Weather-Lore Not All Fake.

I The vagaries of the mythical "weather clerk” are not. In the opinion of D. W. Homer, writing in Meteorology, so undependable as is generally supposed. He maintains that the following rules are founded on facts although he withholds the main fact to which part of the .world do they apply: “If rain commences before daylight, it. will hold up before 8 a. m.[ if It begins about noon, it will con-» tinue through the afternoon; if St commences after 9 p. it will rain the next day; If it clears off in the night it will rain the next day; If the wind is from the northwest or southwest, the storm will be short; If from the northeast, it will be a hard one; If from the northwest, a cold one, and from the southwest, a warm one. If It ceases after 12 m M It will rain next day; if IFceases before 12 m., it will be clear next day. If it begins about 5 p. m., it will rain through the night If raining between 8 and 9 a. m., it will go on till noon, and if not then ceasing will go on till evening.”
