HUM WILD LITE.
HOLT SET FORTH
Alaska is again indebted to
William A. Finley, noted natural
ist who has spent a number of
years in the Territory and who
lectures each winter throughout
the United States. One of his
most recent lectures was given
before the Board of Education,
Atlantic City. New Jersey, in the
Senior high school auditorium.
The lecture was presented under
the auspices of The American
Nature Association and the next
day the following article ap
peared in the Press:
“From the ice-bound tundras of
Alaska, William A. Finley brought
to the auditorium of the high ,
school last night, a remarkable j
series of films depicting wild life j
in Uncle Sam’s attic. Mr. Fin
ley, sponsored by the American
Nature Association supplemented
the visualization with descriptive
detail which was received with
pleasure by the large portion of
the Atlantic City public that is
attracted by these educational
stories provided by the board of
education.
"All types of bird and beast
that inhabit ‘America’s stepchild’
came into view as Mr. Finley and
his party sailed along the rock
bound coast of southeastern Al
aska and about the volcanic Al
eutian Islands that extend across
Bering Sea almost to Asia. The
patience and the difficulties at
tached to shooting some of the
close-ups of caribou, silver fox,
ptarmigan, kingfishers, sea lions,
salmon, whales and seals, stamp
ed Mr. Finley as more than a
naturalist; for only the true lov
er of wild life could make such
interesting observations and as
siduous search for subjects.
“On one of the inland excur
sions a pair of bear cubs were
found and carried with the ex
pedition. These playful little beasts
were the merry Andrews of the
illustrated talk and became so en
deared to the audience that when j
tragedy overtook one there was I

a murmur of sympathy through
the auditorium.
Interesting, too, was burst
ing of the popular nption that
Alaska was a land of frigidity.
Mr. Finley revealed that only in
the center portions is there snow
all the year around. But along
the coast there is the same cli
mate that Oregon or Washington
enjoys. Another informing bit was
the size of this territory which
stretches farther than the dis- j
tance from New Orleans to Du- 5
luth. ,
“Mr. Finley also told of the re- j
strict ions on the destruction of j
salmon and seal so that they wlil ;
be preserved for future genera
tions and made an appeal to his
listeners to get closer to nature
so that they, too, may enjoy the
happy experiences and adventures j
in stalking wild life with a cam
era.”
Alaska embraces about 570,000
square miles of territory.

deeply; take plenty of
exercise in the mel

have a periodic check
up on the health of
