THE EARLIEST ALASKANS
Alaska is much in the limelight in the States due to
the theory that the progenitors of the Indian came from
Siberia across Bering Strait to Alaska and that descend- j
ants of these ancients made their way to the Pacific North-1
west and then spread to the rest of the continent, Siberi-1
an and Alaskan natives possess many characteristics in
common, and between Alaskan and other American in
dians there are remarkable resemblances.
The scientists who are now in the Interior of the Ter
ritory on the trail of the original Americans will be ren
dered every assistance in their efforts to determine if their
theory is correct.
In other words, pioneers will search for the earlier
pioneers.

CLICK OF OYSTERS INTERFERES WITH RADIO
Mysteriosu noises of the sea are seriously interfering
with the under water radio work of the Coast and Geo
detic Survey on the Atlantic coast, the chief of the Sur
vey division of hydrography and Topography, announced.
“We are listening perhaps to the click of the ayster
instead °f the sound of the bomb signal in our radio ac
coustic work,” said Commander Parker. “For the last
four years we have been developing methods to accurately
locate our ships when beyond the range of visibility of j
shore objects.”
According to the report the oysters and clams on the
Pacific coast have not acquired the habit of “gargling
their soup” or smacking their lips on some aquatic tit-bit.
AVIATION FIELD MUST BE BUILT
One thing these Atlantic flights and airplane activi
ties in Alaska are teaching Seward is that a local field
must be made available immediately. In the first place
Seward is losing revenue every day due to the fact that
there is no regular field; second, the publicity which is
daily being lost. The Seward Chamber of Commerce avi
ation committee should leave no stone unturned in mak
ing the local field a reality at once.
The small Pons-Winnicke comet will approach within
3,500,000 miles of the earth on June 26, which is closer
than most comets ever come.
We might be willing to exchange our war debt claims
for some well secured bonds of peace.
