LECTURE IS POPULAR
AND PLEASING
•- •
The third program given by the
Ketchikan Lyceum was rendered
last night. Mr. Robert A. Buch
anan, in presenting his lecture on
Art and Color Photography,” prov'
ed an interesting and pleasing speak
er, mingled with humor and scien
tific thought in a wonderfully Im
pressive manner. The speaker first
*. won his audience with his pleasing
witticisms, then instructed them
with well chosen diagrams and scien
tific explanations. The pictures
themselves were examples of art,
showing that they had been well
selected and that nature’s own col
orings are far superior to those
artificially produced by the brush.
Both in rendering the lecture and
,in presenting the pictures Mr. Buch
anan held the attention of all those
who were present. The lecture
was .a rare treat in every
respect, and will no doubt add much
popularity to the Lyceum numbers.
Mrs. Edmonds rendered a beau
tiful solo which proved popular,
and the audience applauded spon
taneously and vigorously until she
appeared on the platform the second
time.

HERE AND THERE
District Attorney Spence, with
head quarters at Valdez, has insti
tuted criminal proceedings against
the Tillikum Club of that town. The
club until recently maintained a
•buffet in connection with their club
and sold liquor without a license to
its members. When the court of
appeal decided against the legality
of the custom, the club closed its
doors. Now comes the district at
. torney with the action that he has
allowed to do business eversince he
took office, some three years ago.
Under habeas corpus proceedings.
A. Hernandez, a Mexican from
^rangelll, who has been in jail at
-Juneau for some weeks, may be re
leased from custody. He is charg
ed with “concealing a person want
ed for the commission of crime.”
This, his attorneys claim, is no
crime in Alaska.
PIGEONS AS CARRIERS
Pigeons, as commonplace as they
appear, are characters of antiquity.
Dove is the Anglo-Saxon name;
pigeon, the Norman name.
During the fifth Egyptian dynas
ty 3000 years before Christ, it was
the fashion to domesticate pigeons
and to train them as carriers and
messengers. The promptness with
which Ceaser was informed of the
rebellion in Gaul, and thereby en
abled to cross the Alps before
those uprising could possess the en
tire province, was due to the use
of carrier pigeons. In the Cru
sades, these birds were skillful and
faithful messengers.
The price of a handsome pair
of pigeons in ancient Rome was not
a trifle, for Axius, a Roman knight,
once sold a pair of pigeons for 40
denarii—<about 15 pounds in Eng
lish money. At that time, too,
they were by far the swiftest con
veyancers of news, and were much
in demand at the celebration of the
Olympic games.
