- (continued from previous page)rain comes. The duck quacks during the good weather and they say it calling for rain she is and the swans that are floating on the lakes and ocean billows come ashore and the hosts of gulls that alight around the shores scream endlessly. Those are sure signs of rain. Long ago those birds, insects etc. were the only weather guide for our fore fathers. Now in modern times wireless is used for forecasting weather that the young people are losing belief in those old signs.
