Etah Is the most northerly town IA
the world. 1t was visited by MacAiit-
Ian. the great Arctic explorer, to whom
we WI a good deal for the interesting
information he has given us about the
life Of the people in this remote part
Of the earth.
As Is the custom Of the Indian

carries her baby on her back. and
often she has II here while she Is al
tending to her household duties. Pos
sibly the %youngster on the back OF the

Eskimos have II superstition to the ef-

of the skull. 1t Ia much more impor.
tant that Il nan should have both
arms intact than both legs. A clever
pilot who vas killed on the western
front was Lord Lucas. who had an
artiticial" leg.
Considerable Importance Is attached
to the respiratory system. In addition
to good. healthy lungs and vital capac-
ity, the would-be pilot must pass a
breath-holding test. This gives an in
dication of his capacity to stand the
strain of flying at high attitudes,
where the air Is rarefied and breath
ing is difficult, No man with Il weak
heart car hope to pass the tests.
Self-balanclny is another test. The
candidate has to stand on one leg with
his eyes shut and his hands on his
hips. There Is also the old test for
sohriety--walking a straight line heel
to toe with eyes open and then turn
ing round and walking back without
losing balance. The Importance Of
this test can be understood. seeing
that an aviator flying in Il dark cloud
or in Il fog becomes unconscious of his
position and sometimes the machine
is actually upside down. 1t is essen
tial that he should not lose a second
in recovering his balance.
The throat, nose and ear are care
fully examined, for any defects might
seriously handicap IA man during tho
great strain that all flying imposes.
With regard to the eyes, it is consid.
cred that pilots should have perfect
color vision. In order to pick out the
color or marking of hostile machines,
and In recognizing signal lights and In
judging the nature Of landing grounds.
Air Sickness Rare.
A candidate who suffers from sea-
sickness n train sickness would not
be rejected or those grounds alone.
Air sickness. caused by the rolling and
pitching Of the airpianc. is n very rare
complaint. and sickness usually occurs
Immediately after landing.
An unstable nervous system suggest
ed by fidgety movements Of the hands,
feet or face. or biting the nails is a
poor recommendation.

New York.--Considerable concern
has been expressed at the large num-
Der Of fatal accidents reported from
our American military and naval avia-
ton training camps. Considering the
risks the novice necessarily takes and
the very special physiological and psy-
Geological factors that enter into the
science Of flying, these fatal accidents
are few in proportion to the number
of men undergoing training, and they
are NOT more numerous than those on
the training fields Of Great Britain.
France and Italy.
A perfect knowledge Of all the rules
Of the game Of flying will not save a
man who lacks confidence in himself
and is inclined to hesitate. A half
second of indecision may be fatal. In
itiative, the sporting instinct and a
certain responsibility, qualities In
herent In American youth. have been
found of far greater value in the air
than the logical, scientific. severely
disciplined character of the Germans.
and account for the superiority of the
allied aviators in general.
The most eminent of British sclen-
fists have devoted special study to the
psychological and physiological as.
