FACTS ABOUT THE LIGHTNING
BY HUGH ALLEN.

has no lightning rods on any fed
eral buildings except powder mag
lazines, and the Washington monu-
ment.
The protection given the Wash
ington monument Is called the
most perfect in the world. A
slight stroke 20 years ago aroused
the government engineers who in
stalled additional equipment. II
is a shining mark for electric
flashes, but has withstood them
all since the change.
A one-inch copper tube rod will
carry off harmlessly the strong
est electric flash known.
1t is impossible to tell accurate
i y how large space of roofing
one rod will guard.
Lightning rod equipment, placed
by competent people, will draw
the lightning efficiently except in
the case of an unusually severe
and powerful charge.
In case of a person struck by
| lightning, resuscitation processes
should be resorted to at once, and
the work not given up for at least
an hour.
The process Of reviving a per-
son struck by lightning is similar
to that of drowning person. Place
victim on back flat on ground and
work arms over head every three
seconds regularly to restore
breathing.

In view of the approach of the

NICHOLS JOB
EASY To FILL
PLENTY OF APPLICANTS WILL
ING TO HOLD DOWN STATE
SECRETARY'S OFFICE.
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
OLYMPIA, May 5.-Speculation
is active here as to who will be
chosen by Governor Hay to take
the place Of Secretary of State
Sam H. Nichols, who rendered his
resignation late yesterday after
noon.
Captain I. M. Howell of Taco
ma, former county auditor and
candidate for the nomination
against Nichols in the primaries,
is looked upon as a logical candid
ate from a party standpoint, but
Governor Hay has given no init
nation as to whether he will play
politics in the appointment or give
the plum to some personal friend.
Jimmy" Davis, former mem
Der of the state board of control,
also of Tacoma, has been suggest
ed for the place, but It is not like
ly he will be seriously considered.
Ex-Governor Albert e. Mead is
being pushed for the place by the
Mead machine, which is still
strong in the state. Governor Hay
has given no intimation as to
how he likes the Mead machine,
but both Hay and Mead were sup
ported by largely the same ele-
ment in the primary election and
they have a good many common
friends.
In view of the fact that Hay
comes from Spokane, however
that city will ask for the place
and Eastern Washington pride
may cut considerable figure with
the governor.
The resignation Of Nichols has
thrown the state house into a
state of political chaos. Nichols
!, says he may tell some things he
knows about other officials that
will make interesting reading, and
there is uneasiness in several
quarters, It is limited.
