Know The Weather By E. a. SIMS During your vacation to the beach or lake this summer an interesting past-time might be a study of the clouds day by day? and the conclusions you can draw from them. For example, very high cirrus clouds will often indicate the ap proach of a warm front, which brings with it rain. But the high er the typcal summer clouds cumulus separated white puffs moving gently along in a sum mer sky, the better the weather is likely to be. If the sky is cloudless with barometer high and steady and' wind from the west, then good weather should be ahead. If the typical summer cumulous clouds form tow to the ground and get, even lower, then rain will prob ably occur during the day. The summer cloud puffs are formed as air tises and con tracts, thereby increasing the percentage of moisture in the air: When it increases enough, the moisture changes into tiny particles, which change the air to visible air ? a cloud. If this occurs low to the surface of the earth, it is an indication that the moisture content of the air is great ? thus a greater chance of rain from the clouds during the day. ? ???'hi After all, it would be rather tough to have to live forever. Friendly criticism may be extremely helpful though it is not pleasant to the ear. Why, you ask? . . ? Well, because it was the only way folks in rural areas could get electricity.
