Xow that a weather signal bureau Sk.s tn en established in Hie'.;or the PilK? AND CAROLINIAN will publill tlie fore-v'MMs weekly- in tinier that our readers may understand the sig nals, we publish them again and sug ge.st that all those who are interested in the matter cut them ont of the pa p er and paste them ti j at some conven ient place where they can at one? -'understand what it u.eau.s when tliey see a Hag Hying at the top of the pole in the Public Square. To understand the flag signals read the following and preserve it? 1.

These weather forecasts are telegraphed to observers at. stations of the Weather Bureau, railway officials, and many others,.' and are so worded as to be readily commun ieui d to the public by means of dagts .or steam whistled. The Hags adopted foi- this purptse are five in number (in dicated and which we will publish later.) Number 1, white flag, six feet square, indicates clear or fair weather. Num ber 2, blue llag, six feet square, indi cates rain or snow. Number 3, white and blue flags (parallel bars of white and blue), six feet square, indicates that local rains or showers will occur, and that the rainfall will not be gener al. Number 4, block triangular Hag, four feet at the base and six feet in length, always refers to temperature; when placed above numbers 1, 2, or 3 it indicates colder weather, when not displayed, the indications are that the change in temperature will not vary more than four degrees from the tem perature of the same hour of the pre ceding day from March to October, in clusive, and not more than six degrees for the remaining months of the year. Number o, white flag, six feet square, with black, square in centre, indicates the approach of a .sudden decided fall in temperature. This signal is not dis played unless it is expected that the temperature v? ill fall to forty-two de grees, or lower, and is usually ordered at least twenty-four hours in advance of th cold wave. When number 5 is displayed. 'number 4 is always omitted. When displayed on poles the signals should be arranged to read downward; when displayed from horizontal sup ports a small streamer should be at tached to indicate the point from which the signals are to be read.- INTKIlPIlKTATIOi: OF DISPLAY-.
