
when fish bite readily and swim near
the surface. rain may be expected.
Fish bite more eagerly and sport

Not to be outdone by the Italians, the
Catalonians have planned an interna-

probably the opening Of this will be de-

It will mark the first pubic paIticipa-

Bird and Animal Rivals of Weather Sages

~ 1RDS and animals as weather fore
X casters have long been looked
- to by those who live close TO the
bosom Of mother earth and the
weather bureau headquarters has long
recognized their ability to foreten the
approach of storms and marked changes
In temperature. 1t was in reply TO dues-
tons in this connection that Local Fore
caster Marbury. of Atlanta. looked over
some of the records of the weather
bureau.
THAT birds and animals have some
instinct for learning the approach of
storms and sudden changes he said.
cannot be doubted. Just how they de-
termine this knowledge. or what facul-
ties are used in the making of these
forecasts still remain a mystery, but
there are many signs which usually. if
not invariably. hold good and so far as
authenticity is concerned are so far in
advance of some superstitions In con-
nection with the weather that they are
not to be mentioned in the same class.
Every man who was brought up on
farm has seen hogs running wild in
the woods stop their roofing and wal
lowine and for hours scurry around
with straw or leaves in their mouths. A
cold wave or drop in temperature al
ways follows close on the heels OF such
action. ard the next day is almost GER
tain 10 be one for wearing the warmest
of clothing. These hogs are simply coll
lecting material for making beds or sort
OF nests for themselves. where they can
remain warm and comfortable during
the change in temperature.
Another theory generally holds good
that when there are many nuts in the
fall on the trees and bushes. the win
ter Is very sure to be long and hard
one. 1t is at such a time that squir-
rels and other animals busy them
selves with collecting a much larger
store OF this sort of provender 20 sup
ply their wants for a longer period
than usual For this same reason.
farmers always look for a very hard
winter when these storehouses of nuts
made by the animals are exceptionally
large. When the supply is small, the
other kind, the mild, open winter is
very liable TO happen. This same the
ory holds good with regard to the num-
ber of wild berries II seems that ma
ture has way OF her own of protect
ing her children of the forest and plains
by letting them know what they must
prepare for.
The Washington times., 1906-04-08

Some OF the most common signs
which have been collected from all
parts of the country by the Weather
Bureau are the following: Good weather
may be expected when the cat washes
herself. but bad weather when she
licks against the grain or washes her
face over her ears or sits with her tail
to the fire.
when cattle go OUT to pasture and
lie down early in the day. early rain
may be expected.
''The Apache Indians say that when
cattle or sheep. huddle together as If
seeking shelter. a storm may be ex-
pected.
'The Juni Indians say that when
chimney swallows circle the air and
call, they speak Of rain
''One crow flying alone is a sign Of
foul weather, but if crows fly in pairs
expect fine weather.
{" If the wild geese gang out to sea,
Fine weather there will surely be.
When the peacock loudly bawls.

Guinea fowls squall more than usual
before rain.

when birds cease to sing, rain and

IF crows make much noise and ny

Robins Will perch on the topmost

THE stormy petrol is found to be a
sure token Of stormy weather, and
when these birds gather in numbers in
the wake of a vessel. the sailors feel
sure of an impending storm.
