Democratic Sentinel, Volume 7, Number 51, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 January 1884 — Cold-Wave Signals. [ARTICLE]

Cold-Wave Signals.

A Washington dispatch says the following will be inserted in the office regulations of the Signal Bureau by direction of Gen. Hazen: A white flag with a bjaok center will be used to indicate a wave is approaching. Whenever the anticipated temperature fall is decidedly below normal, the assistant in charge of the indications division will send telegrams to the observers at Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, Nashville, and Cincinnati: ‘‘Hoist cold-wave Signals,” and will direct them lowered when the temperature has reached the minimum. The youth who waltzes well is the one who leads the whirled.—New Tork Journal.
