   very plainly, while other times we can scarcely hear it. If we can plainly hear on a winter's night, it is said to be freezing, but when we cannot hear it, the night is generally cold, dull and windy. So, we have the train as a weather indicator.
   As a last indication, we have the people themselves. They can know when hard rainy weather is approaching, especially old people who are subject to Rheumatic pains, as all nerve pains begin to bother people at the approach of rain. People feel drowsy, and they feel the rheumatism in their body when bad weather is at hand. It is often an old age pensioner is heard saying, "there is a change coming in the weather, I feel it in my bones".
