Fortin barometer

It's a barometer of how seriously the whole article should be taken.

Might not the sudden fall of the barometer before storms be from a cause similar in some degree to this?

I found it on all occasions extremely sensible, and very often to predict a change of wind much sooner than the barometer.

Over the writing-table was a barometer and a storm-glass, while to the left a cosy corner extended round to the fireplace.

The weather very cold, though the thermometer is at 56°, barometer 29–08; a very heavy swell.

The race was set for 1.30, and soon after noon all the crews were carefully overhauling their gear and studying the barometer.
