WORK OF POLISH CHILDREN TO BE SHOWN IN WASHINGTON

WARSAW, June 30-During the celebrations in Poland last year in honor of America and American Poles, Polish school children united in composing several commendatory letters and addresses, which were by themselves beautifully transcribed on parchment and illuminated.
 This work was 50 well done, and has such artistic merit, that it has been decided to collect the parch- ments and send them to the Polish legation at Washington for exhibi- ton. ."*

SHIPS THAT PASS AT NIGHT
 RING 4 BELL ON SHORE

VIENNA, June 30-Austrian in ventors have perfected an instru- ment which automatically and accur- ately records the passage of any yes sel over given body of water, night or day, to observers who may re located on shore. As an aid in catching smugglers, and a help to coast defence in war time, the in vention is regarded as distinctly val uable.
 The devise consists of a small search light sending a ray no big ger than a pencil across the space to be controlled, and a receiving ao- paratus at the other end containing light-sensitive selenium cell. When ever a passing vessel interrupts the rays of the search light, the selen- ium cell closes relay which starts a bell alarm, or operates a recording device.
 The instrument in question was tested recently between two points three and one half miles apart, in the outskirts of Vienna, and the pas sage of every object, as well as ev- cry person, was duly recorded. These tests were made, in broad daylight, with a 50 candle power incand.,scent lamp as the source Of light.

NEW PLANE TAKING FORM
 READY FOR TEST MONDAY

Chairman Joe O'Connor, of the Nenana celebration committee, has been advised from Fairbanks that the work of assembling the new Curtis airplane, which will be seen in stunt flying during the Nenana celebration, is being rushed to com pletion at the Fairbanks flying field to which place the machine was nov ed from the depot late last night. The wings will be adjusted today and by tomorrow night 1t is ex- pected everything will be in readi- ness for a trial flight. Aviator File son will take the air first thing Mon day morning and if everything works satisfactorily he probably will fly to Nenana on Tuesday to make pre- parations for the aerial circus which promises to be the big attraction of the local celebration.
 Prof. Eileson is being assisted in assembling the plane by Ira Earns worth, we'll known Fairbanks auto mechanic, and it is possible the two will come to Nenana.
 
 It is reported from Fairbanks that Editor W. F, Thompson, of the Fairbanks News-Miner who is one of the owners of the new plane, will accompany Eileson on the flight to Nenana. Mir. Thompson says either he will make the flight or he will send Dick Wood, who is also inter- ested in the plane. The plane has load capacity of about 400 pounds, in addition to the pilot. ~:.. - ~
 The committee has decided to stage the aerial circus on July fifth and in order to finance this costly feature, the committee will endeavor to sell tickets in advance, at one dollar each, good for admission to Athletic park. where the aviator will take of his hair-raising aerial stunting. It is believed everyone will buy tickets in order to secure this great attraction for the eele- bration. It will be the first exhibi- ton of the kind ever held in Alaska, and promises to prove as thrilling as any seen anywhere in the States.
 There is talk of running an ex- cursion down from Fairbanks in or der that residents of the upper town may see Aviator Eileson in action. It is understood a train can be se- cured if a sufficient number will make the trip, leaving Fairbanks on the Fourth and returning on the Fifth.
