The following is practically a literal translation
from the Russian taken from the manuscript of Fr.
Gedeon, priest-monk of the Alexandro-Nevsky Cathe
dral, Moscow, Russia, and was written in Kodiak be
tween 1804 and 1807. It has never before appeared in
print.

ACCURACY
Accuracy is essential in re
searches and is the foundation of
everything, so one’s imagination
must be restrained within limits
of reason or probability; our feet
must remain on terra firma, re
gardless of how high our imagina
tions soar, all being children of
nature yet despite care, occasional
errors have a way of creeping in
to histories, more so in transla
tions where notes are voluminous,
but seldom intentionally.
However, this is not a disserta
tion on the Shield of Achilles, but
merely some references to Fr. Ge
deon’s manuscript, viz; page 77,
“At 1 o'clock (July 4, 1804) we
passed the American ship Ocean,
anchored at Kodiak;” page 110,
“The 1804 epidemic occurred at the
time of our arrival on the Amer
ican-Bostonian vessel Ocean from
the California coast; “page 4, “Let
ter from Administrator Baranov
to Fr. Gedeon, anent the loss of
the ship Phoenix in 1799, which
had on board the first Bishop of
Kodiak, Rev. H. E. Ioasaf, his staff
and costly vestments, all being
lost”. Apparently Fr. Gedeon voy- i
aged from Hawaii to Alaska on the
ship Ocean instead of the ship
Phoenix, a s previously stated.
Controversies may thus be avoid
Thus having said we return to a
consideration of the inner man,
in distress:—
THERAPEUTICS
The object of therapeutics, em
pivic or otherwise, is to relieve the
suffering, maintain the health,
and if passible, cure the disease.
Hence, the aboriginal methods as
contrasted with present methods
(1531), may be of passing interest.
Diseases have ever been—crux
medieorum.

Advanced Refrigeration
Continually working for the ad
vancement of domestic electric re
frigeration, engineers of Frigidaire
Corporation have made it possible
for this General Motors subsidiary
this year to present a household
refrigerator with many refinements
and improvements, according to an
announcement by the local repre
sentative. Economy, efficiency and
beauty have been the guiding stars
of these engineers and as a result
the Frigidaire of today operates at
much lower cost, freezes more ice
cubes faster, has an interior and
exterior finish of durable white
porcelain-on-steel and provides
more shelf space than before.
