Owi'Jt: to the close relation which the
weather has to physical comfort, to
health and to production, it is no won
der that weather proverbs have been
originated ; and due to the never-failing
habit of discussing the weather, on all
occasions and under all circumstances,
rnony proverbs have been so oft repeated
that the common idea is that they are
founded upon fact. Since scientific and
accurate weather observations have been
made, these old provejbs have gradually
become obsolete, so far as their meaning
is concerned, or they are now repeated
as are the quaint and pleasing nursery
rhymes. They should be regarded as
survivals of supersitious folk-lore,
rather than as weather-wise sayings.
No credence should be attached to the
innumerable sayings regarding the char
acter of certain seasons, aa determined
by the weather on certain dates of the
calendar. The reputation of such wea
ther proverbs comes only from the mem
ory of those that are verified and forget
ting those that are not.
The same comment may be made re
garding the days of the week in which
the phase of the moon changes, and ttio
attitude, of the now moon in the sky. A
common "moon forecast" is in regard to
the position of the horns of the moon.
If in Oregon a certain position gives a
certain weather, then it is reasonable to
.assume that similar weather should
prevail at all places on the same lati
tude ciicle. Such ia manifestly not
;true.
Weather changes or forecasts based on
these and similar eiijns have no more
verification than those based on the
movements of the planets, and all
ehuuld be treated in the same class as
those of the astrologers, centuries ago.
The movement of ttie earth, in its
patli around the sun, and its constantly
changing inclination, will, on March 21,
place it in such a position that the
length of the day and night will be
equal. The day will continue to grow
longer, until June 21, when the day
grows shorter to December 21, when
the day is at its anorte3t period. On
September 21, the day and night are
again equal. It lias been handed down
from ages past that at the time of the
equinox severe storms will occur, and in
order to verify tliia proverb any storm
that occurs within ten days or two
weeks of the equinox lias been credited
to this cause. Ab.iut. March 21 and
September 21 changes of the seasona are
imminent and taking place, but a care
ful study of accurate records does not
ehow that any credence can be placed in
the old saying concerning severe or
even unusual storms.
The record of Portland, Or., for twenty
three consecutive years shows that
March has a daily average- rainfall of
0.1S9 of an inch. That on March 21, for
tho eame number of years, the daily
average for that day ia 0.120 of an inch;
that for live days previous to Marcli 21
tho daily average ia 0.0S0 of an inch,
and for livo days after, the daily average
is 0 187 of an inch, ao that it is seen that
for the eleven daya, March 21, the five
days before that date and the five days
after, tho daily average rainfall ia 0.141
inches, which is 0.018 ot an inch below
the dally average for tho month. If tin
uciial weather conditions prevailed
about the equinox does it not appear
reasonable to assume that such would he
slio.vu by twenty-three years' record,
and that more rain would be shown
within tho eleven daya than during the
other twenty days of the mouth?
Tho record shows less rain than the
average during this period, hence tho
conclusion that there is no credence to
be placed in this old legend.
The maximum fall of rain at Portland
is from Decent bur 15 to January 15, after
the latter d.Ue there hoi tic mi average
gradual decrease in the utnount, and
tills gradual decrease is not altered by
the nresenee of the fcouinox, at least, it
ia not so shown in the twenty-three
years recorded ut Portland, Or.
The Stnteamnn nm ilio Mrrclisint.
There are people in this world who
are short sighted enough to believe that
their interests can bo best promoted by
grasping and clinging to all they can get,
yet, aa a genoral thinti, it will be found,
other things being equal, that he who is
moat liberal, ia most successful in busi
ness. It ia an ovcrlaating fact that there
can be no permanent prosperity or good
feeling where benefits aro not recip
rocal. There are merchants aa there aro
great statesmen, and there are Email
merchants as there are small poli
ticians, and the difference between the
great and tho small is very much the
same in both professions. The small
politician works by the day and sees
only the small opportunities before him
and the amall merchant a'unpiy looks
for the next dollar. The statesman, on
the other hand, ia master of tho aitua
tion, because he understands the prin
ciples which controls events, and the
great merchant does the same thing.
His business is not a mere matter of
barter, but a science and an art. He
'Studies the general laws of trade,
watches conditions, investigates present
needs, foresees future wants and adapts
his business to the conditions of the
time and place. He puts as much brains
into the work as does tho statesman.
One of the members of that emi
nently successful firm of A. M. Williams
& Co. said the other day, the more he
studied life the more clearly he saw that
it wa3 all done on business principles.
Promptness, thoroughness, courage,
honesty and liberality are wrought into
it3 everv fibre. These are exactly tho
principles that have proved such pro
ductive seeds for Messrs. A. M. Will
iams & Co., woh always treat their big
business from a statesman point of view.
Forethought and judgment have cer
tain ly figured in the recent buying of
their splendid spring stock of clothing
now ready for the people. Liberality
controls their underselling, and honesty
rules over their "white" treatment of
customers. The K. N. & F. Co. clothing
ia a leading feature of their's, a make
famous for style, service and satisfac
tion, and worn by leaders in professions,
society and every trade, from Maine to
California and from Canada to Texas
the most reputable brand of clothing in
the hands of reputable dealera. Surely
cannot the city of The Dalles claim A
M. Williams & Co. aa the statesman of
merchants?
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have in
vented a great many valuable thinus.
They were the first to mako brooms by
machinery; the first to put up seeds in
litttle packages; tho first to nianufactuie
cut nailr.
Now they aro out with a method of cur
ing dyspepsia by resting the stomach.
Their remedy is known as the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. It supplies food in
an artificially digested form and at tho
same time aids the digestion of other
foods in the stomach. In other words,
by the use of the Shaker Digestive C01
dial, a dyspeptic virtually gets along
without the use of his stomach until it
is restored to its natural strength and
vigor. A single 10 cent bottle will oft
times give marked relief. Get a bottle
from your druggist and try it.
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place of
Castor Oil.
Something to lltipttiid On.
Mr, James Jones, of ihe drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, III., in speaking
of Dr. King's Now Discovery, sava that
last winter Iris wife was attacked with
LaGrippe, and her case grew ao serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. It seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. Hav
ing Dr. King's New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a bottle
home, and to tho surprise of all she be
gan to get better from tho firatdose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound
and well. Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is
guaranteed to do this good work. Try
it. Free trial bottles at Uiakeley &
Houghton's Drug Store. v5)
