are building very thick-walled and
warm houses this fall in anticipation
of severe winter. The Indians, who.
are supposed to have a keener nose for
the weather than the white man, also
predict a long, cold winter. The buds
now forming on the trees are providing

the other side we find the weatherWise
mule of Galen Barber, of MontevideO,
Mimi, which says that a mild, short
winter is ticketed for the northwest
this year. When this mule puts on a
heavy fall coat early in the season and
keeps it on, hard winter is expected.
but if the new coat is shed again in
September then a mild winter is COM
ing. The mule has already shed the.
brand new coat taken on in August,
hence, we may look for an open winter
this year. And here comes a new wea-
Their prophet. James McNulty by name,
who halls from Minneapolis Here is
what he has to say: Il predict SUM

years following the hard three years.
No more cold winters will there be.
"Jim says it makes him laugh to hear
that the Indians and other weather
pronosticators tell the public that we
are to have a severe winter with heaps
OF snow. jim can see water running on
the streets during January, and says
the temperature will be as high as ~
and 50 above He also predicts that
that nations of the world Will dlsarm,
and that the whole world will be bone
dry by 1910; that most OF the women
will hold high positions by 1870, ana
that we are to have a woman as ipresl-
dent Of this glorious country IN l94o.
Tim also SAYS that Woodrow Wilson mas
killed the democratic party for good !;

t. Which of the above prophets prophets are we
to believe. We, would rather bank on
the ability Of the mule to kick all other

any event, we are compelled to take the
weather just as it comes and let It go
at that.
