NEWS FROM NOME
(From Nome'Nugget. Jan. 1, ’.i'lJ)
The big south wind has raised
no end of disturbance with stove
pipes and telephone wires and has
also driven the ice up on the beach
to a considerable height. In front
of Barracks spuare the shore ice
is thrown up fifteen or twenty feet
and almost an equal distance at
several other points along the
water front. It is also reported
that the big caission of the Alaska
‘ Lighterage and Commercial Com
pany has been lifted on end by the
tremendous pressure. A report
was current on the streets during
• the day that the big tower and its
cement foundation had been moved
a considerable distance inshore but
this report is denied at the office
of the company. Mr. Pollister
stated, in answer to an inquiry,
that the big block of cement has
not been moved in the least but
that one corner of the tower had
been slightly raised. The com
pany has, however, a number of
men at work taking down the
cable today.
The great pressure of ice yester
day afternoon resulted in the tow.
er on the caisson of the Alaska
Lighterage Company being thrown
down. The big structure is ac
the present living on its side on
;op of a large ice heap piled up on
the cement base. Front ail ap
pearances the tower will have to be
replaced by a new structure.
Persons who have been watching
| matters closely assert that there is
no doubt that the big block 0f
cement forming the base of the
cableway tower has been moved
from its former position a consid
erable number of feet. The tower
is said to be practically worthless
or its former uses, having been
severly strained and broken.
A strange device carrying with
it an odor like gasoline and making
a racket like an auto with a busted
thing-me-bob- passed through the
streets last night about dusk creat
ing a considerable amount of at
tention from the evening shoppers.
Seated on the queer contraption
- was a well known young man who
was guiding its erratic course by
dint of much muscular exertion in
cluding a libera! application of
much leg power. The machine
was not a strange visitor from
Mars or some other remote sphere,
as might haveoccured to some, but
was nothing more than a motor
sled built by a local mechanical
genius who has high h opes that
he has secured a strangle hold on
the winter transportation problem.
The machine worked fairly well,
but some defects will have to be
remedied before it can be called a
complete success.

GERMAN") AGAIN TiJES
TO -JI Ti IE FACT?
t* >.r.ce Rupert Daily News)
Belg-an document, made public
'V 1 ngten, D. C., jus month have s
dene r uch to pro : conclusively ;
that t-ermany has endeavored to
c',nc«ni the murder, .apine and de
vasutfn which followed her inva
s on oi Belgium. In order that 1
lie.giun, might not make known to
the world the true conditions exist- 1
ing the German military authori
ties of the occupied sections have
gone so far as to suppress Belgian j
papers and prohibit the publication
of the : :al facts.
The real object of this work of
suppression is said to be to keep
from the outside world the indust
rial wreckage wrought by the Ger
mans. This destruction of facto
ries, removal of raw materials, ex
porting of food and diverting of
factories to the use of the German
army has left Belgium without
support. It practically amounts
to knocking the crutches from un
der a maimed man.
Belgium is destitute as a result.
The Belgians remaining at home
are without means of earning a
livelihood, no matter how eager
and willing they are to do so.
| Little wonder, when the Germans
gaze about, they are loath to let
, the world know what they have
done. Little children, helpless,
some of them orphaned by the war
are starving and perishing in the
cold, because they have no food
j and because their elders have no
means of earning the money ne
cessary to buy the food were it
there to be purchased.
The Belgian Relief Committee
is Germany's answer. This com
mittee is the voice of humanity ans
wering the murder of innocents.
If the conqueror cannot be gener
ous Canada will be. Already ilie
bags of flour, the cheques for $2,50
are pouring in and through the Bel
gian Relief branch at Montreal,
Canada will not let these victims of
the German iron heel perish.

• RESTORING FATIGUED MUSCLE
A very ingeneous physiological
method of increasing the yield of
labor from any given group of
muscles is described in the Deuts
che Revue. According to an abs
tract in Die LTmschau the author,
T. Webber, claims that in practice
a gain of from 22 to 40 per cent is
obtainable in the amount of work
done. When the given group of
j muscles has reached the point of
| exhaustion due to the accumulation
of the products of fatigue, they
are allowed to rest, while an entire
ly different muscle group is set to
work vigorously. The energetic con
traction of these muscles causes an
I increase in heart action and circu
! lation, and the strengthened current
j of blood thus sent to all parts of
i the body partially restores the
i working power of the first group
| of muscles by carrying away fa
j tigue toxins and supplying oxygen.
