Sea Shells
During the spring and summer
whenever the children have been for
a hike along the beach, or on an ex
cursion to some of the little islands
near by, they have collected shells,
many of which are very beautiful
when cured. A nice collection of
these shells is put up in a neat box
and offered for sale, postage prepaid
for 35 cents or a larger collection in a
glass container, which displays the
beautiful colors to better advantage,
for 75 cents.
The pleasant sunny days in August
could be counted almost on the find
ers of one hand. For the most part it
wascoldend wet. In such weather of
course it is impossible to do much m
making dry hay. However when it
was not stormy on the sea the time
was improved in filling the silo.
A number of young men from Wood
Island registered at Kodiak the 6th of
this month for military duty. Mike
Chebitnoy and Willie Kobertson were
amongst the number. Wedonot know
whether on physical examination
they will be tit, but if they are and
are drafted, we have no doubt they
will make brave soldiers or faithful
men wherever they are planed.
Thu 3. S. Farragut spent the whole
day Aug. !1 at Kodiak. As it was
a pleasant day and the water was
smooth we had the pleasure of bring
ing over a number of the passengers
from the steamer to visit the Mission.
The}' all expressed themselves pleased
with what they saw and certainly we
were pleased to have them come and
see what we are doing at the Orphan
age. 1 think from now on we can count
them as friendly to this work. Our
visitors were: A. J. Diehl, Portland,
Ore., Mr and Mrs G. W. Johnson,
Boston, Mass., J. F. Coats, Vancou
