REGISTRATION
 DAYS CLOSING

But one more week remains in which those who come under the provisions of the man-power act may register. after that those who are between 31 and 46 years of age are liable for punishment if they have not registered with the local board of the designated agents in the out lying districts. Many are under the impression that owing to the signing of the armistice they will not be required to register. The law in this case holds good just as tho the war was in progress.
 The local board believes that the registration for the Fairbanks district will amount to over 800. At the pres ent time there are over 750 regis tered. Brooks has turned in a list of 100 names; Fox, 26; Richardson, 20, and five from Fairbanks creek There are yet few districts to re- port.
 Monday will be the last day on which person may register. The fin al date has been set as the 18th, but owing to that day falling on Sunday the time has been extended to Mon. day.

DIR. SUTHERLAND
 HAS ASSISTANTS

That the Indians of the interior are aware of the seriousness of the influenza menace is evidenced by the action taken by the Cinema tribe the other day when two natives of the Nenana mission appeared at their village.
 When the down river natives ap peared at the Cinema village they were questioned where they came from and they replied that they came from the Nenana mission. When interrogated as to whether that viii lage was under quarantine they re. piled that it was but the Indians from there could travel anywhere. The Chena natives promptly came back with the reply: We all the same Dr. Sutherland. you go to quarantine" No sooner said than done. The two Nenana natives were taken to an isolated cabin and the door locked Later supply of wood and food was taken to them and they will be the guests of the Cinema brethren for the next ten days.

Every transforming company has as
not the least important part of its
equipment pair of followed cOconut
shells, which, in the hands of the stage
mechanic, sounds more like horse
than horse itself. Now that most Of
our melOdrama comes to us through
the motion pictures, along comes an
imitatOr of Gathering hOofs to be at
tached to stationary organ. 1t is
operated from the keyboard by lever
or button. With the aid of a swell
box, the sound can be made to swell
or diminish.
The device consists of six cups, the
upper three of which are secured to
the bellows and the lower three OF
which are mounted on solid base.
To operate them, the organ player
presses key which causes the first
cup to come down with a thud, fol-
lowed in quick succession by the other
two cups. There is no break in the
action. The cups are made of maple.
