Paris, September 18. The Abbe Aubert de Vedunsur Mesue has
invented a curious and admirable instrument, which he calls
a sonorous anemometer; by which elegant contrivance, without
the assistance of weights, pullies, or wheels, and without
any care taken of it, all the alterations of the weather, as
to the heat and moisture of the air, winds, mists, etc. are
perpetually predicted, with far greater certainty than by
the barometer; and this by a kind of music, agreeable to the
ear, which may also be adjusted as to answer a variety of
purposes for pleasure and amusement, as it will play
continually, if left to itself, but may be stopped at
pleasure.
