Birds. as inhabitants Of the air, were
naturally chosen by the ancients az
oracles and augurs of future happen
ings. The sensitiveness to atmos-
pheric changes shown by many oirds
aided In establishing these notions.
The real indications often furnished Dy
sea birds of coming storm or calm
were doubtless magnified by the anx-
ious. superstitious sailor. These indi-
cations, be 1t explained. seldom pre-
cede the atmospheric changes more
than a few hours.
The custom of hanging the sea swai'

wind arose from the old-time custom
of suspending the bird by the feet
expecting it would renew its feathers
as If alive.
