HOW THE WINDS BLOW.
In the Northern Hemisphere (the Barae authority states) the effect of the veering of the wind on the Barometer is in accordance with the following law : "With East, South-east, and South winds, the barometer falls. With South-west winds, the barometer ceases to fall and begins to rise. With West, North-west, and North winds, the barometer rises. "With North-east winds, the barometer ceases to rise and begins to fall. In the Northern Hemisphere the thermometer rises with East, Southeast, and South winds; with a Southwest wind it ceases to rise and begins to fall; it falls with West, North-west, .and North winds ; and with a Northeast wind it ceases to foil and begins to rise.
