Sometimes they fail, mislead us, mai~ apparently wrong moves. We can't be absolutely sure about them. Well, we can’t be sure about the government 'weather predictions, either. The wise men at Washington, with all the resources of science and all the training of thousands of skilled observers at their command, have failed just about seven times out of eleven, this summer, to get within gunshot of the actnal weather twenty- four hours in advance. Weather is a most onsartain thing, anyway. My own experfence of recent years in actual out-door ccnditions leads me to put a good deal morc confidence in what the swallows and the robins and the cat-birds and, the hoopoes and the spails and the angle-worms and the spiders teli me than in what the government weather - bureau pats forth!
