RAIN IN ENGLAND
PHENOMENAL FOR THIRTEEN MONTHS.
ATTEMPT TO ASCERTAIN CAUSE. MAY BE DUE TO WIRELESS. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Receix r ed February 6, 11.50 a.m. LONDON, Feb. 5. People at Matlock, a mountain resort in Derbyshire, are requesting other spas to co-operate in a petition to the authorities to forbid broadcasting for one month to test its effect on the weather. There is a growing conviction at many health resorts that the phenomenally i-ainy weather for the past thirteen months is due to wireless. It is pointed out that many mornings are fine and that rain frequently begins with the wireless programmes and gets xx-orse in the afternoon and evening as the broadcasting increases.—A. and N.Z. cable.
