ERROR CHARGED IN PRINCESS SOPHIA
 AWARD FINDINGS
Seattle Daily Times)

Charging that United State S Commissioner A. c. Bowman, who heard and took the evidence in the Princess Sophia case, failed to fol- low the rules laid down by the court, and in arriving at the awards made in his recent findings of fact, did not reach his conclusions as fixed by statute, attorneys for the Canadian Pacific Railway Com pany argued their exceptions to the report.
 Federal Judge Jeremiah Neterer heard the arguments and took the matter under advisement.
 Lost At Sea
 The Princess Sophia was lost in Alaskan waters October 25, 1918. On February 28, 1919, the heirs of those lost at sea started suit against the company under the statutes of Alaska, which limit the liability for death of an adult to $1000O and for a child to $5,000.
 In reaching the damages, it was argued, the commissioner failed to follow the Alaska statute which provides that the measure of dam ages must be based upon earning capacity, prospective life, ability to save and accumulate monev and other matters which would give the court an idea of what the per son would have been worth if life had not been lost.

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-The here tofore very private lives of fairies, gnomes, sylphs and perhaps even angels may become public.
 Attempts to photograph them will be made at the world congress of Theosophists here late this month
 The pursuit will be explained by Godfrey Hodson of England, who claims to have taken pictures of fairies and. has written extensively of them. Hodson expresses belief in the existence of intelligent enti- ties, generally invisible to man and snooty about cameras, which he calls the "devi,' the highest being referred to religiously as angels.
 The claim is advanced by the Theosophists that, while the fairy effort is being made to bring about friendly relations and contact be- tween the two realms. Thus they anticipate that large numbers and powerful representative of the deva people will attend the con gress.
 Filtered rays and super sensitive film will be used in the fairy hunt ing experiments, which will be conducted in Grant park, along the lake front and on the roof garden of the convention hotel An at tempt will be made to secure nov ies.
 Theosophical leaders from all over the world, including Dr. Annie Be- sant, will attend the sessions.

 SCHOOL BUILDING
SUCCESSOR TO LESTER D. HEN DERSON, l.. w. BREUER, EN-
 ROUTE TO KODIAK

OB his first trip in his official capacity as Commissioner of Edu- cation, Territory of Alaska, L. w Breuer, who succeeded MT. Tender son, arrived in Seward yesterday from his Juneau headquarters en- route to Kodiak on the s. S. Ad- miral Watson MT. Breuer, a young and likeble man, will return on the Watson and continue on to the In terior, thence back to Seward and Juneau
 MT. Breuer had the following to say about Stewards new school:
 Tn stating my conception of the Seward school building I feel sure in saying that the people of the town of Seward are to be congratu- lated upon the efforts that they have shown in the interest of edu- cation A. H. L. Myers, secretary of the local school board, was so kind as to show me thru the build ing during my stay in town while the Admiral Watson was unloading. The children thru your efforts will be housed in a modern school building with all the convenienceS of larger schools. was personally pleased with the size, arrangement and lighting of the rooms. In AL aska the matter of lighting is an important problem, but the school building now under construction has gone long way to eliminate any difficulties due to poor light ing.
 Not only is the building well constructed but wien the site was chosen, someone must have had an eye for beauty For what finer view can one have in Seward than that which one gets from the school. Not only the interior of the building is conducive to good school work, but a pleasant sur rounding with a wonderful outlook should go long way to make the hours of study for the pupils of the Seward school most pleasant, en- joyable and profitable
 Further it shows what interest

has been taken in the matter of leducation for the children of this community. For after all an edu- cation is the one thing that we can
 give the children of Alaska It be- speaks active community interest.
 The Territory is willing to aid in
 the matter of educating the child
 ren, thus far it has done we'll by the
 children and it shall continue to do so. However, it appreciates the in terest that is taken in the local communities in the field of educa- tion. Whatever aid we as a com munity may and can give to our schools will create a greater local interest and better school plant with more efficiently trained pupils.
 T am very much pleased on my first trip to Seward in the capacity of Commissioner of Education to see your new building and to be- come acquainted with you. It is my wish that our relations will al- ways be cordial. It is my purpose to handle the office for greater in terest of the children of Alaska. Seward cannot but advance with the interest and civic pride it has shown"

Viewing the Earth from Mars and
Venus
By Arthur DeV. CarpenteI

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
If one could view the earth from
the planet Mars, IL would appear as
a bright, sharp crescent. much as
Venus does 10 us. due TO the fact
that Mars has an orbit exterior to
the earth'S orbit. Mars. as II ap-
proaches the sun. takes on a gibbous
appearance as seen from the earth.
The earth seen from Venus or from
the moon, would have a blueish
white color. due to the fact that the
earth-sky j. blue. II is deemed
doubtful II evidence OF mans exis-
tence or the earth. could be detected
from a planet at the distance OF
