One strange thing happened
during the recent wind storm
in Juneau. It picked up a small
brand new cottage that had
been built on a piLing founda
tion on the waterfront below
the court house and turning
the house roof down set it gent
ly in the water of Gastineau
channel. The house had only
been finished one day and the
owner had not moved in which
is probably one thing he can be
thankful for, and yet stranger
things than that have happened
in Juneau.
