SUN ECLIPSE AUGUST 31
An eclipse of the sun, total over a portion of the New
England states and partial throughout the rest of the
country, will occur on the afternoon of August 31, one
week from next Wednesday, affording millions of people
the opportunity to witness this most striking celestial
phenomenon.
The extent of the eclipse will vary from total in por
tions of the East to only 10 per cent on the Pacific coast.
In the Middle West and in the Southeastern States from
50 to 75 per cent of the sun’s face will be obscured as the
moon passes across it.
The earth is the only planet in our solar system with
a moon large enough to make a total eclipse of the sun
possible. Mercury and Venus have no moons at all; Mars
has two, but they are only about five to 10 miles in diam
eter, so would only show as small black spots when cross
ing the sun’s face. The larger planets have several moons,
but none are large enough to eclipse more than a slight
fraction of the sun.
An endless source of wonder to the layman is the
ability" of astronomers to predict occurrences of eclipses
with unerring accuracy years and even centuries in ad
vance. It is known, for example, that a total eclipse of the
sun will be visible along the southern border of the Unit
ed States from California to Florida on August 12,2045—
or 113 years hence. The eclipse which will occur on the
last day of this month was predicted and described in
great detail in a work published in Vienna 50 years ago.
But if we can not understand how these wonderful
spectacles of the skies are predicted, we may witness them
as occasion offers and marvel at the mind of man which
has discovered so many of nature’s secrets.
It is announced that Cuba will put a heavy duty on
brass. Getting down to brass tax, as it were.
The new- costume suggested for Andrew Mellon, am
bassador to St. James, is that of a bull fighter. Quite ap
propriate.
Judged by the underground fcravelways and the sky
scrapers of New York one-half have dug in and the other
half is up in the air.

WELL KNOWN CATERER
NOW SERVES SEMITES
For many ye"hrs one of the best
known caterers in Alaska, Fred
Cope, who now conducts the Mer
chants Grill—Seward’s newest and
most popular cafe—again voices an
invitation to the public to come in
sometime and get acquainted. His
one ambition is to give Seward an
eating establishment comparible to
the best found anywhere.
Mr. Cope enjoyed long exper
ience in the well-known DD Cafe,
at Anchorage, where he was chef
for a number of years and built up
a splendid reputation for the ex
cellence of his cooking and perfect
serving.
While the name of the establish
ment has been changed, the bakery
department will be continued, as
will be seen in their advertisement
in this issue, where the choicest of
bread, cakes, pies and the dozen
and one things which go to make
up a first class bakery stock, will
be handled.
CAPT. BERGER SUED
The Alaska Railroad has filed
suit against Capt. Heinie Berger
for about $20,000, it is understood,
the case arising from a long-winded
dispute over wha_rfage charges at
Anchorage, which rate, it is alleged,
were suddenly tripled on the masj
ter mariner of these waters. Attor
ney Sweet, prominent Anchorage
lawyer, represents Captain Berger,
and according to the betting, quite
a law-battle will ensue.
Representing the Debenture Pro
tective Committe of the Alaska
Gold Company’s bonds, G. E. Cleve
land, assistant cashier of the B. M.
Behrend’s bank of Juneau, bought
all of the real and personal prop
erty of that company, locally known
as the Thane property. His bid of
$100,000 was the only one tendered.
WAKE UP YOUR
LIVER BILE—
WITHOUT CALOMEL
And You’ll Jump Out of Bed in
the Morning Ratin’ to Go
If you fed sour and sunk mad the world
looks punk, don't swallow a lot of Baits,
mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing
gum and expect them to make you suddenly
sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
For they can’t do it. They only move the
bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at
the cause. The reason for your down-and-out
feeling is your liver. It should pour out two
pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
If this bile is not flowing freely, your food
doesn’t digest. It just decays in the bowels.
Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a
thick, bad taste and your breath is foul,
skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head
aches and you feel down and out. Your whole
system is poisoned.
It takes those good, old CARTER’S
LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two
pounds of bile flowing freely and make you
feel “up and up.” They contain wonderful,
harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing
when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter'*
Iattle Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter’*

PLENTY OF WATER
Flood waters rose Tuesday almost
level with the radio road on that
section beginning at the aviation
field and covered the Christiansen
ranch to a considerable extent. The
culverts under the road were carry- l
ing full loads but still could not care j
for the backwaters fast enough. |
However, it has been much worse.
The east wing of the golf course
was also submerged, a diving suit
being needed by golf ‘nuts’ if they
insisted in playing. The flume is in
tact still.
OLDTIMER CALLED
Alexander Grant, 76 years of
age, an oldtimer of the Bristol bay
region and a member of the Dil
lingham Lodge of Alaska Pioneers,
passed away Monday at Anchorage
He had been a sufferer from can
cer and only recently entered the
hospital.
The inclement weather in Sew
ard has not been local but general,
according to reports north, south,
east and west.
As was announced in Tuesday’s
Gateway, a musicale will be pre
sented at the Cimmunity church, j
beginning at 7:30 p. m. today, by
the pupils of Mrs. Francis Groth.
