- (continued from previous page)the mountain and Innishmurray look near, it is also a sign of rain. To see the sulpher in the fire it is a sign of storm. The floor in which sea sand is, gets damp and even the walls when there is a sign of rain. The sea and lakes change their colour when there is a sign of rain. If the midges are to be seen flying about it is a sign of rain. When the chimney puffs and the ashes blows out through the house it is a sign of storm. When it is raining and if the cock crows it is a sign it will clear up. If the blackbirds are heard singing in the evening it is a sign there will be frost that night. When the smoke goes up straight it is a sign of good weather.
- Michael Jones of MountEdward. Parish of Ahamlish, Co. Sligo, could carry a hundredweight of meal in his teeth and put it up on a fence.(continues on next page)
