Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
November is a month when me
teors are frequently seen shooting
across the sky. Meteors are be
lived to have their origin in dis
integrated comets moving round
the sun in orbits of their own.
Our knowledge of these bodies
is limited to a few which collide
with the earth. The energy of
their motion is changed into heat
upon entering our atmosphere.
This speedily vaporizes their en
tire substance, leaving a visible
train in the sky.
Few if any meteors appear at
greater heights than 100 miles,
and few below 30 miles. The lu
minous tracks pass thru the upper
atmosphere and can be recorded
with great precision by photog
raphy.
If a meteor passes completely
thru the atmosphere and reaches
the surface of the earth, it is
called a meteorite. Many meteor
ites have been collected and are
on display in museums.

Unemployment Fund
$7 1 3,850.28 In The Red
JUNEAU — A report on the
status of the Unemployment Com
pensation Fund was released to
day by Merrill E. Weir, Director
of the Alaska Employment Secur
ity Commission.
As of Oct. 25, 1956 the balance
in the Unemployment Compensa
tion Fund was $2,936,149.72. Since
there is a court order impounding
$650,000 of these funds the actual
balance of currently available
funds is reduced to $2,286,149.72.
There is a liability of $3,000,000
to the Federal Unemployment Ac
count, due to a loan from the
Federal government and when
this loan is deducted from the
$2,936,149.72 balance above, the
result is a deficit balance of
$63,850.28. The $650,000 of im
pounded funds is a contingent
liability against the Unemploy
ment Compensation Fund and if
that is also deducted, the result
is a deficit balance of $713,850.28.
