Popular Weather Signs.
From the London Globe.


Men OF science tell us in some case,
What are characterized old women.s
stories are practically correct; for in
stance, counting numbers from the
hshtning fash to the sound Of thunder
locates in miles the seat of the dis
turpance The approach of rain is
slgnaled. so say the observant country,
1olk IN many ways: The swifts and the
cat washes his face and the chaffinch
mas sad and plaintive note. the farm
yard goose runs about and shows general
restlessness the peacock utters frequent
cries; the woodpecker means or sighs:
the parrot chatters: the guinea fowl
perches: the frog remains silent: the toll
walks about; flowers have stronger
door. and many among them close up
Ihere are also other signs none the
less sure for prognosticating fine weather.
Inc plrds twitter: the redthroat sings
on the top of the highest trees the swal-
low nles into the clouds: the lark rises
from the ground and mounts into the air
singing. the cricket makes his cry heard.
the tree frog climbs the trees and the
MOWERS open. Finally. there are few
varied observations which will complete
these signs. An everla sting flower hung
on wall opens in fine weather and closes
when 1t will be rain. When the spider
leaves off working at its webb it is
sign of rain. If it continues or recon-
mences its weaving during the night it
is sign that the good weather will re-
turn. When rain begins to fall if the
hens do not hide themselves. but continue
to look for their food, 1T means that the
rain will not cease all day If they take
refuge at the first drop of rain it is a
sign that il will not last. When only one
magpie leaves its nest it is a sign of rain.
II the father and mother quit 1t together
1t is a sign of good weather.

NEED OF MOBILE ARMY.
10000 Troops Would Be Required,
Saws Gen. MURRAY.

The need of a larger force of the mobile
army was situation which particularly
impressed Brig. Gen. Arthur Murray.
chief of the Coast Artillery of the army
during his investigation of the coast de-
fenses in the Philippines and in Hawaii.
from which he has just returned to
Washington.
This was especially so. he said, at Ha-
wai. where there is line of eighty miles
to be defended, of which distance about
twenty miles comprises many places
where an enemy might easily land. 1t
is Gen. Murrays estimate that there
should be no less than 2oGUD mobile
troops to control the situation. which is
otherwise fully protected. or will be
when the coast defenses now under con-
struction are completed.

Bets are going down in San

Johnson in an effort to win back
the championship, in spite of Jeff's
frequent denials. He showed up in
a theatrical engagement there yes

and strong as ever.
1t also looks as II the big man

BY L. DEB. HANDlEY.

Much was achieved athletically
In this country during 1908, and
experts in every line are airing
their views concerning what they
believe to be the sensation of the
year.
Personally | consider nothing
more marvellous than the develop
ment of Perry McGillivray, a 10
year old Chicago boy, into a swim
mer of such caliber that only the
great Daniels, champion of the
world at the classic 100 yards, can
defeat him at the distance.
Pause to consider what this
means. No swimIne- has ever be-
fore attained anything approaching
championship form until he was II
or IS, and most fast men did not
reach top speed until they were
past 20 years. Daniels gave his
first inkling Of extreme speed at IS,
and even he could not do better
than l minute and 10 seconds for
the century; de Halmay was Il
when he made even time; Cavill
was 20: Healy 10. and Wickham 20.
But here comes a youngster who
does 60 s-5 seconds in race and
then establishes precedent by trav.

HUSKY AMERICAN LFE-SAVER SAYS u
HE SWAN ACROSS ENGLISH CHANNEL

Although many swimmers have
attempted to negotiate the storm
tossed strip of water known as the
English channel, but one man
Captain Webb-has c. ever been
given credit for accomplishing the
feat.
But another-an Irish-American
one Sam Mahoney of Revere
beach, Mass, life guardsman and
long distance swimmer, claims to
have accomplished the feat. Ma
honey, in the presence of friends,
swan from Sangatte, France, to
South Foreland, England, he says,
and he promises to duplicate it
next summer.
Mahoney declares he left San
gate at o'clock the morning of
September IL last year, wearing a
bathing suit lined with a thick
coating of prepared grease, that
acted as blanket and kept the
water from his chest, back and
abdomen, and retained the heat. 1t
was 4:30 the morning of the 18th
when he crawled from the water
on the English coast.
During the swim Mahoney took
advantage of the tides and swan
Al miles befort he left the water.
Although his swim was witnessed
by men on the tug that accom-
panied him, the performance has
not been accepted by our friend

the accuracy of the time. No less
an authority than Jamison Handy,
western all around swimming
champion, held the watch on the
boy in the trial. And had there
been no time taken, it would have
been easy to guess it was inside
even, for McGillivray beat the
Olympic team swimmer, Henry
Hebner, by four yards, and Heb
ner will do the hundred close to
60 seconds any time he is crowded.
1t is remarkable that McGillivray
possesses such speed. He is but
five feet five inches and weighs IS
pounds. He is indeed a natatorial
mystery.
When McGillivray reported to In.

he could not keep himself afioat
Sullivan taught him the crawl
stroke, and in less than six months
the little chap was doing SO yards
In 20 seconds and was a member

Sullivan attributes McGillivrays
progress to the fact that the boy
was not hindered by change OF

stuck TO 1t. If his theory is correci

Have you ever noticed how much
faster and harder a pitcher works,
especially If he is new at the game,
when he is getting his bumps?
Some youngsters seem to think
that in order to stop a batting rally
they are obliged to shut their eyes
and blaze every ball through.
1t seems they lose sight of the
fact that there ia something to the
pitching game besides speed.
The one great thing that a
pitcher must bear In mind Is that
the man at bat is as anxious to
make good as he is. ! know
catcher whose ability to kid" bat
tiers was recognized everywhere he
had ever worked, and his old croy
whenever a batter came to the
plate in a pinch was: Never mind,
fellows; nobody scared but the
hitter"
While this may not always hold,
It carries great death of truth.
and no matter how worried the
pitcher may feel at the sight of
good hitter, he can rest assured
that the batter is just as shaky.
