Nat,re Provides Interesting
By Virginia Allison
LILLIV/AUP- There was some-
hing about :.he eagle still-hunt-
ing from a tree stump near Stet-
son's, his telcscopm eyes alert for
small creatures incautious enough
to show themselves in the clear-
rag: mice. shrews, chipmunks or
garter snakes. The strangeness
about him lay in the color of his
plumage. He was a blaek eagle.
As soon as possible we consulted
the bird books ann found that he
is known as the Black Eagle dur-
ing the first year of his long life,
while his plumage changes as the
\\;₯ashingLon eagle, while in matur-
ity he has become the familiar
white-maded American Bald Ea-
gle.
City dwellers though we once
were, few of us escape altogether
the appeal of nature in some form.
We learn to identify the birds by
sight and song; to name the mush-
rooms, rocks or ,wild flowers;
while others investigate the ex-
citing world of marine life, As
t'or example teen-age Claudia ex-
periencing her first summer on
Hood Canal who went fishing and
netted so curious an object she
brought it over to exhibit. It prov-
ed to be a sea-cucumber of the
red variety to which a Kelp crab
was clinging tenaciously. This non
edible crab is so fierce a fighter
it should be bandied with caution.
We subdued him by sprinkling Ep-
som salts in the pail of sea-water.

campus hours (?f study required for

the same room he occupied as a
growing boy.

pedic Guild for the Mary Bridges

ly in the spring and had it ready
for the first arrivals. It is larger,
more enduring and more comforta-

head and elbow room and luggage
space for four people. Set among
bracken, the tallest of our ferns,
its gabled roof nestles under low
growing cedar boughs; lodging to

It is surprising how many differ-
ent results are achieved archi-
tecturally in the fine homes now
under construction on Hood Canal.
No two are alike anywhere, it
seems. We think that the lay of
the land and the angle of the
curve of the shoreline induces the
variation and the originality noted
in exteriors, and house plans many
of which are designed largely by
the owners.
