HIGH WINDS REGARDED AS FORERCNNERS

Washington. Aug. 12.-After receiving to-
nights report from the Southern States Pro-
fessor Garrett chief forecaster for the Weather
Bureau said he did not consider that the West
Indian hurricane had yet reached the Florida
coast. despite high winds to-day at Jupiter and
other points In the southern part Of the State.
These he regarded mece forerunners Of the
storm which is yet to come. He said 1t was
evident that the centre of the hurricane would
enter the coast somewhere south of Jupiter.
He further expressed the opinion that the storm
would upon striking the coast. turning
northward from the striking point He expected
the hurricane to be felt as far north as Jackson
vile and Savannah tonight, and said that, in
all probability Cape Hatteras would be reached
at least by the advance gales within the next
twenty-four hours However, II had not yet
been thought necessary to display hurricane
signals north of the South Carolina coast The
velocity OF the storm is regarded as slow, but
so long as 1t is out at sea, the Weather Bureau
officials are not disposed to talk freely Of the
possibilities in the way Of damage.
