Alaska is a pleasant place to live in, not.
withstandng all polar bear and iceberg
stories. The climate of the islands and of all
that part Of the mainland that is bathed by
the warm ocean currents from Japan, is re.
markably bland and temperate and FREQ
from extremes Of heat or cold throughout tho
year. There is great deal of rainy weather,
but it is Of good quality, mild in temperature,
gentle in its fall filling the fountains of
tho deep, cool rivers, feeding the MOSES
and trees and keeping the whole land fresh
and fruitful. out Of 147 days, beginning May
II, rain fell on sixty.fyo days, and forty.three
were cloudy; but on some Of these days the
rain lasted only n few minutes, and hardly
any could be called stormy or dismal Tho
wettest Of this weather seems to be perfectly
healthy, and there is no mildew in the houses.
Thunder is rarely heard-a flash and a
clap, faint aud far away, once in two or three
years. The cause of so much rain is found in
the vapor.ladon winds from Japan.
