   When salt is damp it's a sign of rain.
   In the morning if we watch the clouds and see all the small portions join on together and make up one large cloud we may be sure of rain that day.
   If the small portions vanish and separate from each other it is a sign of fine weather.
   In the summertime when the midgets are flying low it is a sign of rain.
   When a rheumatic person gets pains it's a sure sign of rain.
