Nenana Sourdoughs Offer
predictions for Early May
Kiver Ice Breakup
Special to the Nome Nugget
Saturday at midnight marked
the close of the great event at Ne
nana and with the weather more
stable the oldtimers are ventur
ing a few guesses. Alfred Linder,
a retired trapper who has been
many breakup's here at Nenana,
predicts the breakup will be
about the 8th to the 15th of May,
Other than that he says if he knew
the exact day he wouldn’t be tell
ing. Adolph Nelson, a retired pros
pector, says the same. To sum it
up the sourdoughs are always
close but never seem to hit the
exact minute. It’s always the chee
Chako with the blind guess that
wins.
Keith Hedreen reports that
3.351 Ice Classic tickets have been
bought in Nome.

FRIDAY BASKETBALL
BROUGHT OUT "SUBS'*
Last Friday night in the benefit
games at the School, the Panthers
soundly defeated the Wolverines,
39 to 26. Both teams were com
posed of Explorer Scouts. It was
too much Johnny Hermann and
Freddie Kungesuk, as they scored
18 and 11 respectively to beat the
hard-playing Wolverines.
The original Liniment Squad
failed to materialize, and so a
pick-up group of High School boys
played the B.T.’s in the second
game. It was a close game all the
way, with the B.T.’s edging out
their opponents in the final sec
onds of play, 26 to 25.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
The inferior planets occasionally
transmit, or cross directly in front
of the sun, at inferior conjunction.
They then have the appearance of
dark spots against the sun’s disk.
Mercury is too small to be seen
without a telescope on such occa
sions. Transits of Venus can be
viewed without a telescope.
About thirteen transits of Mer
cury occur in the course of a cen
tury. The latest transit on Novem
ber 14, 1953, was entirely visible.
The transit before it, on November
11, 1940, was partly visible in the
United States.
Transits of Venus are less fre
quent. They occur at present in
pairs, separated by 8 years at in
tervals of somewhat more than a
century. There were transits in
December, 1874, and December,
1882. The next two are scheduled
for June 8, 2004, and June 6, 2012.
The condition necessary for a
transit is that the earth must be
near the line of the nodes of the
planet’s orbit.
