fathers Of this nation laid deep and
strong the foundations of the most per-
feet and enduring temple ever con-
ceived by the wisdom of sages or con-
secrated by the blood of heroes.
This supreme law of our land con-
sists of a preamble and seven articles
TO which only 10 amendments have
been added during the l40 years of its
existence. The three chief articles
deal. respectively. with the legislative,
executive and judicial organs of gov
ernment-that marvellous system OF
checks and balances which is the very
corner stone of American democracy.
The first 10 amendments, known as the
Bill of Rights. gave permanence to the
great declaration that men possess in
alienable rights. such as freedom of
religion. Of speech. OF assembly. Of the
press. and trial by jury

Lsat year at this time of the hal ibut fishing season more than 40 boats had called in the Port of Seward but todate, this season, they can be count ed, almost, on the fingers of both hands. It will be recalled last Feb ruary severe storms at sea drove a good many here for new gear. The prevailing low price on halibut is said to be the greatest drawback and 1t is hoped the surplus stocks now in storage will soon be disposed of.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
 DEATH OF SEWARD MAN

Further details have been received of the accident which resulted in the death of Lieut. Rhea and Radio-man Lonergan, of the U. s. s. Omaha, former Seward young man, while "spotting" torpedoes off Point Loma, Calf, on February 8, 1928.
 Lonergan and Rhea were out spot ting torpedoes, which means after a torpedo is fired and has become ex- hausted, it floats near the surface, and the plane locates it for the ship by "zooming', or diving to within a few feet of the water directly over the tor pedo; the ship immediately comes and picks it up.
 It is said by men who saw the acci- dent, that the plane had "zoomed" the torpedo and was up about 400 feet,
  when Rhea made left turn as though to zoom again. He apparently did not have sufficient speed and the plane went into spin.
 Not having enough altitude to gain control, they turned, or spun around twice and hit the water on their back, which undoubtedly killed both men instantly.
 A destroyer, which was but couple of boatlengths away, rushed to the scene and made line fast to the plane, but the heavy seas broke the line and the plane went down in SOOi afthoms of water.
