  1. (continued from previous page)
    by the dreadful noise of thunder. We all know the weather that will be.
    Here are a few sayings of weather which we can know from Nature -
    "White frost, last night
    Rain soon - that's right."
    "Up and down the barometeor saws,
    Winds and nasty drenching flaws."
    "When soot falls down,
    Umbrellas go up."
    "I hear the croaking frogs today,
    Rain! more rain! they seem to say."
