GETTING OUT OF THE WOODS.

''lr you discover that you are lost In
the woods sit down and think calmly
back over the road you have travelled,
trying to decide where the camp should
lie. Then, IL you have your compass
and II seems to agree with your judg-
ment. stick faithfully to that direc-
ton. Even II you are wrong in your
DECISION it is better to keep on in one
direction, because you may fall in with
some stream and can follow it to a
human habitation.
III you have no compass the sun Is
an excellent guide during the day,
Should the sky be overcast. place the
point OF your knife blade on the end
of your thumb, turn slowly until the
full shadow of the blade obscures the
the sun rs.
ITO prevent getting into the circle
habit break off branches of the bushes
you pass. Start a fire II your match
safe Is with you-as 1t should be. Re-
member that fire piled up with damp
wood makes dense smoke and quick

FLOOD WARNING
in Lowlands of WASHINGTON
Arc Warned.

Seattle. Wash. Jan. s.-The United
States weather service issued a food
warming yesterday to dwellers in the
lowlands of western Washington, that
the melting Of the mountain SHOWS
must cause the overlooking Of rivers
already at the danger point. Rain fell
all day in the lower attitudes of west
ern Washington. The Great Northern
railway, whose Cascade division has
been tied up for several days, is UNI
able to clear its track Oh the western
slope near the tunnel, because Of sue
cessive land slides. A slide today
covered Ave and one was killed.
The Milwaukee and Northern Pa
cifc railways were crippled today by
the storm and trains are running ir-
regularly. The gale which is over
spreading western Washington is ex-
pected to change the precipitation in
the mountains from snow to rain and
fill every gulch with a torrent.
Rivers are rising rapidly and farm
ers have moved their portable prop
erty back from the banks.
The temperature in Seattle last
night gives promise of being eight de-
grees warmer than last night.
