A gentleman in our town who has
lived in this section of the state for
nearly 76 years and has Travelled ex-
tensively thru the woods of northern
Maine without aid of compass says
that he never was lost nor had any
difficulty whatever in finding his way
about for the simple reason that he
observed nature. He gives these
signs which are easy to remember
and always sure guides First, the !
limbs grow longer on the south es-
pecialiy on soft wood trees and the !
branches on the top of pine tree |
always leans towards the south |
Third. the moss grows on the north |
side of the tree. Much difficulty |
might be avoided If these simple !
teachings of nature were observed |
and followed.
