Fur Seal Herd on the Move

Port Angeles. Wash. April ID
The Pacific fur seal herd is on the
move.
The annual migration to the North
ward has begun, and the vanpuar,!
VIII shortly appear off the coasts of
Washington and British Columbia
leading the way to the Summer rem.
devious on the Pribiloff Islands in
he middle of Bering Sea. All winter
long the seals have been scattered
through the South Pacific. but "a
spring approaches the mating instinct
turns their heads to the North and
they converge toward the California
coast, and then follow their time worn
groove along the Western coasts of
the United States, British Columbia
and Alaska, the milestone of thci:
route being the deep sea fishing banks
where succulent salmon, halibut anC
other fish keep them sleek and fat.
Few, if any, other animals are so
carefully pampered and nursed by I'm
Gle Sam, and except for such foster
ing the fur seal probably now would
be an extinct animal. With the eXcep-
ton Cf small colony that summers
on the Commander Islands, off the
coast of Kamchatka, Siberia. the herd
which propagates on the PribiloffS iS
the only fur seal herd known to be in
existence.
When Alaska was purchased from
Russia the seals on the Pribilotf Is
lands numbered, according to various
official estimates, from two to five
million animals, but due to ruthless
operations by SealerS of many nations.
the herds were decmated annually

In 1891 a measure of success was OBJ
tanned in treaty with Great Britain
which practically eliminated Canad-
ian sealers.
The massacre of the herds contin-
ued, however. Numerous Schooners
flying the Japanese flag annually
reaped rich harvest, and the Jap

This agreement prohibited any o.

Target Practice Frequently
Mistaken for Earthquake

Los Angeles, CAL, April 10
Weather conditions are responsible
for target practice of the Pacific
Fleet off the Southern California
coast being occasionally mistaken for
earthquake shocks, according to
report made to the Chamber of Com
merce of this city by DR.. Ford A.
Carpenter, head of the meteorological
bureau of the chamber.
DR.. Carpenter cited cases of Janu-
ary II and March % last when vi
brations caused by big guns ratified
houses many miles inland and re-
suited in reports of earthquakes"
from widely scattered localities.
at is well known fact" the re-
port continued, "that. sound coming
from some point may be heard more
distinctly at certain times than at
others. The distance at which the
sound may be heard is also variable.
The wind direction plays a most inn
portant part in this. If the sound
emitting body is in the direction from
which the wind is coming, the sound
may be heard more distinctly. 1t can
be seen readily that sound waves
travelling in the opposite direction
from which the wind is blowing or
against the wind, will be broken up
and DETECTED.
"The weather conditions during the
evenings of January II and March %
were practically the same. At both
times an area of low pressure was
central over Nevada and Utah, with
an area of high pressure off the Cali.
fornia coast. Under these condi
tions Southern California would ex
perience southerly winds shifting tc
westerly by way of southwesterly.
"The firing took place near Cata
lima Island, which would give the
ships position practically due soutf
of Los Angeles. The great atmos
pheric waves travelling with the wint
would be carried great distances
Had there been northerly wind tn,
shock would probably have been un
noticed.
with gun firing at sea, the waves
are in the air, but with an earth
quake the waves are sent out from
some disturbance under the surfac,
of the earth and vibration of tn,
ground results. The gun firms
shocks rattle windows and doors bu
there is no vibration. The effect i
more like high wind.
CAS- the Navy seems to have chosel
Southern California waters for battl
practice and target firing Of the ships
we are likely to have occurrences o
these shocks from time to time"

Mars Receiving Too
Much Attention

Stockholm, April 1.-THE planet
Mars-an old dying worlds re
ceiving altogether too much atten-
ton from earthly scientists these
days and nights, while the up-an-
coming young planet Venus is just
waiting for chance to know US bet
ter.
This is the conclusion of Professor
Svante Arrhenius, Nobel Prize win
ner and one of Europe's foremost
scientists and astronomers, who lee
tured here on the prospect of wheed-
ling from the heavens the secrets Of
some of our celestial neighbors, and
especially Mars, when that planet
swings into closest proximity to the
earth two years hence.
If scientists and long distance radio
fans really want to communicate with
some celestial neighbor, Professor
Arrhenius said, they will not find
Mars very cordial, for the old fellow
dying or already dead--is covered
with hard frozen sand and is so dry
that it's only rain is meteoric dust.
Perhaps few sea weeds still exist,
he said but it is highly improbable
that even low animal life could find
enough to sustain i. He described
as fantastic" the belief that social
ed canals observed on the planet
were the work of engineers and at
tributed them to earthquake assures.
Venue, on the other hand, offers po.
tentail possibilities to the patient as
tronomer, Professor Arrhenius de-
clared. BY patient" he meant about
billion years, he explained. At the
expiration of this period, he thought
fourishing colony of intelligent be-
ings might be discovered on the
bright little planet.
Everything on Venus is dripping
wet" he continued. The planet is
covered By constant rain-clouds 10
kilometers thick, preventing any rays
from the sun penetrating to the bot,
tom of the air-strata. Life on the
planet of love is short and intense
Living organizm, he thought, might
be found at the polar regions where
the temperature was slightly lowe,
than other parts of the planet.
when the earth is extinguished,
he concluded, at will be Venus, queer
of the heavens, that will take ovel
the role as carrier of culture"

them are the revolutionary tribunals
''ln the revolutionary tribunals, y
Krylenko declared, there are only
three judges, all appointed by the
Soviets and without any assistants
from the trades unions"
The state police which has succeed
ed the Cheka has powers to hold per-
sons for investigation, not longer
than two months, but cannot inflict
any punishment whatsoever.
Prisoners may have counsel ap.
pointed by the court or may select
their own attorneys, Krylenko said

To this organization only qualified
lbarriSters will be admitted and the
