There is eminent authority for the statement that the lower ends of the aurora streamers are always about 62 miles above the surface of the earth.
 "On the other hand there is much respectable testimony to the effect that the aurora streamers have been seen between the ob- server and some distant hill or other object, thus indicating close approach of the aurora to the earth's surface.
 Such close approach aurorae gre exceedingly rare.
 s'Crlike many problems which hay. to be solved by the use oi ..irn;itic apparatus, the above two ,;ur. ions can be determined ny :tuM-srientific persons through the dir, evidence of sight and hear ing Such important testimony Is soue,n and will be duly aprreci atcd

DOES THE AURORA FOOTBALLS
 SOMETIMES EMIT NOISES

One James Halvor Johnson writes the Nugget seeking information con corning the aurora borealis. He desires the Nugget to make public his queries in the hope that some of it's readers may furnish him with data concerning reported idiosyn- crasies of that natural phenomenon about which little is known. He says:
 "The scientific world is deeply interested in all matters pertaining to the aurora boreaiis; and much study has been given to determine it's nature and origin. There are still many unsolved problems in re- lation thereto.
 "The intelligent people of Alaska. situate as they are where aurora displays are most frequent. can furnish valuable information if they will kindly report on the aurora displays that they may from time to time witness.
 Two things may be particularly mentioned with respect to the au- rora upon which scientific opinion is divided.
 1. Does sound ever accompany aurora displays?
 Those who claim to have heard such sounds describe them as faint 'swishing', cracking 'rustling, etc. sounds. Many men who have travelled extensively in the Arctic regions say that they never hav' heard such sounds. Some scien lists discredit the possibility O hearing aurora sounds owing tt the great distance at which dI their opinion) the aurorae occur.
 "2. Do aurorae ever approacl near to the surface of the earth?

EDITORIAL
NARROW GAUGE POLITICS
(Stroller's Weekly)

(Stroller's Weekly
 Recently a few Ketchikanites got together and under the nomencla- ture of Republican Club" proceed ed to speak for the people of Ket- chikan and Alaska in a platform which was adopted and of which the following is an outstanding feature:
 "We believe that the enormous
 timber resources of the Territory
 should be developed and for the
 benefit of the Territory. and we
 therefore urge that Congress and
 our Legislature make ample pro-
 visions for protecting the people
 and small operators in obtaining
 a fair portion of areas and the
 accessibility of outlets. both road
 and navigation. We further urge
 that such companies or persons
 as are granted concessions or
 leases of our timber should be
 
 ployment of cheap labor and the
 purchase of materials and sup
 plies outside of the Territory. We
 further believe that all leases or
 concessions should be subject to
 taxation by the Territory"
 Instead of considering what cap l. 1,f kan Republican ore@Nization. is planning what Ale sllan5 will do for and to capital-talking about and advocating taxation on projects now only in the tentative stage and which should he given all possible encouragement rather than threat ened with taxation and regulations. the strict compliance with which would stifie the purpose sought to be obtained. The employment of cheap labor and the purchase of materials and supplies outside.' The Ketchikan organization pre- sumes to instruct corporations which are considering the spending of tens of millions of dollars in Alaska where to head in in the em- ployment of labor and the purchase of supplies. The only reason the class of grub to be served in the messhouses and the proper tenn perature at which fngerbowl water is to be maintained were not men toned were probably forgotten. There appears to be a class of would-be leaders in Alaska who will never be satisfied until the Territory reverts to the customs in vogue during the days when the , man with the polling boat and a squaw were dictating the policies ] in Alaska.
 | As a vote catcher the Ketchikan | organization should think of some thing else than the taxation of cap l 'tal which is not yet here.
