A new young blonde bride calls her mother in tears. She sobs, "Robert doesn't appreciate what I do for him." "Now, now," her mother comforted, "I am sure it was all just a misunderstanding." "No, mother," you don't understand. "I bought a... Read more of Turkey roll at Free Jokes.ca

Lower Latitudes

NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.

Axis line, wind N.E., barometer falling, first half of storm.
Axis line, wind S.W., barometer rising, last half of storm.

RIGHT-HAND SEMICIRCLE.

Wind E.N.E., E., E.S.E., S.E., barometer falling, storm increasing.
Wind S.S.W., S., S.S.E., S.E., barometer rising, storm passing off.

LEFT-HAND SEMICIRCLE.

Wind N.N.E., N., N.N.W., N.W., barometer falling, storm increasing.
Wind W.S.W., W., W.N.W., N.W., barometer rising, storm passing off.

HIGHER LATITUDES.

NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.[2]

Axis line, wind S.E., barometer falling, first half of storm.
Axis line, wind N.W., barometer rising, last half of storm.

RIGHT-HAND SEMICIRCLE.

Wind S.S.E., S., S.S.W., S.W., barometer falling, storm increasing.
Wind W.N.W., W., W.S.W., S.W., barometer rising, storm passing off.

LEFT-HAND SEMICIRCLE.

Wind E.S.E., E., E.N.E., N.E., barometer falling, storm increasing.
Wind N.N.W., N., N.N.E., N.E., barometer rising, storm passing off.

N.B. The directions of the hurricane winds are so arranged as to show
the points of commencement and termination. Thus in the lower latitudes
a storm commencing at E.N.E. passes off at S.S.W. after the wind has
veered E., E.S.E., S.E., S.S.E., and S., being in the order of the
letters in the upper line and contrary to their order in the lower. One
commencing at E.S.E. passes off at S.S.E. right-hand semicircle. In the
higher latitudes a ship taking the storm at E.N.E. will be in the
left-hand semicircle, and the hurricane will pass off at N.N.E. These
changes are rendered very apparent by moving the hurricane circle in the
direction in which the storm is expected to proceed.
