ALAsKRs "sILENT CITY,"
Wonderful Mirage That Is Said to
Have Been Photost aphed.

One Of the best stories regarding a
ing the appearance of city in the sky.
This silent city" is said to have nc
tually been photographed and. though
there are skeptics, enough people claim
to have seen it to make the story inter
esting.
To. first account of this city of 81

Willoughby He was miner i'll Cali

settled in the vicinity of Muir glacier.
In fact. it was Willoughby who pilot

the scientists name. Willoughhy al
ways told the story of this city which
appeared in the sky with much ear
nestness, and he carried photograph
which he ss!d he took after several
visits to the spot whence the vision
could be seen.
When Willoughby first went to Alas
ka natives told him that at certain
times of the year when the days were
longest and the atmospheric conditions
right they saw suspended In the heav-
ems a town with streets. houses and
many different kinds of buildings. So
impressed was he that he engaged the
Indians to take him to the place where
the city could be seen. and In their ca
noes travelled to the spot.
After several attempts Willoughhy
at length saw this silent city" as the
natives called it. He said that the Mt
mosphere was so clear that mouHtains
many miles away seemed near and
that as he gazed the outlines of city
gradually assumed shape. and build

warning message is communicated to
the brain For years Psychologists
have been puzzled to know the func-
ton of these canals. because 1t was

to do with the sense of hearing or the
proper working of the auricular organ.
Thus they came to be considered as

Do you know why brides wear white9
In olden days bride of the poorer
classes went to her wedding in white,
as q warning to the public that, since
she brought nothing to the marriage,
her husband was not responsible for
her debts. At the beginning of the 18TH
century brides began to introduce
touches of color into their costumes.
Blue was for constancy and green for
youth yellow was never worn, as 1t
stood for jealousy.
Not until Shakespeare's time, says
the Chicago Tribune, did English wives
wear wells. Until then, the custom mad
been FOR the bride to go to her wedding
with her hair hanging loose as a sign
of freedom Immediately, however.
upon entering her new home she bound
up her hair. This was a sign of sub
mission.
Wedding gifts in olden times were
mere loans, to be returned when the
couple were well established in their
new home But when the feudal lord
increased in power he grew to expect
presents for his newly welded children
from those dependent upon him. Later
laws were passed compelling present
in value up to one twentieth of the
yearly rent of the tenant.

Democratic committee list in the Senate
was not completed when the steering
committee adjourned. tonight, and MEM
bers expressed doubt as to whether the
reorganization of the Senate could take
place, before Friday. if at that time.
The majority of the important commit
tee assignments had been made, but In
the work remaining to be done on lesser
committees it was expected that occa-
sion would arise for the changing of seY
eral appointments already agreed upon.
A subcommittee appointed to prepare
the membership of the smaller commit
tees worked until late hour, tonight,
and will report 10 the steering commit
tee at another meeting, tomorrow
In the majority of cases the Older SEN
ators who would be entitled to chair
manchip of important committees by rea-
son of present position on those commit
fees or their seniority of service, will
receive the appointments, but an effort
is being made to distribute the balance
of the committee memberships equally
Indications tonight were that the chair
manship of the new banking and curren-
CIV committee would go TO Senator over
OF Oklahoma although a hard fight has
been made upon this assignment. 1t Is
expected that there will be lively SEES

committee lists are finally approved.
