CLASSICAL DANCER WILL
APPEAR AT ORPHEUM
Mile. Athm'ore Grey, who has
leased the Orpheum for Friday
and Saturday nights recently ap
peared in Cordova and drew a
large audience. The Cordova Al
askan prints the following report
of her performance:
“She is a classical dance'r of
the English type, and is a thor
ough artist. Never before has
Cordova had an opportunity to
witness such an exceptional re
petoire that included Ituhen
stein’s “Yalse Caprice,” Mendel
ssohn's “Spring Song,” Grieg's
“Anilra’s Dance,” and "Dance of
the Gnomes,” as well as several
modern selections, ller ditlicult
and artistic presentation of the
several classics brought out
much applause. Her own inter
pretation of “Salome,” the dance
of the seven veils, was possibly
Mile. Grey’s best work in which
her graceful action was shown
to advantage. Her gestures and
actions in all her dances are po
etic and graceful, and not calla
ble of any misconstruction.”

ALASKA KELP BEDS
BEING INVESTIGATED
Dr. T. U. Frye and R. B. Wy
lie, professors of botany in the
University of Washington, with
Dean Wyniek, senior, chemist
and photographer, also of the
University of Washington, came
into port on their splendid gas
boat the Krma, Thursday after
noon for some supplies, and left
the next morning traveling leis
urely on Ihdir way to Juneau and
other places.
-This parly of scientists left
Seattle several weeks ago for the
purpose of investigating the ex
tent of, and quality of kelp as a
commercial possibility. Dr. Frye
said that so far a vast area of
kelp beds have been found,
“enough to burn''’ as the doctor
said. An acurate map is beiug
made of all the places visited,
the extent of the bdds, quality
and kinds found. There are three
varieties of kelp which may be
’sued commercially, according to
Dr. Frye, and the kind which car
ries a large “bulb” at the end. is
considered the best.
The investigation will he con
joined by I he parly for another
four or five weeks before return
ing to Seattle, where a report will
be made public, which will be
followed by much activity in that
industry, as tile keip is here to
furnish the world with the pro
ducts.— Petersburg progressive.

The Alaska Water, Light &
telephone company report that
workmen who were sent across
the bay to complete the power
plant have succeeded in con
note ting the new steel pipe with
the wooden one and no more an
noyance will be experienced from
lack of power. All the water
which comes from the basin will
pass through the pipes and will
be suffieiem to generate many
limes the amount of power re
quired.
The work of raising the dam
to ils full height will begin to
day. The concrete and other
necessary materials are already
on the ground and the work of
cementing the dam to prevent
loss of water will be completed
during the present month. When
the dam is complete the extra
water will he impounded until
the immense reservoir, which
covers between twelve and thir
teen acres, has risen to the
height of the dam, which will be
22 feet high.
A Mile-long Bridge Rebuilt In

Some feals of exl raordinarv

Fighting in the Air.
In the war uf Ihe future shall
we see aeroplane pilled against
aeroplane? II may lie. and yel
there are dilf icullies. In I lie
lirst place, the atmosphere over
modern fortifications and over
Ihe territory occupied by a mod
ern army is vast, t'nless oppo
ing single aeroplanes deliberate
ly ferrrl each other out, il may
happen very naturally llial they
may be miles apart.
There is a psychological side to
this situation. In his novel,
“When the Sleeper Wakes." II.
,<j. Wells surmise’s the stress of
a eombal between aeroplanes in
(hi* air would prove too much for
twenty-second century courage
Jiulgarian and Turkish aero
planes. scouting al Tidialal.ja, did
■ ml allack one allothei'.-perhaps
because there nius.l la’ a reversal*
uf | lie psychology of braving an
attack from the ground. The
ground is so remole—on such a
different plane; bill a machine
rushing Ihrough the air al ex
press I rain speed is fearfully on
Ihe same plane, and lias the po
tentiality of getting so unpleas
antly close that it over-empha
si/es the danger of Hying per se.
A man without skates on smooth
ice, or without spiked shoes on
the top of a narrow steeple, is
not aggressively inclined; the
)uilitary aviator is in no more
favorable position. To exchange
rillc shots at great distances is
psychologically too indecisive.
On the other hand, if the oppos
ing pilots approach each other
at. a)l closely, either may find
himself rushing along into a sit
uation as desperate for him as it
is for his enemy.
Perhaps the lirst whole-heart
gd aerial attack in modern war
fare will be delivered from a very
large and safe* dirigible, a craft
that can al least boast of a prac
tical bring platform, notwith
standing the danger of conllagra
tion. The fact that Zeppelins
have been armed with machine
guns shows whither the tendency
