WEATHER IN ALASKA AND IN OTHER PARTS
Gradually Alaska’s climate is coming to be better
known and better understood as the best environment
for the hardiest types of the human race. That fact is
exemplified by the thirty millions of robust men and
women in the same latitudes of northwestern Europe,
under the same climatic conditions as Alaska.
But still we are compelled to do a lot of education.
If we have a storm in Seward and other towns of Al
aska, now and then, so do other parts of North America
and Europe, and it becomes our duty as. a loyal and
truthful American to tell the world about it.
Since the first day of last April, how many days
of really bad weather have we had in Sewiard? Very
few and those have been during the last week. And
how many days of really fine weather have we enjoyed
in that time? A great many of them were really
glorious. That is a condition that will continue up to;
near the first of December.
But what of other parts? Let us examine the rec
ords within the last 30 days as they have come in over
the radio:
Washington, D. C.—Three thunder storms. Capitol
and many other buildings struck by lightning. Insuf
ferable heat for many days in succession.
Philadelphia, Pa. — Seventy-mile gale. Torrential
rains, totaling four inches in 24 hours. Hundreds of
homes flooded to the ceilings of the first floors. Loss
$1,000,000. Long spells of terrible heat.
Southern California.—Unprecedented heat for 12
days in succession, burning crops, drying up rivers, caus- i
ing widespread suffering and sickness.
New York City.—Severe rain and electrical storms. |
Subways flooded. * Heat drives hundreds of thousands!
to the ocean beaches.
All the States in the Mississippi Valley—Longest
continued spell of heat in the history of the Weather
Bureau, the thermometer going to 112 in Illnois, Kansas,
Nebraska, South Dakota and in Winnipeg, Canada.
Yes, friends in Seward, and elsewhere in Alaska,
we do have weather in these parts, but not of the brand
that kills. Ours is a stimulating, invigorating, health
giving weather, where we live in comfort and full-blood
ed enjoyment for 365 days of every year.
For real weather, give us Alaska every time.
I
Dial telephones have been removed from the White
House after about a year’s trial. Senators, also, found
the mechanical instruments an unsatisfactory substitute
for hello girls, and jokesmiths hinted that the solons
were too dumb to work the new contraptions.
The next time the Seward Chamber of Commerce
banquets visitors they should have milk on the menu;
milk from the Seward Dairy which for years has been
delivering milk 100 per cent pure; milk made from the
well known contented cows which forage on natural
pasture land.
Oratory has passed for statesmanship in every
phase and period of our political history and many a
man has risen to high office with no other qualification
than his line of “balogna;” his aptitude for epigram
and sonorous peroration.
Few really desire to read nice things in a newspa
per. Trouble? Indeed yes!
There are lots of people you can pray with, but
few to play with.
