BEAR COMPLETES
 HER FORTY FIRST
 CRUISE TO ARCTIC
LAST VOYAGE OF FAMOUS OLD CUTTER-NEW VESSEL ON
 PATROL NEXT YEAR

This seasons Arctic cruise of the cutter Bear was exceptionally good, fine weather prevailing a majority of the time, while at others a few south erly gales were encountered. In June certain portions of the Arctic were fairly clear of ice, with the exception of the offshore pack met with at about 10 miles of the Point Barrow region, according to Capt. L. c. Corvell, com mander of the historic vessel, which was in port overnight Wednesday. The recent trip into port the other day was the first time the vessel had been here this year and Capt. Covells second. In 1916 and 1917 he visited Seward while on the Unalga, at which time he was executive officer.
 The Bear which carried crew of 70 men, is south-bound for Seattle and San Francisco, the latter port being the forty-f1rst Arctic cruise of the ves- se1. According to dispatches receiv- ed from the Associated Press the Bear has made her last trip to Alaska for it was stated the cutter will be disposed of and a new boat, now under con- struction, will take her place. The new vessel will be of special design and construction and will be equipped with a diesel electric drive. A new feature of the vessel will be an air plane which will be carried on board It is estimated the new cutter will cost about s925,OOO.
 The Bear was originally built for a Newfoundland sealing company in 1874 and was purchased by the United States government in 1884, making her first cruise north in 1885. She carries a crew of eight officers and 59 men. She was built in Greenock, Scotland The Bear has made more history than probably any ship afloat, having figur- ed in many Arctic rescue expeditions as we'll as making her regular Arctic patrol
 The Bear left the Golden Gate May 5. The patrol work was completed at Point Barrow August 5, from which area it proceeded to Unalaska remaining in that vicinity until the latter part of last month when she sailed for Seward and the south.
 Capt Covell stated he had heard the Seattle Chamber of Commerce is endeayoring to obtain the vessel from the government, the plan being to an chor the ship in Lakes Union or Washington and fit it up as muse um. The San Francisco Chamber is also making bid for the craft.
 The Bear carries deputy marshal and United States commissioner on board in order to handle judicial cases in the far north.

SOCIALISTS HOLD KEY
 TO FRENCH FINANCES
Their Attitude on Caillaux's Fiscal Reform Bill Awaited With
 Interest

Paris, June IF Rt-Finance Min ister Caillaux, having completed the outline of his fiscal reform bill be- fore the finance committee of the chamber of deputies, announcement of the attitude of the socialists in the forthcoming chamber debate is awaited with keen interest.
 Much hinges upon their decision, as they form one of the principal groups in the left cartel, upon whose votes in the chamber the govern ment depends for it's majority.
 The subject was considered late last night at a caucus of two of the four groups forming the cartel. No resolutions were made public, but Le Matin says 1t understands the social ists were divided.
 The more extreme members are reported to have declared thir op- position to Caillaux and their will ingness to break with the govern nent, while the others were not so intransigent if a way could be found of making clear that the party had no intention of abandoning it's capital levy scheme, which Caillaux refuses to consider.
 The radical socialist group is said to have subordinated everything to the importance of voting the 1925 budget without further delay, re- serving any new schemes for next l years budget. ...

WHAT TO DO WHEN
 AFRAID OF STORM
Expert Gives Advice for Timid
 in Thunder Showers

Milton, Mass. June i. R,--About this season as the old almanacs used to say. expect thunder storms. Inevitably they bring danger to human life but the hazard can be diminished considerably If the ad- vice of men who have made thor ough study of the electrical dis charges of the atmosphere is fol- lowed.
 One of these experts Is Alexander G. MacAdie, director of the Blue Hill observatory and professor of meteorology at Harvard university. In the little building on the wind swept summit of Blue Hill, the highest point in eastern Massachu- setts and in the midst of the Blue Hill forest reservation, he has spent many years in watching and analyz- , ing the action of the elements. He has made a special study of thun- der storms and some time ago he formulated a set of suggestions to help people take care of themselves during such disturbances. Since that time, he says, experience has borne out the value of these sug- gestions and science has not de- veloped any new means of safe- guarding a person against lightning discharges.
 Get under cover is his first rule. If you can't do that, lie down. About ten lightning flashes in a hundren come down to earth in a straight line and the person who stands out in the open when such flashes are seen invites trouble. But getting under cover doesn't mean seeking shelter beneath a tree be- cause that will bring you in the di- rect line of discharge and Professor McAdie says more people are killed by lightning in this way than prob ably any other.
 The doorway of barn or a win dow near a chimney also are dan gerous places 10 stand, because lightning follows to some extent any draft of air, especially warm air. When the flashes are heavy or numerous keep away from chim- neys, trees, flagpoles or metal 1 clotheslines, and cut out your radio.
 You are safer indoors than out. The probability of a person In an i ordinary residence building being struck, says Professor McAdie, Is very slight, and dwelling houses in city blocks are virtually safe. He defends the lightning rod, once so popular but now largely fallen into disuse, asserting that if house is provided with good lightning rods there is little to fear.
 Going to bed doesn't do any par ticular good but standing on glass rubber, a woolen blanket or any other good insulator will give a per son little more security. The ob- servatory director advises passen- gers in a trolley car to sit still If l lightning comes in and burns the 1 fuses because with the roar and binding flash the danger Is over.
 He urges that every effort be made to resuscitate person struck by lightning. It seldom kills out right, usually stunning the victim in such way that artificial respir- ation will restore him to conscious ness.
 For the protection of livestock. which often are killed by lightning while at pasture, he warns against tying them near wire fence.
