FROGS FORECAST WEATHER

Amphibia in Hotel Fountain Give Warning of Rain and Never Miss a Guess.

Brunswick, Ga.—Brunswick now has a weather forecasting station, although it has no connection with the government’s weather department. The forecasting station is located in the fountain in front of the Oglethorpe hotel and consists of a number of long-wind-ed and sweet-voiced frogs. It is said they never miss the weather and that when they sing one might as well look out for rain. The frogs give nightly concerts when the weather outlook is right and the concerts are greatly enjoyed by the hotel guests as well as the steady stream of passersby.
