SEWARD BECOMES AIR BASE
So suddenly that few were aware of its coming, Seward almost j
overnight has become an important air base with organizations j
stepping into the field, prepared to bridge all of Alaska with air travel. J
With the introduction of the air service, come families who will j
add materially to Seward’s social life.
The advent of these services will have a tremendous influence in i
hastening Seward’s progress, and will assist materially in the develop- ;
ment of the surrounding country.
Steps are underway for the introduction of an air prospecting or
ganization. Thus, the outlook is bright for a large volume of business
and at the same time discerning what is in the nearby hills by securing j
aerial photographs of evidences through which prospectors will be
guided to promising regions.
Thus, Seward has a portion of the cream of Alaska airmen, assur
ing net only the acme of safety, but a service unsurpassed anywhere.
WHAT HAS CONE BEFORE?
The ancient Greeks created a galaxy of gods and portrayed them
as guiding the destinies of man. Among them were good and evil. Where j
the Greeks discovered the idea, if they discovered it at all. history does
not make clear, but the psychological effect of these spirits, as they i
are termed, exists today. When, recently, a believer in the ancient
mythology attempted to explain it to a group of listeners, they voted i
silently that he had missed too many boats. But let us see if he is jus
tified in liLsf belief.
It has come to light that radio waves have exercised beneficial, as
well as baleful, effects upon individuals. Manifestations, such as a ;
program being recorded upon a woman's bedsprings, sent her into hys- ;
terics, another found her bathroom mirror talking to her, w7hile a pa
tient, supposed to be suffering the hallucinations that radio waves
were causing distress, was relieved when clad in a metallic net corset.
Now learned alienists are grappling with the theory that demented
persons are the victims of psychic phenomena, which may properly be 1
termed radiactive vibrations, which continue while the patient sleeps, j
Now, to get back to our Greek friend who told us that illness, crime, |
happiness, distress, etc., are the product of invention by spirits, many
of whom exist in the flesh today—a sort of reincarnation—that they can !
secure and retain control of an individual and work their will.
Which brings us back to the dawn of history and the manifestations j
then called miracles, black magic and sundry other names. Modern
man believes he has outstripped the ancients and the savages, has de
bunked biblical phenomena, including the miracle of the birth of
Christ. Can he prove that he has outstripped what has gone before, or
is he just catching up with what the sages of the ancient races knew
thousands of years ago?

interested in the promotion of min
