TO DECIDE THE WEATHER

WIN the Grounding See His shadow

VIII the Grounding See His shadow
Tomorrow?
WASHINGTON, d. c., FEB. -
Tomorrow is the day and date on
which the grounding will decide the
meteorological conditions for six
weeks to come, II rhe old superstI-
ton surrounding candlemas day are
to be accepted at their face value.
Uncle Sans weather sharps, however,
cast many and severe reflections on
the prophetic rival asserting that for
the last three years the grounding
has been all of in his prognostica-
tions.
There are many old rhymes and
traditions upon which weather proph-
estes have been based, but none are
more widely circulated than those re-
garding the second of February,
which in I'VE olden time was known
as Candlemas day and was celebrat-
ed with a special church service, to
which each worshipper contributed
candle.
"Candlemas Day, Candlemas Day,
Half our wood and half our hay"
Is well known coaplet which indi-
Gated to the ancient British yeoman
that the winter was half spent.
.'If Candlemas Day be fair and bright,
Winter will take another fight.
But II Candlemas Day bring cloud and
rain
Winter is gone and won't come
again"
is another version OF the same old
theory.
The introduction Of the grounding
into the traditions surrounding the
second OF February is an American
innovation, and is said to have orig
mated with the negro superstitions
of ole virginny."
According to their stories, the
grounding wakes up from a long
sleep and comes out on the second
day of February to see II the winter
is over. II the day Is clear and bright
so that the sun throws shadow on
the snow the grounding takes fright
and returns to his hole for six weeks
more. II It is cloudy day, however.
he remains out over night and as a
consequence warm weather commence
es Immediately and the farmers pre-
pare for an early spring.

OF these improvements will not place

son adyAnced by those favoring mu-

revenues will pay all interest on the

due, with a reduction In rates from
the present schedule. This, then,
leaves the question OF bonds for street
