  1. (continued from previous page)
    to the north it is the sign of good weather. When waves are heard noising to the east it is the sign of good weather.
    A cat scraping his paws against timber is the sign of a storm. Geese flying against the wind is the sign of a storm.

  2. When the rainbow is seen around the sun it is a sign of bad weather. When we see Mount Callan without mist it is a sign of good weather. Whatever time we see Mount Callan all covered with mist it is a sign of bad weather. When we see the swallows up very high in the air it is a sign of good weather, and when we see them low we are near rain.
