Florida Hurricane;

The furious Florida hurricane,
tagged out after sweeping inland
over the Carolinas, by-passed Will
mington late yesterday afternoon
and dissipated its fury as it NOV
ed north~9ard.
But in its wake it left heavy
rains, moderately high winds, alb
normally high tides, and a new
flood of drainage problems to resi-
dents of Winter Park, Carolina
Beach, and other low areas.
All danger OF Fundamentally
winds is. gone, however, Paul Hess,
chief of the local U. S. Weather
bureau reported last night.
"Once a hurricane veers inland
from the ocean it's doomed to
early extinction Hess said. 1.-THE
sudden lack of moisture from the
sea seems to sap all the strength
out of it, and it starts to disinte-
crate in a hurry"
He predicted that the rain from
the storms ragged edge might
continue falling we'll into the morn
ing hours, but the weather will
probably clear this afternoon with
only a few innocent" clouds in the
sky:
About two inches Of rain had fall
len here as of midnight last night,
and Asheville reported q total OF
FAT inches.
The Charlotte Weather bureau
advised that the hurricanes core
entered North Carolina about $50
p. m. yesterday directly south OF
Charlotte. ,
The Miami Weather bureau,
which issued its last report at
4:30 p. m. yesterday, said storm
warnings would be lowered in
Charleston at 6 p. m. yesterday but
would remain flying north of Block
Island, Rhode Island, to Eastport,
Maine, Gust in case" the storm
might re-strengthen its diminish
ing power.
No damage of any consequence,
other than the old nuisance of flood
waters, was reported here or any
where else in the storms track.

of Wrightsville Beach's whale is
very much on display, in the Raj
eigh museum, according to the
information handed us yesterday
by our own version DR.. Watson,
alias to his own name. Here's the
story he told us. e
After the whale had languished
on Wrightsville's strand for about
a week he became o~doriferously
offensive. All of Wrightsville's
residents assumed what looked
like a very naughty H-demeanor
with their nostrils CONSTRUCTED in
a sharp aristocratic style remi-
niscent Of the nasal characteris-
tics of the old Romans.
The unaccustomed nostri1 con-
striction also began to change the
sound of their speech to resemble
that of the French, and pretty
soon they got pretty doggone well
tired of having that whale around.
So they hired a tug. The crew
attached one end of a steel cable
to the tug and the other end to
the whale and towed him up to Top
sail Island, where they buried him
with little ceremony in the sandy
grave.
