storm General Throurhous Northwe..

PORTLAND, Oct Especial. storm
signals are flying at ali disp ay stations in
Oregon and Washington today to denote
that dangerous northwesterly winds are
expected tonight and Sunday. The wires
are down between Astoria and Fort
Candy and also between Port Townsend
and Tatoosh island. so that no reports
from the extreme western coast line are
obtainable. In and about Portland
another heavy rainstorm has prevailed
during the past twenty-four hours, and so
far as reported similar condition has
existed throughout the entire Pacific
Northwest. The Willamette river has a
muddy and angry current. and is rising
rapidly. 1t already stands eight feet
above low water mark and the probabili-
ties are that it will be several feet higher
before Monday. In this city nearly two
inches of rain have fallen since the storm
began yesterday.

THE CALM OF DESPERATION.
How the Passengers and Crew Of Doomed
Vessel Sat Quietly Awaiting Death.

1T was about seven o'clock in the
evening when the captain passed
through the cabin and quietly informed
the passengers gathered there that he
had abandoned all hope of saving the
steamship. After that one of the mates
who had been toiling with the crew fer
the last three hours came to us and
said that further effort was useless.
There must have been seventy of US
passengers in the ca bin a quarter of an
hour later The engines had broken

drifting in the trough Of the sea. At

had been put to work. most OF the

Sense of Smell in Dogs.

It has often been proven that dogs
are able to track their masters through
crowded streets. where it would be i'm
possible to attribute their accuracy to
anything except the. sense of smell
alone. Mr.. Romanes. the naturalist,
once made some interesting expert
ments as to this wonderful power. as
exhibited in his own dog. In these
tests. the naturalist found that his
dumb friend could easily follow in the
tracks of his master. though he was far
out OF sight. and that too. after no less
than eleven persons had followed.

THE FOxHOUND'S COURAGE.
Its Endurance Depends Much Upon Com
panionShip.

Its Endurance Depends Much Upon Com
panionship.
The foxhound's courage is not shown
when in isolation No hound alone will
attack fox with the determine ton of
a terrier, yet the passive courage of
the foxhound is immense. TO see lag
ging hounds come up through field of
horsemen, TO watch the pace with
which they charge the thicl1est fences,
and the endurance they show during a
long run will convince most of this.
We heard once curious instance of
combination supplying courage. A
pack of English foxhounds were taken
to France for wolf-hunting- But when
a wolf: was reused. each hound. as he
caught the scent. dropped his tail be-
tween his legs and refused to follow.
When, however. some French hounds
used to the wolf had been added to the
pack. the foXhounds hunted eagerly.
But now they ran with their bristles
up-to kill. not to eat. The fox they
regard as a dinner: not so the wolf.
The large, straight fore legs, deep
chest and level back of the foxhound
show what he really is-the highest
development of united speed, strength
and endurance. Ten miles to the
meet, five hours hunting at an average
of ten miles an hour during which two
foxes are run down. and ten miles more
before supper, is bot an ordinary days
work We do not think we are eXagger-
ating when we say that many hound
could cover one hundred miles in a day
without being greatly distressed But
for this he would need companionship.
Alone, he would probably tire sooner
than slim pointer or long-legged set
ter. whose steady gauop over grass or
heather IS another marvel of animal
endurance. But the courage Of CO.
operation is less Interesting, even if
none the less creditable. than the dash
of the greyhound. Spectator.

a new play at new theater, and whose
pretty little head was so awfully
swelled that she could scarcely get it
through the door of the coupe in which
she had driven to her committee meet
ing. There was famous and brainy
star whose life was always enveloped
in a haze of fascinating mystery.
There was radiantly beautiful woman
who had left the stage for an ideal do
mestic life, and there was quiet, del
icate, refined girl who was the most
successful delineator of tough char
acters known to the metropolitan
stage A delightful chatter of silvery
voices rippled from this attractive cor
ner.
In another corner was a group of
dark-browed and fashing-eyed Cuban
beauties. Like gorgeous tropical birds,
they moved about, their liquid tones
and velvet voices mingling pleasantly
with the shrill sweetness of the stage
queens accents.
There was third group, made up of
still another type-women with bright,
cynical faces, quick of speech and
movement, tailor-made, well-gloved
and bonneted, conspicuous by an air
of good-fellowship and a certain
amount of snap and dash-newspaper
women. There was one well-knOwn
writer whose pen brought her an in
come equal to that of a member of con-
gress; there was girl scarcely out of
her teens some of whose beats" had
made the most hardened reporter turn
livid with envy; there was another
who knew everything about every
body. and could give you points about
your dearest friend which would make
your hair curl; there were two or three
women supporting their families by
their space rates. and at least half
dozen who were living on their nerve
burning the candle of life at both
ends and quite enjoying the confagra
ton.
Into the midst of this strangely as
sorted medley of living, breathing re
membered women came the woman
who was forgotten.
She took q seat in an obscure corner
and tried to distinguish some words
from the Babel about her, but in vain.
She strained and blinked her failing
eyes. hoping to discover some face she
knew, but all were strange. She at
tracted considerable attention, curiosi-
ty and good-natured comment.

Some kissed their hands to her; others
