AN EXAMPLE OF
WAR’S ATROCITIES
SAM MANDICH IN UNMARKED
SERBIAN GRAVE.
(Juneau Empire.)
Sam Mandich, former leader of
the Servian colony of Gastineau
channel, and well known to every
one, is dead in Austria- The word
of his death was brought to Juneau
by Bosko Samazich, who just re
turned from the Austrian and Ser
vian battle front
Mr- Samazich says that on Janu
ary 16th, he was in Corfu, Greece,
and word was received there from
th^ American consul in Austria, that
a batch of 160,000 captured Servians
had been lined up in front of ma
chine guns and shot down by the
Austrians. The massacred people
were those borne in Austria of
Servian parents and were considered
traitors when they fought with the
Servians. Sam Mandfch was among
the martyrs and now lies in some
unmarked grave .along the Servian
frontier, having forfeited his life
for his mother country
Mr. Samazich tells a tale of hor
ror and bloodshed which is unbeliev
able in these supposedly civilized
days. He tells of the capture and
execution of one party of 30,000
soldier^ of the Servian army. The
party was captured early in the
war between Bulgaria and Servia
and were immediately lined up and
shot down with machine guns. They
were given no chance for their life,
although when they surrendered,
they thought they would be treated
as prisoners of war.
He tells of seeing the Austrian
soldiers take young Servian girls
and tie them around hay stacks
with thongs and then set fire to
the hay, the girls being burned to
death- He tells of the destruction
of a church in Laiskovac in which
were nearly 150 women and child
ren- This church was captured by
the Austrians and was immediately
set on fire, after the doors had
been locked
Mr. Mamazich left Juneau in com
pany yvith 12 other Servians and
Montenegrins when the war broke
out and of the entire party only
two remain alive. One of the party
is still with the Allies at Salonikl.
and Mr. Samazich has returned to
Juneau.
I AN ASTRONOMER EXPLAINS
WHY THE SKY IS BLUE
Sunlight, which we call white, is
composed of light rays of different
colors—red, orange, yellow, green,
blue, indigo and violet, says an as
tronomer. It can be broken up into
its constituent colors in various
ways- If it passes through a trans
parent prism (like the crystals that
hang from a chandelier) or if it
falls on a surface which has al
most invisibly minute irregularities
(like mother-of-pearl or the wing
of a butterfly) we see the rays into
which sunlight has been separated
These phenomena are observed
when light is not obserbed.
"Hold a piece of red glass In
front of a flame and we see only
red. Rays of all other colors have
been absorbed- The natural colors
of tho objects we see about us,
leaves, flowers, books and chairs, de
pend upon absorption. A green leaf
throws back chiefly green rays; the
rest are absorbed- So, the natural
color of everything in nature is the
unabsorbed residue from full white
light
A swarm of minute particles,
scattered in the path of white light,
will break it up, like the surface of
mother-of-pearl- If the, particles hap
pen to be of just the right size
and the spaces between them just
the right distance, they will ab
sorb rays of one color any throw off
the rest. The atmosphere is filled
with countless dust particles, and
their size and spacing is such th&t
they scatter rays which we call sky
blue. Nearer that horizon, larger
particles turn the blue into white:
this happens above a dusty town
and when mists or clouds hang
above us
All that is left of white sunlight
after passing through many miles
of blue-scattering air, appears in the
NAVY DEPARTMENT IS

VALLEJO, April 28.—Orders were

owners of vessels suitable for ser
vice be instructed to report at the

been appointed to inspect and re
port to the navy department what
amount of repairs and the cost of
the work that would be necessary
to adopt the vessels in question to

METLAKATLA TEACHERS LEAVE
FOR HOMES IN STATES.
The school term having ended at
Metlakatla last Friday, the teachers
arrived in town Sunday, and left
on the Jefferson for their homes
last evening.
Miss Gertrude Wybrant, whoso
home is in Seattle since the past
few years, has every right to call
herself an Alaskan, having lived as
far north as St. Michael with her
parents when only' a small child
and later at Seward where the
most of her school years were spent.
It is sincerely hoped that Miss Wy
brant may return in our vicinity
again sometime soon. Miss Agnes
Danford is from the Webb Foot I
State and is now to make a visit ,
at her home in Ashland, and ex- :
pects to return north next autumn. !
Miss Beinerth is a San Francisco :
girl, who is making all haste to
reach her sunny hom^ State. These
young ladies have been frequent vis
itors in the city during the winter
and have made a host of friends
here who will be glad to see them
come back again

| REFLECTIONS OF A f
BACHELOR GIRL |
*_•
(By Helen Rowland, in P.-I.)
A man never seems to be half so
worried about the temptations he
may meet in this life as he Is
about those he may miss
* • *
Always accept a man’s first kiss
with surprise, his second with a
blush, hi s third with reluctance, his
fourth with enthusiasm — and the
rest with a grain of salt
* * *
Poor man! Just about as he has
become accustomed to the erratic
angle of his wife’s midwinter hat.
she bursts upon him in her brand
new Easter “fantasy,” and he has
to begin getting acclimated all over
again. •
* * *
Man’s chief occupation in this
world appears to be making love;
woman’s, trying to find some sort
of sentimental benzoate of soda
which will keep it after it has been
made
* * *
A man always remembers the
first kiss longest—a woman, the last,
because that’s the one each of them
had the most trouble in getting.
* * *
Most men seem to regard matri
mony as a sort of fox-trot. No mat
ter how often they -fall at it, they
want to try again; no matter how
smoothly it goes, they are always
ready for an encore
* * *
A bachelor used to go about look
ing for a girl who could be kissed;
but, alas, nowadays he goes about
looking just as eagerly for one who j
doesn’t have to be kissed
♦ * *
Motto for g'-wife: Be sure you’re
right—then stop talking about it!

hues of sunset- The size and spacing
of dust particles as well as the an
gle at which sunlight strikes them,
determines the color of the sky.
On the moon where there is no
atmosphere and no dust, the sky is
jet black at noon- The sun appears
as a vividly disk in an inky canopy
That is also true of the vast space
which exists between the stars.
