  1. (continued from previous page)
    pale and dark clouds shading it bad weather is near. Some more people believe in birds as their guide to the weather. Some say a flock of seagulls flying inland is a sign of rain. Some more believe in the swallow they say it is a sure sign of rain to see the swallow flying down low at first and then all of a sudden to see them fly up to the sky. If white fog is to be seen in the evening on the hills and if the wind is blowing from the east we can be sure fine weather is approaching.
