THE FLIGHT OF A CROW
IF TOO ae a solitary crow In flight
It la a sign that you will soon take
a journey. Tha length of the Jour
ney will be long or short according to
th length of tba crow's flight This
superstition la found In many parts
of the country and la merely a sur
vival "ausplcatlon," to coin a word,
or "ausplclum" to as th Latin noun
th science of divination by the
flight of birds ao popular among the
old Romsns.
It Is a crude, laymsn's sort of "sus
plcntion"; the Romsns erected the art
Into a complicated mystery which bad
Ita beginnings, probably. In just such
a simple and obvious matter as this
divining of tha length of a journey
by the length of a crow's flight. The
aclence waa entrusted to a blgh
priestly cast, tba auspices, and the
auspeg divined not only by the flight
of birds but by their cries, their en
trails, etc. This old magical cult of
divination of tha Romsns linger not
ouly In our superstitions but In our
language In such words aa "auipl
dona" and "auspices." That the crow
la designated as the bird of divina
tion In the superstition onuVr consid
eration la natural; for th crow and
tha raven ar of tb same genua, ao
