Giant Men and Women.

The following remarkable story of the strength and size of the Kings Is- land natives, told by an alleged traveller in Popular Science Notes, rivals some of the tales of the late Baron Munchau- sen. It is herewith republished:
 On Kings Island Indians were found who by their physical characteristics belong to the Innuit or Eskimo family, having small black eyes, high cheek bones and full brown boards which con- ceal their lips. The majority of the men are over six feet high, and the women are usually as tall as and often taller than the men.
 These women are also wonderfully strong. One of them carried off in her birch-bark canoe an eight hundred pound stone for use as an anchor to 8 whaleboat. When it reached the deck of the vessel it required two strong men to lift it, but the Innuit woman had managed it alone. Another wo- man carried on her head box contain ing two hundred and eighty pounds of lead.
 Both men and women are also en- downed with remarkable agility. They will outrun and outjump competitors of any other race who may be pitted against them.
 "Their strength is gained from very poor food, and they frequently travel 30 or 40 miles without eating anything. They live on carrion fish and seal oil. The fish, generally salmon, are buried when caught, to be kept through the winter and dug up as consumption re- quires. When brought to the air they have the appearance of sound fish, but the stench from them is unbearable."

 CARNIVAL
Will Be Held in Golden Gate Hall Jan. P and 2, Instead
 of at A. B. Hall.

The general committee of the mid winter carnival, which the various orders and associations of Nome pro- pose giving on January ? and 23 for the benefit of Holy Cross hospital, held a special meeting last night and de- cided to change the place of carnival from A. B. hall to the Golden Gate hotel, where greater floor space and better facilities for, exhibiting the various attractions are offered. The entire ground floor of the hotel has been placed at the disposal of the com. mittee for the carnival. Only in a general way has the proposed big car- nival assumed shape, but sufficient progress has been made to assure it's success, and when the various features now being worked up by committees in charge are brought together there will be an attraction worth coming from the koufarok to see. Special features will be announced in few days.
 The general plan as worked out at this time embraces the time-honored features of fair and carnival booths, side shows, etc. During inc first even- ing vaudeville performance will be given on the stage, and on the second evening there will be dancing in the main hall. There will be a baby show for Alaska babies exclusively. Dr. Hill and J. Potter Whittren have been designated as the judges thereof. Miner Bruce is working out the de- tails of new and interesting Eskimo exhibit. The side shows will be along new and original lines, and some inter- ssting features are promised. There are thirty-five members of the general committee, and all are working earn estly and in complete harmony for the success of the enterprise which has for its object the benefit of a most worthy cause.

 for Signal Corps.
SALE OF REINDEER

Unalaklik, Jan. l.-Missionaries of the Greek church were here for few days recently, holding a revival. There was much sorrowing among the natives for their sins of omission and commis- sion.
 Mir. Cooper, trader of Anvik, has been here with beaver skins. He traded most of them for spotted rein deer hides. The price of spotted reindeer skin is $l0.
 The reindeer industry is evidently a paying one, as Ole Berg, Lapp, sold five deer few days ago to two Lapps from Candle at $50 per deer. Dr. Lind, of the mission, also disposed of the same number at the same figure. It was understood that the genial doctor was acting for natives, who possess 8 few deer.
 The government reindeer teams, under the leadership of the well-known musher, "Slim" McRae, are freighting rations to Old Woman mountain, a sig nal corps station 40 miles across the portage.
 The whisky mushers who passed through here few days ago for St. Michael were up against it" at this end of the run. They had to cut trail through the hummocky ice on the beach from Shaktolik to Unalaklik. However, they left good trail behind them, and the mail carrier is not kick ing.
