Smyrna Weather Prophets
Predict Many Shivers and
Plenty of Snow This Winter

SMYRNA, Del, Dec. 1.-THE local
weather prophets, who do not wish
their names used, have been inter
viewed and their representations
point to a severe winter. The veteran
prophet of this community, says: I'VE
will have a cold winter, and It will
net start late, either. / believe the
seasons are changing; that the sum-
mers are becoming shorter and cooler,
and the winters longer and more Sc
vere When did we experience so
cold a winter as last year? When was
a summer cooler than last? The
leaves of the trees colored and fell
early. This is an indication that the
winter will be cold. The apple crop
this year was earlier than usual You
can depend on nature at all times. An
other sign of a cold winter is the
fact that the weeds we're tall and
thick. Nature permits the weeds to
grow tall to make provisions for
birds and animals relying upon this
food"
Lots of Snow to Come.
The prognosticator from Duck
Creek says: "The coming winter will
be a cold one, but not as severe as
last year. II will begin about Xmas,
and there will be lots of snow. Janu-
airy will be a cold month";. Look for
a blizzard between February and 16
and feel assured that March will
bring with it severe zero weather"
Big PersimmOn Crop.
The prophet who resides at the
Landing says; MY great grandfather
used to say that when there was a big
crop of persimmons the Indians
would provide themselves with a good
supply of buffalo meat for they were
sure Of a long and severe winter. The
persimmon crop is a prolific one this
year and we can look for hard win
ter"
Ray of Hope From FIemings.
The Flemings Landing prophet
sends a ray of hope: "A dry summer
is invariably followed by a winter
with lots Of snow. This year the rain
fall exceeded the average, and ] pre-
dict that there will be little snow and
that the winter will be very mild. A
wet fall means a mild winter"
ShiVers From Bombay Hook.
The old reliable prognosticator
from the Isle Of Bombay Hook gives
little hope to the fellow with a small
coal pile and a still smaller bank ac-
count: "The muskrats began build
ing early; the cOrnhusks are thick,
with stalks leaning to the west;
geese, ducks and chickens are grow
ing a thick down under their feathers
and a bony substance on their feet
to use as snow shoes; squirrels
stored unusually large supply of
nuts; toad stools on logs have many
wrinkles; owls have taken to the
woods much earlier than usual /;
weeds in the woods have never been
known to grow so thick; the manager
of the Oldest paper in Smryna has
received a handsome fur-lined over
coat from his tailor in Wilmington
all of which are sure signs Of a severe
winter"
Pleasant weather will prevail dur
ing the Christmas holidays. These
are the predictions of Reading, Pa,
