illustrative of the fridigity of the Alas
kan weather. 1t is said, but we will not
youch for the truthfulness Of the asser-
ton, that a poor fellow possessed oil rich
relatives succumbed to the cold and his
remains were sent to the states. They
were taken to the crematory and there
offered for cremation. After the body
had been subjected to the intense heat
for a period of two hours or more the
person in charge informed the relatives
that within a few minutes he would de-
liver to them the ashes. The door of
the oven had no more than been opened
when the command came from within:
"For Gods sake close that door! This
is the first time Iye been warm for two
years."-Ex.
