"The Forest of Arden,v

'The Forest of Arden" the new roof gar
den on top of the Beasco Theater, will posi-
lively be opened Tuesday night. The roof
garden was originally scheduled to open
last Monday night, but the severe storm
of that day completely wrecked the roof
garden, so far decorations were con-
cerned, and 1t was necessary to refurnish
the roof. Even the trees that will make
THE Forest of Arden most realistic were
scattered broadcast by the severe storm.
However, the management positively as
serts that unless the weather prevents the
roof garden will be opened to the general
public Tuesday night after the first act of
Prince Karl" There will be no extra
charge for admission to the roof but it's
use will be restricted to patrons of the sum-
mer season of the Edwin Arden company at

The Superstitious Eskimos.

From the Outing Magazine.
The Eskimos at Ramah and at the sta
tons south are all supposed to be Chris
tians, but. naturally, they still retain many
OF the traditiL nal beliefs and superstitions
of their ancestors. They will not live in a
house where death has occurred, believing
that the spirit of the departed will haunt
the place. II the building is worth 1t they
take it down and set it up again somewhere
else. Not long age the wife of one of the
Eskimos was taken seriously i'll and be-
came delirious. Her husband and his neigh
bors, deciding that she was possessed of an
evil spirit, tied her down and left her, until
finally she died. uncared for and alone,
from cold and lack of nourishment. This
occurred at Il distance from the station,
and the missionaries did not learn of it
until the woman was dead and beyond
their aid
Once nr. GrenfelI visited Ramah and ex-
hibited t. the asfonished Eskimos some
stereopticon views - photographs that he
had taken there In a previous year. 1t so
happened that one Of the pictures was that
of an old woman who had died since the
photograph was made and when it ap-
reared upon the screen terror struck the
hearts Of the s.rple II inded people They
believed it was her spirit returned to earth,
and for Iona TINE afterward imagined
that they saw it floating about at night,
visiting the wolnans old haunts
