ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVORSON
The Lick Observatory was a
pioneer among the great moun
tain observatories. The advantage
of locating astronomical instru
ments in the clear air of high
mountains had occurred to Sir
Isaac Newton early in the eight
eenth century.
No attention was paid to his
idea, however, and for more than
a hundred years telescopes were
usually located near a university
or other cultural center, with
little regard for the quality of 'the
observing conditions.
Then in 1881 a small observa
tory was built on Mt. Etna at an
elevation of nearly 10,000 feet.
At the same time, the Lick Ob
servatory was being built on
Mount Hamilton, and its success
set the pattern for the great ob
servatories that have followed.
Mount Hamilton rises 4,200 feet
above sea level. The crest of the
’ mountain is a narrow ridge ex
tending in an easterly direction
from the main building.

Foreign Tourist
Officials Arrive
For Nome Visit
Two foreign tourist officials
who hope to persuade more Alas
kans to travel to Europe and ex
pect more Europeans to visit
beautiful Alaska arrived in Nome
yesterday during a 12-day tour of
the territory.
Ralph C. Warren, director of
the German Tourist Information
Office, and Carlos S. Pachow of
the Spanish National Tourist Of
fice, both of San Francisco, are
making their first trip to Alaska,
visiting all the major towns.
They are calling on the local
travel offices, airlines and the
press to acquaint them with the
facilities these tourist offices have
to offer. They are equipped with
pamphlets, maps, itineries and
color movies with which they
hope to tempt more Alaskans to
visit Germany, Spain and the rest
of Europe.
Both Warren and Pachow were
very impressed by the unusual
scenic beauty of the territory and
indicated that more of their coun
trymen visiting the United States
should make a side trip to Alaska.
• Together with these two offi
cials were three travel agents
from California: Mr. and Mrs.
Florence G. Edgerly from Bur
banks, Mr. Thomas Rice, of San
Luis Obispo, Miss Florence F.
Rowles, San Francisco, and Mrs.
Claire B. Netz, editor of the “Ho
tel Index.”
The party left for Kotzebue and
Fairbanks today, after visiting
local tourist attractions in order
to attend the annual Western Re
gional Convention of the Ameri
can Socieyt of Travel Agents in
Victoria, B.C. next week.
Tom Martin, who has been han
dling Wien tours this summer,
took the group to Engstrom’s
mine at Basin Creek to pan for
gold. The group also enjoyed a
sightseeing trip in the area.

Scotch Whisky
Has Difficult Time
Getting Into Mexico
MEXICO CITY, (»—One of the
hardest things to import into
Mexico is Scotch whisky. There’s
trouble at both ends.
“We have reluctantly to record
that pilferage and other forms of
skullduggery continue to affect
shipments of Scotch whisky des
tined for Mexico," says “Inter
cambio,” published by the British '
Chamber of Commerce.
“Importers here have for long
suffered from the depredations
carried on in Veracruz, and the
Mexican authorities have recent
ly taken up the matter as consti
tuting something of a national
scandal. ^
“An instance recently came to
our notice in which a whole ship
ment of Scotch was found, on ar
rival, to contain bricks.
“Moreover, some of the said
bricks were recognizable as being
the product of certain Glasgow
factories. It is clear that the sub
terfuge was of British origin.”

U.S. Tells France
What Happened to
American Indian
PARIS GJt—The U.S. embassy is
going to set the French straight
on what happened to the Ameri
can Indian.
The embassy regularly receives
letters from Frenchmen who say
j the Americans exterminated the
Indians and this have no right to
criticize France for fighting the
Algerian rebellion.
| In reply, the next issue of “In
formations et documents,” a
French language review published
by the embassy says:
The Indian population—846,000
in the days of Columbus—dropped
to about 300,000 by the middle of
the 19th century as a result of
tribal wars, drought, disease and
migrations to Mexico and Canada.
Today’s ikdiarf population is
more than 400,000, apart from
those living in paleface commu
nities.
It has been estimated that there
is gold worth $42,000 in a section
of ocean water one mile square
and 89 feet deep.
