Democratic Sentinel, Volume 16, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 July 1892 — Fishes Fell from the Clouds. [ARTICLE]

Fishes Fell from the Clouds.

During a heavy rainstorm at Forest City, near Scranton, Pa., the other daj fishes fell from the clouds, and citizens gathered them up by the handful. They were from three to fovu inches long, and of the species known as devil-fish or “stone-wallers.” Several gentlemen found a number in a small pool of water. They were kept in water and are still alive. In order to make sure that the fishes canto from the clouds, a number of persons went out on a roof and found four fishes there. It has been suggested that the fish were caught up in the storm and carried along and dropped when the heavy downpour overcame the current of air in which they were floating.
