MOtCBMACHERS PROPHEnOPfffi v
MAKES GOOD WITH SIXTH SNOWFALL
Old Seer That Owns It Dances in High Glee as
Today's Storm Makes His Forecast
, Average 1000 Per Cent
since boyhood, Just as his father, his grand,
father nnd great-grandfather had.
His sharp eye saw six faint streaks form.
Ing on the bowl when tho first sign of spring
appeared. He laughed nt tho misleading
su:
H: prediction that there would be six
more snows camo like a bolt from tho sky.
The professional astronomers and the
Weather Bureau smiled. They had merely
their hlgh.falootlir mathematics to go by.
They declared that Simeon's predictions
were too foolish cen to consider.
But the snows came, eory one of them.
Is It nny uonder that old Simeon was In
high glee today? He shook his fist toward
the Postofflce as he yelled, "I told ye when
B,n ,.nce ls acrge Mlsi It's folly to be
wise!"
And then Mokemaclier continued his
. nie..U.w'aa n peculiar moxement three
straight kicks with the right foot, one
.. .w ,n1,,eft' a wiggle of the knees J
, . . 1I,CK ot ,ne necls " was the
old Mokemacher dance, just as the family
did It In Holland at cheese-making time.
At times he chanted:
."Ye enn't tell by ar riggers when the snow
Im glttln' ripe:
An' the only one thlt knows It h the old
Mokemacher pipe."
When the sun began to melt the snow
from the hillsides, old Simeon looked down
on the valley of the Schuylkill nnd patted
Tils pipe affectlonntcly. Then ho put It
away In the old cedar box which snuggles
In the dark kitchen fireplace until neM
w Inter.
Simeon M. Mokemacher danced wildly to
day In front of his Manayunk cabin.
At times he paused to run to the edge
of a rock which overhangs the Schuylkill
nnd shake his fist In tho direction of the
Postomce.
Passengers on the Schuylkill Valley ttalns
gasped. Seeral times old Simeon had ore
foot over the edge of the rocky precipice.
He was In high glee.
"Ho 1 ho 1 ho t ho 1 he ! he 1" he chuckled,
"ye can't fool the real prophet of the snows,"
Thoso who heard tho remark knew that
It was directed nt the Weather Bureau.
More than six weeks ago, when nn early
spring had dashed a touch of green on bush'
and tree, when the anguard of woodland
wnrblers had chanted tho approach of
poetical weather and when youth of cupldlsh
tendencies were beginning to dehe Into
romance, old Simeon camo forth with tho
ptcdlction that there would bo six more
snows before the first dandelion yellowed
the elvety green lawns of the alley of tho
Schujlklll.
The story of tho coming snows was h
Simeon's mysterious pipe.
If you remember. Its ccr-chang'ng hues
foreshadowed the storms to come. In fair
weather tho long stem and bowl were opal
escent, but In days of gloom the pipe was
a dingy brown, fading to black. Such
colors forecast rain except when crossed
by a streak of blue. This wns n sure sign
of snow.
Mokemacher had been watching the pipe

OCEAN' CITr, N. J.. April 0.
Ocean City's worst flro In earg today
destroyed the four-story Hotel Graham, two

Stewart, tho apartment houses by Andrew

and Frank W. Paxson, all of Philadelphia.
The fire Is said to ha-e started In tho
Fllley cottage, which was occiiplcd at Ras

Tho origin Is thought to hae been crossed

wero valued nt $18,000, partly Insured. The
