SINGS OF THE WEATHER.
They Are More Or Less Plain to Those
Who Understand.

Adam may or may not have tried
his hand at neutrality-suspicious., but il
is written that as far back as the
time of Noah, that gentleman prophe'
sled a long wet spell, and, unlike
lot of later weather-prophets, he had
such faith in his own representations
that he took measures to meet the
situation. Further than that, subse-
quent events proved that Noah was
100 per cent prophet. Many Of his
successors, however, showing a lower
batting average, it became increasing
| 1y apparent as times went on that IN
view of the frequency with which the
representations failed, the subject
should be placed on scientific basis
in order to obtain accuracy in the re-
suits, or at least to spread sort OF
halo of learning and philosophy about
it, and thus minimize the course, as
it were, of possible errors, So wealth
er bureaus were instituted which same
have been in more or less successful
operation now for many years, with
attendants on the government pay
roll and everything. Entirely apart
from scientific observations, however,
homemade weather forecasting has
persisted as a pleasing pastime all
these years, and on this very day
there is a set of rules governing it,
more or less recognized by amateur
weather-prophets. For the benefit
of those who may be unfamiliar with
these rules the New York Sun has
obligingly made compilation of
them and they are set forth as fol-
lows:
When standing on high ground and
the horizon is unobstructed from all
quarters, if the sky is absolutely
cloudless, look for a storm within
forty-eight hours.
If it starts to rain after seven
O'Clock in the morning it will continue
to do so all day, and very often it is
the indication of a three days rain.
When it is raining and it brightens
and darkens alternately you can count
on an all-day rain, with chance OF
clearing at sundown.
When the rain ceases and the
clouds are still massed in heavy
blankets one sure sign Of clear wealth
er is the patch of blue sky that shows
through the rift large enough to make
a pair of ''sailor's breeches.'
Another sign of continued rain is
when the smoke from the chimney
hovers low around the housctops.
When it ascends straight into the air
this indicates clear weather.
A foggy morning is usually the fore
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1920-03-18
'unner of a clear afternoon.

A thunderstorm in winter (uSually
| in January or Febraury) is always
followed by clear, cold weather. 1t
is not, as many think, the breaking
up of winter.
People living near the seashore say
storm is "brewing" when the air is
salty, caused by the wind blowing
from the east.
A red or copper-colored sun or
moon indicates great heat. A silvery
moon denotes clear, cool weather.
The old Indian sign of dry month
was when the ends of the new moon
were nearly horizontal; one of them
resembled a hook on which the In
dian could hang his powder-horn.
Many people troubled with rheuma-
tism and neuralgia usually are excel
lent barometers and can predict
changeable weather by feeling it in
their bones"
And the advice of the old weather
sage is 4never go cut during April
month without being accompanied by
your umbrella"
And then, for the special benefit CT
those who never can remember any
thing they read in prose, but do have
a faculty for retaining jingles the fol-
lowing important formulas are set out
in verse:
Red in the morning the sailors
warning;
Red at night the sailors delight.
When you see a mackerel sky,
Twill not be many hours dry.
When the seagulls inland fly
Know We that storm is nigh.
A ring around the moon
Means a storm is coming soon.
When it rains before seven
Twill clear before eleven.
