Transfer Fur Coats for Raincoats Says Weatherman.

If the weatherman has made no mistake and his forecasts have been quite accurate of late, we are about to be transferred from delightful but very cold winter to open, sloppy weather. The forecast of today is rain for tonight and Sunday. This will require a decided moderation in the temperature, which reached p degrees above zero Friday night. For a time at least heavy coats and furs can be put away and raincoats and umbrellas put to use. On top of some twelve inches of packed snow this should make a sloppy condition that none will enjoy except the dealer in overshoes. Eater—Just after the original weather forecast was received this morning the reporter had written the above article, a corrected report came, which forecasts snow or rain for the north part of Indiana. Evidently the prognosticator realized that it was a tolerabl ybig jump from 20 above zero to a rain storm and he changed his forecast. The snow began at about noon and the heavy sky has the appearance of a long continued contribution of “the beautiful.”
