WESTERN ALEUTS FEAR COWS

 WESTWARD ISLANDS

Two years ago, for the first lime, the 70 natives of Atka is- land, which lies far out in the Afeut chain to the west of Alaska proper, saw a COW. For the first time, too, !hey heard q phono- graph.

was packed the first phonograph to land on the little island. The entire population of the island centers in one village, and all of them were at the beach to meet us,
 "The appearance of the cattle inspired great deal of fear and respect. They were the largest animals to visit Atka, for noth- ing but grass grows there, and foxes are the principal animals. After noting the interest taken in the COW and bull, we deceided that if we started canned music we would create sensation.
 "One evening, after the school house had been built, and things got to running smoothly, we got out the phonograph and put in a record. The natives started a little as it began to sing; they eyed it with sidewise glances for a moment, then relapsed into quiet. They never even offered to
