Up in my room," Bunny replied, as the question was flung in her di- rection.
 How'd 1t get up there?"
 T carried it up"
 After the murder?'
 "Y-yes, after the murder"
 Bunny with Steve Truitt's eyes 10 guide her. was answering Mott with quiet composure, and even a sclf-assurance that he had never seen her exhibit before.
 You were downstairs that night, them"
 T was"
 Perhaps, Miss Moore,' Truitt said. it would be better for you to tell Mr. Mott about your going down stairs that night, after Mrs. Heath had been killed"
 And so simply and coherently, Bunny related the story of her visit to the studio, her finding Myra there, dead, and with the makeup on her face.
 Did you think the makeup was out of your box" demanded Mott. who was unable to doubt the straightforward story of the girl.
 T didn't think about that. What I went down for was to get that vanity case. When I saw Mrs. Heath, l was so stunned. so shocked, scarcely knew what I was doing. I caught up the vanity case. almost unconsciously. and I crept out of the room and upstairs, trembling and shaking with horror and fear"
 Fear of what?'
 "Of nothing definite. Only the vague, shudd ering fear that any one would feel after seeing a scene like that"
 Tod Buck looked at the girl In amazement. What had come over Bunny to change so suddenly from q nervous. hysterical state to this calm. poised attitude.
 Then, he remembered she's had nearly ap hour alone with Truitt, and he rightly concluded that Steve had coached her.
 Mott. too, was disturbed at Bun ny's demcanor. He had meant to browbeat her, to frighton her. to put her through a mild third degree, but he had meant to fasten the crime on her. or get from her some direct evidence against another. And now, she not only had q strong and formidable champion, but she had. apparently, found her self, and Mott was at q decided dis advantage.
 Well. then.' he sid, after a short pause, Tit begins to look like MT, Inman is our man. "Why?" asked Truitt, suavely. Because he looked out of his door as Miss Moore came upstairs? AL most anyone would look out into the hall at the sound of footsteps in house at two o'clock in the morn- ing"
 Especially q guilty man." growled Mott, who began 10 feel he was not shining as detective.
 Yet that's scarcely enough to base murder charge on. What other evidence have you. Mir. Mott. that you say so confidently Mir. h. mon is our man?"
 well, the servants saw him go- ing downstairs"
 Yes. but that was at two o'clock, after Miss Moore had already been down and had seen Mrs. Heath dead" E ation Of Bunnys trip downstairs had not yet been adjusted by him to his other facts.

Uses for Gyroscope

When first invented, the gyroscope,
then called rotascope, was used as
scientific toy to illustrate the dy-
namics Of rotating bodies, the compo-
sition Of rotations, etc. A delicately
mounted form of the above apparatus,
invented by NJ. Foucault, is used to
render visible the rotation of the
earth on account of the tendency Of
the rotating wheel to preserve a con-
stant plane of rotation, independently
of the earth's motion. This same
principle is made use of in an instru-
ment invented by DR.. H. Absolute
Kampfe, designed to replace the mar
iner's compass or to serve as a check
upon it's accuracy. Other uses of the
gyroscope are as a steering apparatus.
and as a balancing device in certain
flying machines, and in proposed
type of mOnOrailway.

Rite of Fire Walking Still Deep Mystery
:. 8. e=ess =esss @:sses

Despite Investigations of competent
observers, the famous Tahiti fire
walking ceremony still remains a Sc
cret of small company of natives in
the island of Raiatea, Tahiti.
The ceremony was given on this is
land recently for the first time in
many years and outsiders were not
excluded from witnessing any stage
of the preparation of the fire pit.
When the proper time comes and
the celebrants pass through the fire,
any bystander asking permission may
go through beside them without dis
comfort
Outsiders who have passed through
the fire say they felt no sensation Of
heat except on the face, although,
when standing outside, the radiation
made the pit difficult to approach.
Those trying to solve the mystery
have pulled out large stone from the
pit while the ceremony was in prog
ress and thrown it into a pail of water
The water would go up in steam. Some
also have tried crawling to the edge of
the pit and touching one of the white
stones with the finger. They were re-
warded with ugly burns.
Scientists who have seen the fire
walking have propounded number of
theories but practical tests always
failed to establish such explanations.

heather times and the worship OF old

We picked up a smart so'easter and
ran our westing down packet-fashion,
with never a sail in sight for a week,
until a morning when the sun came
up at our backs like a FURNISHED cop
per plaque and we saw the cone of
the Spyglass lifting out of the haze
ahead. A league or two farther on
the whole island shaped itself beneath
its spine of hills, and a column Of
smoke from the Spyglass told us that
Flint's lookout had detected us.
The wind had continued strong
through the night, but after dawn it
turned puffy and twas nearly noon
when we passed into Captain Kidd's
anchorage on the last of the flood.
There was great hustle aboard the
Walrus, with boats plying to and from
the shore, and as our anchor splaShed,
the longbOat put off from her side,

INDIAN CITIZENSHIP
-----

There is every reason to believe that William L. Paul, political boss Of the Southeastern Alaska natives, member of the last legislature and a candidate for reelection, is not a citizen of the United States. Born in Simpson, B. O., he is not a citi- zen by birth; born of Canadian father, these facts on his own ad- mission, and making no claim to having taken out naturalization pa pers himself, he has exercised every right of an American citizen, ap- parently without the slightest right so to do. (And we have no doubt that the bill introduced in the last days of the past Congress to natur- altze all American Indians was for the benefit principally of Paul."-Val- deg Miner.
 There is a trite saying: Expose your ignoranct and it will evaporate. which just about fits the editor of tho Minor. At least we will excuse the article on that score for cer- tainIy the honor of the press would not let him make deliberate pre- varication, even if there were more

 l. William Paul WAS born in Simpson, B. c. in the spring of '85 His fathers antecedents on the ma ternal side date back several gen erations through the Tongass Ma tiyes; on his mothers side the same is true only through the Natives of Wrangell. When the time of labor neared, the father took William s Eiutner to Simpson the nearest point Of medical aid. And what father, we ask, Mr. Valdez Minor, wouldn't do just that same thing? Just as soon as the mother was able to re- turn to her own home she made the trip and except in 1893 never again stepped on Canadian soil for more than a day.
 Were he born in China under the same condition, does that make him subject of China? A cat has her kittens in an oven, are they bis? cuts?
 Under such circumstances natur- alization papers are not necessery. The case is not analogous of that Of Herbert L. Faulkner, whose cer- tificate of naturalization is matter of considerable discussion even at this date and yet We do not hear The Minor sap word about it. NATURALIZING INDIANS

SAILING UNDER OUR
OWN COLORS

Speaking of subsidized papers we are asked "who pays and guarantees the bills of THE ALASKAN?" The inference being that we are subsi- dized paper.
 The Alaskan is owned lock, stock and barrel, from the broomhandle up, by the Alaska Native Brother hood. The hard earned nickles and dimes of the Native population in almost every town in this division is invested in this plant. It is ALL THEIR OWN. No chattel mort gages or shoe string propositions.
 Our policies are subject to the will and direction of the Grand Camp. The Brotherhood became tired of paying big printing bills monthly to enemy political mouth lieces, helping them to fight our cwn efforts as it were. So this plant was purchased.
 We have paid our way without assistance and We hope so to con- tinue. But with the work of educa- ting the general public to the needs of the Territory and to secure a bet ter understanding by having a voice that will reach farher than the necessity of continuing in this field and later in broadening the scope of our work.

'If Dan Sutherland had not been Delegate from Alaska during the last six years, but the Territory re- presented by a constructive man., Ketchikan today would have 50 per cent more population and industry. 7
 That was the opinion of Edward G. Morrissey, editor of the Chron- icle on October 30 of this year. We suppose that by this time he has learned that the citizens of Ketchi- kan do not agree with him.

MEN WITHOUT A COUNTRY

During the past year, Senator Dill Of Washington introduced in the Senate a bill giving Indians born ill the Continent of North America the right of naturalization He request ed Paul to give the bill to some rep resentative for presentation to the
 House. Paul mentioned to the De- lagate his mission and Sutherland offered to introduce the bill Paul spoke of the political effect it II ieht have on Sutherland's cam pain and Sutherland replied, Ut is
 only just is it not that those peo- pie be given justice" Were Dan all opportunist h ewould have not presented the bill and theerby re- ceiyc the condemnation ofthe press or Alaska.
 In Sitka is Peter Simpson, a man without a country. Born in Canada
 he come to Metlakatla dissatisfied with the lack of citizenship in Can- ada. After a number of years hn ka asin British Columbia. In 1921 he took up with District Attorney Slioup he matter of naturalization and was advised that only those of the Caucasian or the Black race could be naturalized. Not satisfied Simpson took the matter up with
 Judge Wickersham and was there
 advised that onl through Congress sional enactment could he hope to
 become citizen. Simpson has oft
 said that he would never be con-
 tent with life until he had secured
 the right of American citizenship.
 For forty years has this man look
 ed in vain at. the promised land of
 Liberty and Justice; for forty years
 has this man fulfilled the obliga-
 tons, excepting that of election, of
 the highest type of citizenship. And
 would anone deny him the gratifi- cation of his wish. Would the coun-
 try be worse off for his securing a
 right handed those of foreign birth, or platter. There are perhaps a
 couple dozen more in Metlakatla
 who would be benefited by this law and is it right and just that they re- main in the country and never have
 opportunity of saying This is my own my native land" We might mention others who also have de- mOnstrated a wOrthiness of the rights of citizenship and who only receive the condemnation of racial proDogandists for their desires.

Cleveland, o., July 22-The forth

Of Elks to be held here the fourth

of the most interesting in the history
of the organization.
For the first time in Is years the
chief interest in the outcome Of the
election centers around the grand sec
retaryship. Whether Finley Wilson
succeeds himself as grand exalted ruler
has become a question secondary to
the fight which has been 50 capably
made by Harry H. Pace, president Of
Northeastern Life Insurance Com
pany, to oust George E Bates from
the position Of grand secretary which
Bates has held for the past Is years
without opposition.
1t had been generally regarded that
Bates would be a hard man to defeat
and many prospective candidates who
wanted to enter the lists with him
were persuaded BY their friends to
withdraw from the race. Relying on
this method of frightening every other
candidate away Bates has built up q
machine which has its clutches firmly
upon the financial structure Of the
order. In PAGES campaign he has
dug into the finances of the order and
has brought to light many transactions
bv which the membership had beer
deceived BY both the Grand Secretary
Bates and the Grand Treasurer Car
ter. who it is alleged has been merely
a sort of rubber stamp for Bates
whose personality has dominated Car
ter's every action.
