We have been obliged to withdraw
our offer of sea shells, as previously
advertised in this space, as our supply
of a number of specimens has been
exhausted and we cannot secure them
until next season.
Dr. A. R Roberts has opened a
dental office ill Kodiak. He has bad
all the work he could do there the
past two months. When work slack
ened a bit we brought him over to
the Orphauage and titled up our hos
pital for an office for him. Hu speut
two weeks wilh us, doing a good deal
of work for people at the Radio
Station and others on the island, as
well as fixing the teeth of all the
child ien in the Orphauage.
Aside from beiug a very excellent
dentist he is a Christian gentleman
of charming personality. It was a
great delight to us to have him
with in.
The following conversation vm
overheard between two-year-old May
and live-year-old Heldovia.
May: “You didn’t say your manuen,
now nay your manners, say, pardon
me.”
Seldovia: "Oh pardon mo.”
Mr and Mrs Howard Mctliuley who
for seven years taught the Kodiak
School and spent lust year iu the
States returned iu August and are
oiice more iu their old positions much
to the satisfaction, nut only of the
pupils aud patrons of the School but
of the community at large.
Does the telephone sometimes play
tricks? Mrs T. called up one of the
Kodiak stores, uud this is the order
as Mr. O. understood it: "Will you
Bend me twelve pounds of cheese
when the boat comes over please?”
When the cheese was delivered Mrs.
T. said, “What islbisr” The bearer
said, “The cheese yon asked Mr. G.
to send over.” Mrs. T. “1 didn’t
order cheese. 1 said, send me over
twelve cans of peas.”
Winter weatlier came unusually
early this year. Snow fell the 27th.
of October and by night conditions
were not unlike the blizzards we
read of. The lakes froze over in
one night so that they were safe to
skate on. The mercury dropped to
o above zero. With a west wind blow
ing the cold seemed much more se
vere than it really was By the 29th
the hill by I he Mission was in splen
did condition for coasting, and such
a jolly time as the children had,even
if it was necessary to come into the
house every few minutes to get warm.
