RULES.
The same F IV E R U L E S will apply as in the recent Football Competitions.
The above competition should prove interesting, as so many people are good
weather prophets ; and there are many well-known weather predictions, such as the
following :
I f the sun shines on Christmas D ay,
Thero will be much snow in M ay.
The last seven da>s in December, and the first five days of January, are said to tell w ha:
weather we shall have all the year th o u g h
If it rains on December a=th, and during the next eleven days, s> s irely will it be a wet year.
In whatever quarter tne wind be on St. lhom as’s D ay, December 21st, there it will remain fot
the next lunar quarter.
A green Christ m»s denotes a white or frosty Easter.
An old French suuemtiuon connected with the weather is as follows ;—P ace twelve onious on
a shelf where they w ill r.ot be touched ; put a good pinch of salt- on each onion, an*J if it remain**
unmeitcd, the month cone pon ling promises to be dry. Should the salt have melted, then tne
month denoted by the number wi l be a rainy one.
