SCIENTISTS TEST
 ALASKA AURORA
EXPERIMENTS BEING MADE TO PHOTOGRAPH NORTHERN
 LIGHTS AT FAIRBANKS

FAIRBANKS, Dec. 17.-In spite of poor atmospheric conditions, satisfac- tory progress is being made in prov ing Dr. J. B. Lewis theory of the Aurora Borealis, and scientists SUD- porting the theory are highly elated over the results obtained, says the Fairbanks News-Mi.ner.
 While it has been impossible to ex- actly determine the precise nature of the Northern Lights, recent results of experiments and observations agree with the predictions of Lewis, espe- cially in the electric and luminous ar ticles of his theory.
 Attempts to photograph the lights with ordinary still and motion picture cameras failed, but an impression on very fast plate was obtained by use of a special parabolic mirror. An ap- preciable deflection was also noticed when delicate selenium cells were used.
 Comparison of dates and reports from other sections of the country indicate that the phenomena occurs at a much lower height than was for merly supposed, but according to Dr. Lewis, height of from five to seven miles will not disprove his theory.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18.-The decision of the United States rail- road labor board in raising the wages of approximately 75,OO0 engineers and firemen on western and mid-western roads does not affect the situation raised by the strike ballot being talk en throughout the Southern Pacific system" l.. c.

 The strike vote is being taken by the companys engineers and fire men and includes all subsidiary sys- tems as we'll as the main system Griffing is here with D. B. Robert son, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire and Enginemen, to canvass the strike vote, which, it is expected will be in by September f.
 "The action of the labor board does not affect the strike situation in any way" Griffing said "The increases were granted upon motion of the western railroad managers, and neither the employees affected nor the representatives had any part in the conferences and deliber- ations relative to such increases"
