'BUSMAN’S WEATHER INDICATOR
'According to a London ’bus conductor, an infallible portent of wet weather is the softening of the indelible pencils which he and his colleagues use in making those notes which are, to the passenger, such a mysterious part of the job of conducting omnibuses. Bain is sometimes signalled, in this Way, as much as 24 hours ahead, the conductor says, and his view, justly or unjustly, was that the indelible pencil had a more accurate notion of things meteorological than the experts. He evidently does not know of the daily use made of wet-bulb thermometers.
