  1. (continued from previous page)
    When the spiders came from their cobwebs it is a sign of rain.
    When the ducks begin to quack it shows that the rain is coming.
    The cat and the dog seek the heats of the fire, when bad weather is coming.
    When rainy weather is in store old peoples' pains get worse and corns get sorer.
    When good weather is in store the sunset is a bright red, the moon shines clearly and the morning is grey and misty.
    When the smoke is been blown about by the wind, that is a sign of bad weather.
    When seven stars are seen together it is a sign of frosty weather.
