London, September 18. They write from Paris, that the Abbe
Aubert de Vedunsor Meuse, has invented a very curious and
admirable instrument, which he calls a Sonorous Anemometer;
by which elegant contrivance, without the assistance of
weights, pullies, or wheel, and without any care taken of
it, all the alterations of the weather, as to the heat or
moisture of the air, winds, mists, &c. are perpetually
predicted, with far greater certainty than by the barometer;
and this by a kind of musick, agreeable to the ear, which
may be also so adjusted, as to answer a variety of purposes
for pleasure and amusement, as it will play continually if
let to itself, but may be stopped at pleasure.
