IMMENSE MARINE
• Continued from yesterday)
What we call a Xu^on or basket
sled is termed “ekamrak”. A sled
deg is called “kemuqta” and the
leader of the team is called “cheu
lista”. Sorcery has a great hold on
Eskimos; in every village of any
size there will always be found one
or more sorcerers. These men are
called in to perform incantations
over the sick and frequently there
are solemn public seances held in
the kazhga. The seaserpent is fre
quently represented in carving on
the ivory pipes of the Innuit. Al
tho there are no snakes in Arctic
Alaska still the word is known as j
“cgx chesirpak.”
There is a widespread belief
among the Innuit regarding an j
immense marine monster which i
devours whales. It is called “aqhlu.” j
If a hunter ventures to camp for !
the night on one of the lofty peaks
he will be carried off by the irsnin- :
hrat or mountain spirits to their,
abode. There are supposed to be j
three doors to one of their abodes.

DOING A GOOD JOB
Some anxiety has been express
; ed with regard to whether oi
not Seward’s new school will be
completed and ready for the
opening day of 1929-30 term on
September 3. In answer to this
it is said Contractor Johnsen
could have been out of it long
ago but has been and is still do
ing considerable additional work
uncalled for in his cpntract. Tak
ing pride in his work the com
pleted structure will reflect his
handicraft in many ways. In any
case, it won’t be long -now!
LUTHERAN SERVICES
On Sunday July 28th Lutheran
services will be held at the Episco
pal church in the evening at 7:30.
The subject of the sermon will be:
“A man’s religion put to the test”.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all. The Word of God is food for
our souls. “The Word of God, no
more, no less. The World’s redemp
tion and redress.”
H. KURING.
Miss Sylvia Sexton, proprietress
of “Sylvia’s” returned home last

she spent a few days visiting
friends.

?arth, the second leads to heaven,
md the last to hell. The next

nake his own choice as to which

;arth, he will find on his return
lome, that he has long been count

light spent as captive of the irs

jA double bottom runs the entire
'length of the ship. She is equipped
iwith every safety device known to
marine engineers.
I It is the ship’s funnels, more
‘than anything else which give the
Bremen her characteristic appear
ance, markedly different from that
of any other ship. Their unusual
; shortness, in the first place, give
i her an air of lying deep in the
(water. It is said that one of these
funnels could be slipped over a
four-story apartment building with
room to spare.
The ship is manned by a corps of
30 engineers, in addition to a large
| staff of assistants, mechanics and
electricians.
i In order that nothing be left un
done to make the ship one of ser
jvice, a new method of ship-to

As a regular feature of every trip
of the Bremen, and in order to fa
ciliate mail delivery, a mail plane
will take off from the ship when j
within about 500 miles of the port
of arrival, thus making delivery of I
the ship’s mail one day before the
ship reaches port.

ACT IS DEFENDED
The present Alaska Workmen’s
Compensation Act was defended
at Juneau as fair and just both
to capital and labor, by L. H.
I Metzger, general superintendent
jof the Alaska Juneau Gold Min
! ing company. Its repeal would
I be a blow to both employer and
employee in the mining industry.
The substitution of a State in
dustrial insurance system admin
istered by a commission would
be impracticable and burden
some, he informed the Empire.
