No Colder Than at Archangel in Russia or
PLEA in Sweden, or Uleaborg in Finland.
Dawson, Circle City and Skagua Only Need Steam
Heat, Electric Light and Railroads.


SEATTLE, September S.-When Joseph
Ladue, of Dawson, said that in five years
Alaska would have cities as fine as any
In Russia he made no misstatement.
On, or near, the 65th parallel, where
Circle City, Dawson and Skaguay are To-
Gated, and where other god cities are
sprnging up, there are to-day some of the
finest cities i'll the world. They are in
Russia, which, as the circumference of
the world is small at the Goth parallel is
not over two thousand miles from Alaska.
These cities are cold in winter, to be
sure, but they are by no means uninhab-
liable; on the contrary, they are filled in
winter with gay people, who come from
Stockholm and st. Petersburg, which are
only a few degrees below, to enjoy the
excellent sleighing and 20 participate in
the ice carnival.
Thtle is Archangel for instance, which
is almost directly on the 65th degree. This
has population of 22,000, not counting the
large fcating population, which is swol-
lsn in winter to nearly 10000. Archangel
has beautiful winter residences, and is to
the people of st. Petersburg what the Ad-
irondacks are to the people of the United
States healthy winter resort for con-
sumpt.ves and a place of recreation for
SIMMER resorters.
l. is not at all strange that Alaska
should be thought uninhabitable. When
the Pilgrim Fathers came to this country
they found it extremely difficult to live

is quite celebrated for the softness and

continue. Alaska is abundantly supplied
with lakes and rivers, and underneath the
soil is a moist sub-strata that sends up
it's Jets of water as it is touched by the
boring instruments. The wells that have
been sunk in Circle City have yielded
tremendously Notwithstanding the enor-
nous drain upon them, and in Dawson
there has never been any difficulty in
getting water.
The whole situation is this: Alaska is
at present in a state of not semi-civiliza-
ton, but barbarism. 1t is overrun by
wild animals and in winter becomes a
victim to the cold. 1t freezes in October
and stays frozen until March, AS money
goes there, however, Alaska will improve.
The gold that it sends down will go back
in the form of steam and electric plants,
building material and workmen, and in
another year there will be fine cities
where now there are tents. Skagua,
which grew from nothing TO 10000 inhab-
itants in thirty days, stands a chance of
rivalling Dawson and Circle City. Owing
TO its location on Chilcat Pass, where a
railroad will undoubtedly travel in an
other year, it may become a great centre

mode of divination, and by that means
defrauding the Ignorant and pretending
to foretell many things which from
their nature cannot possibly be fore
told, consequently affording to more in
telligent people opportunities to assail
the value Of even such predictions as

The reproach thus brought upon the
science is unJeserved, for it would be
equally just TO condemn all other
sciences because they numbered among
their professors ignorant pretenders.

The studies preliminary to astrolog-
zeal representation are TWO; the first
in order and power leads to the knowl-
edge of the CONGREGATIONS of the sun,
moon and planets, and of their relative
aspects to each other and TO the earth.
The second takes into consideration the
changes which their aspects by create
by means of tehir natural properties on
the objects of their influence.
That certain elements derived from
nature pervade the whole surface of the
earth, is clearly evident to all men.
These elements are fire, air and water.
They in turn encompass all inferior
matter, acting on vegetable. mineral
and animal substances. The sun con-
tributes to the regulation of all earthly
things, not only by the revolution Of
the seasons does he bring to perfection
the embryo of animals the buds Of
plants, the springs of water and the
disfiguratiOn of minerals, but in his
daily progress he also operates other
changes, such as light. heat, cold
moisture and dryness, dependent on
his position. The moon, being the
nearest to the earth of all the heavenly
bodies, dispenses great influence, and
al things animate and inanimate SYM
pathize and vary with her. By her
changes rivers swell, the tides are
ruled by her. risings and settings
plants and animals expand, and other
phenomena takes place. The planets
likewise in performing their revolu-
tons produce many changes on the
earth, causing heat, winds, storms,
tempests and gales, and the mutual az
poets Of all the heavenly bodies, by
commingling the influence with which
each is invested, produce a multitude
of other changes.
The power of the sun predominates
and the other planets either cooperate

unfortunate young woman more harshly
than would we. They look only at the
