CAN TELL COMING WEATHER
Almost Universal Belief That Tabby
Has Foreknowledge ef Any
Approaching Changes.
“Cats have the reputation," says
Dunwoody, according to the Detroit
News, “of being eepedally weather-
wise, an old notion which has given
rise to a most extensive folklore. It
Is almost universally believed that
good weather may be expected when
the cat washes herself, but bad when
she licks her coat against the grain,
or washes herself over the ears, or
sits with her tall to the Are,
“As, too, the cat Is supposed not
only to have knowledge of the state
of the weather, but a certain share In
the arrangement of it, it lg consid
ered by sailors most nnwlse to pro
voke a cat. Hence they do not much
like to have a cat on board at all, and
when one happens to be more frisky
than usual they quote a saying that
the cat has a gale of wind In her tall,
A charm often resorted to for rais
ing a storm ts to throw a cat over
board; but, according to the Hunga
rian proverb, as a cat does not die
In the water, Its paws disturb the
surface—hence the flaws on the sur
face of the water are called •cat's
paws.’ In the same way, also, a large
flurry In the water Is called a ‘cat’s
skin'; and In some parts of England
a popular name for the stormy north
west wind Is the ‘cat's nose.’ ”
