He shall put gold weights in the southern (right) scale and the several articles to be weighed in the northern (left) scale; waters to be weighed shall also be put into the northern scale; if well-water should be found to weigh more when weighed the next day, there will be no rain in winter; if rain water should weigh more there will be moderate rain; if tank or lake water should weigh more there will be abundant rain.
