The weather bureau said the turbulent storm was located at, that time 200 miles due east of West Palm Beach and 400 miles southeast of Jacksonville. hurricane has remained nearly stationary during the night with the centefe at 9:15 a. EST near latitude 26.7, longitude i 76.2," the advisory said.

Mild winds of 18 to 20 miles an hour--outer fringes of the blow-were blowing at Melbourne and West Palm Beach and other east points. Waves rippled over a seven foot concrete seawall at Jacksonville Beach, 18 miles from here, but parents sent their children to school as usual as it was still not certain where, when or if the great itorm would strike. The latest advisory said the hurricane, with tremendous 140 mile winds, was moving very slowly, apparently about five miles an hour to the northwest ''which may indicate it is changing course." "The area of strong winds has expanded and now covers an area of about 400 miles in diameter," the advisory said. Any change of course, it was indicated, would be to the north which would mean the mam brunt of the storm would miss Florida. Even if that happens, the weather bureau said that winds will become strong on the middle east Florida coast today "with hurricane winds some distance off shore." ''If the storm is curving northward strong winds will extend northward along the coast tonight and the advisory said.

The weather bureau said frequent advices and possible warnings would be issued today and tonight. At Jacksonville Beach, Mrs. J. Z. Scott, whose cottage is 50 ieet from the seawall, said per- manerl residents who are veterans ot many hurricanes were slicking to their homes although vacationers on the beaches were moving into Jacksonville.
