DUE TO RAIN FOR 40 DAYS
'TIs ?t. Swithln's Day If Legend
Holds True Bad Weather Is Ahead
If an old tradition Is true, it will rain
for forty days, for this is St. Swithln's
Day.
St. Svvithln I hailed iu song and
. titory as a goodly man who had his off
days, like the weather, and when, as a
bishop, he enme to die like common m'or-
tals, he besought that ho be burled be
neath the caves of Winchester Cathe
dral, so the dripping rain from the
revered structure might. blend him with
the soil and make him fulfill In death
the penances he forgot to do in life.
As a matter of fact, liishop Swithin,
who lived Iu the ninth century, wns
never a saint. Canonization, iu Kug
land did not go into practice until two
centuries later, but he was so beloved
by his people, perhaps for his very
earthly Iratlitles, 'that they called him
'fsalnt." . "
Forecaster BIIrh says a storm, mov
ing northeastward and centering over
Lake Ontario, will have passed by
Philadelphia shortly after uoou.
