PALACE THIE.\TER.

It took the efforts of four police" men to handle the crowd who came 70 the Palace last night to see the show ing of "AuCtion of SOuls'' with Aurora MardlEanian. Hundreds were turned away after the thCatcr was filled. Those who saw the photoplay all pro- claimed it the biggest and best photo play attraction that they had ever seen. It is one big thrill from start to finish with pathos and will hold your attention throughout. It is Aurora Mardiga anian'S own story of her experiences during the Ar menian massacres and the truthful ness of the story is vOuChed for by Ambassador Henry Morgonthau, Wis count Bryce, the British investigator, and the American board of foreign missions. The photoplay had it's first showing at the Ritz Carlton hotel, New York city, at which society lead CTS and prominent city officials paid S10 a seat to see it. Never again will the public of New Britain be treated to such photoplay as 1t was by lot Of strategy that the manag cement of the Palace was able to get the pro- duCtiOn for an early showing in New Britain, as this is only it's second showing in New England. A first class vaudeville show is also offered as an extra attraction and consists of good acts with a variety of singinG, dancing and novelty offerings. The best show in town this week is at tho Palace and no one should miss it. 'AuctiOn of SOuls' is shown at 3:3O D. m. at the matinee and at 9 p. m. Come early and get your pick of the seats

Stephen R. Capps head of the geological survey party from Wash ington, D. C., and the other members who will form the party ill the Ne mana about three weeks ago to be gin a survey of the Bristol Pass country.

 This is MT. Capps first visit to this part of the country since the summer of 1916, when he headed a party of geological surveyors in the Kantishna country.
 MT. Capps appears to have been very favorably impressed with the Kantishna country and it's possibil- ities as mining center, and thinks
The Alaska daily empire., 1919-07-15

that if anything like adequate trans portation facilities are provided, the district can be developed and madt to support quite a large communit>, and would add considerably to the mineral output of Alaska, On his first visit to the district, he was not able to make any very exhaus- tive investigations regarding its min eral wealth, but thinks that there are ample indications of mineraliza- ton to warrant the construction Of roads and trails, at least, to aid in the development.
 MT. Capps, in talking of the Kan tfshna country and the possibility Of obtaining federal aid for the con struction of a road into that district. to aid in it's development, said tha' J l..

 Shamanism, or superstition and 7orcey, always has played an i'm )ortant part in the life of the Alaskan native. So implicitly did the Alaska natives of not many years ago be lieve in tho words and actions of the shaman that a whole tribe would go hungry rather than incur which he had tabooed.
 The, shaman attained his position md power by unusual methods. By fasting and prayer amid the soli. tudes of the woods or mountains, where he fed only upon grasses and roots, he prepared himself to become shaman. By this method, it was conceded, the candidates body be. came sufficiently purified to become the abiding place of the spirits, and Ill successful shamans had to have numerous spirits at their immediate command Usually the spirit willing 10 abide with the shaman sent the candidate killed The ottcr's tongue he preserved as a talisman away from all human view, for should the talisman ever be seen it was be lieved the shaman would go insane of be turned into the animal from which the tongue was taken. The skin of the otter was kept by the shaman as sign of his profession
 Thus it came about that the land otter was regarded as too sacred an qhamans, and neither Alcutian na ives nor those of tho mainland would kill the otter until long after he coming of the RusSians.
 Sometimes it happened that the | fasting and prayer in solitude did not bring to the would-be shamar the spirits cravcd. In this emer gency he betook himself, still fasting to the grave of some deceased sha man and passed a night with the corpse, taking one of the teeth the cadaver in his mouth. Upon the sha mans return to his tribe his skul was then tested by shaman ol known powers.
 For each spirit which the shamar counld produce he had a separate wooden mask, with features as hor rible as the tastes of the carver could devise
 The shaman had many duties tt perform. He was supposed to hea the sick, to cast out the devil from the frail bodies of his subjects to foretell the future and with thu aid of his spirits to enable one [; avoid misfortune and disaster
 The tricks of his trade. paraher nalia and charms generally descend cd from father to son. The shama~' hair was never cut for 10 lose hi, locks would be to lose his powers When he died he was not cremated
 After death his body was allowed to remain in the spot where deatl came for twenty-fOur hours so tha the wandering spirit might find it tenement of clay should it so de sire. When two suns had warne,
