ALMANAC AND TIDE TABLE. FROM JUNE 1857, TILL JUNE, 1858. The daily rising and falling of the waters of the ocean are, in general, denominated Tides. The risingis called the Flood, or Flux; and when it ceases to rise, High Water. The falling is called the Ebb, orEeiiux ; and when it ceases to fall, it is said to be Low Water. The interval between the times of Highand Low Water is called a Tide. The Tides are produced by the attraction of the sun and moon, principally that of the latter cohesion of fluids being much less than that of solid bodies, they more easily yield to the power ofgravity; in consequence of which the waters immediately below the moon are drawn up in a protuberance,producing a full tide, or what is commonly called High Water, at the spot where it happens. Accordingto this theory, you would imagine that we should have full tide only once in twenty-four hours, that is,every time that we were below the moon; while we find that we have two tides in the course
