ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
This Christmas season will be j
heralded in by the planet Jupiter,
the largest of all the planets. Like
a star in the east it is now beau
tifully visible just before dawn.
Jupiter’s equatorial diameter is
88,640 miles, and is 11 times the
earth’s diameter. Its mass exceeds
'the combined mass of all the other
planets. With the exception of
Venus, and occasionlly Mars, this
•planet is the brightest starlike
object in our skies.
Even a small telescope shows
its four bright satellites and dark
cloud belts clearly. Jupiter has
twelve known satellites, the great
est number attending a planet.
. At a distance of almost 500 mil
? on miles, Jupiter revolves around
the sun once in nearly 12 years,
! > it advances one sign of the zo
diac from year to year. Its period
of rotation is about 9 hours and
50 minutes.

LAST CALL FOR ,
THE ROOF GARDEN
•Tomorrow night at the hour of
8 o'clock P. M., the people of
Nome, old and young, will gather
in the high school auditorium' to
dbserve and celebrate the Golden
Anniversary of the Pioneer Roof
Garden in a manner befitting the
occasion.
To those of the community who
have witnessed such annual cele
brations through the years, it will
bring back happy memories of days
gone by, long before the advent
of the airplane, when there was
no travel contact with the outside
world, and the residents had to
provide their own entertainment.
To recent arrivals, the amateur
show will be enlightening and
informative, as it will depict fron
tier life in Alaska before radio
or television were even thought
of. Costumes which have been
heirlooms, preserved more than
half a century, will add consid
erable color and glamour to the
occasion. Russell Hermann, who
is directing the play, says he is
quite proud of the performance.
A last dress rehearsal is sched
uled for tonight after the arrival
of a Wien plane with additional
costumes and perhaps one or more
professionals. Russ is, as usual,
non-committal as to the latter.
The floor committee has so ar
ranged space in the commodious
auditorium that dancing and
other diversified entertainment,
which will follow the play, can
proceed simultaneously, giving
an opportunity to young and old
to choose their form of enjoy
ment. You can send the children
to the fish pond while you are
having your fortune told by an
Egyptian medium.
Hear professional spielers as
they spin the wheel and pass out
corn fed turkeys; hickory smoked
hams, etc. Sit in comfort at the
bingo table and choose your prize
from a varied and valuable as
sortment; visit the Roadhouse,'
sample fine and smacking pioneer
brand of coffee ALL FOR FREE.
All in all, it will be a night long
to be remembered in Nome his
tory as the last Roof Garden be
fore Alaska passes from frontier
Territorial status to her rightful
place as the 491h Stale of the
Union.
