39 massed together, it is violent and non-intermittent ; as also is the case witli wliirlwinds. Such and tlie like are the occurrences due to local causes. But there are many things Avhich occur in many different places, to speak of which separately would require a volume. The following phenomena have relation to all winds in com- 35 mon, being such as in each case afford indications when the wind is about to blow. The air varying in its opacity in proportion to its density or rarity, or in pro...portion to its heat or cold, or in proportion to some other condition, always indicates the coming current. For the conditions of the air sympathise with the movements of the wind, and precede the winds in affecting our senses. So also in regard to the sea and waters, it is possible to observe the same indications ; since the waves lifting and breaking [before the wind comes] indicate that winds are coming. But they are propelled not without intermission, but at intervals ;^^ and one wave propelled by the wind propels another ; and is again propelled by another puff of Avind, when the first had died away ; and so being thus constantly propelled they arrive at the shore.
