FISH DROPPED FROM CLOUDS
Originally Carried Aioft in Water.
spout 10 Simple Explanation
Of Occurrences.

On Friday last a number OF towns
people taking a walk on the slopes OF
Knockscalbert hill were surprised to
see on the grass near Summerhill a
large number of very small fishes,
varying in length from l 1-2 to 2
inches The fish appeared to be the
young of the herring.
In August, 1904. a shower of herring
fry was experienced at the head OF
Longrow, but there was no doubt as to
whence the miniature fish had come,
for they fell from above on the hats
and clothing of several men, and at
the time a small black cloud of re-
markabie density was directly over
head,
The phenomenon of fish falling from
the clouds is OF more common occur
renee than is generally supposed. 1t
is undoubtedly due to some small fry
OF fishes having been lifted from the
water and carried over dry land by
what is popularly known as a water
spout.
Many cases are reported from
abroad, and they are common in In
