 Governor Parks prefaced his remarks by stating his visits here were altogether too few but that he always felt at home in Seward He dwelt briefly on his recent trip in British Columbia over a portion of the route of the International Highway and of the enthusiasm encountered everywhere for the project.
 GOVERNOR PARKS
 There is considerable progress in the way of building through out the entire Territory, he said, and indications pointed to much activity. He anticipates a larger gold production this year than last.
 Governor Parks congratulated the citizens of Seward for their enterprise in procuring such splendid hospital, which had been very much in need of for many years; that it was undoubtedly one of the best in Alaska.
 He does not look forward to any curtailment in the fisheries and thought the output for fish this year, excellent.
 Mine labor is about the same as in the past and the copper situation, also, is practically the same as the previous year He looks forward to solving the rein deer problems, which confront him, in the near future
 The plane trip which he re- gently made over Mckinley Park amazed him from a scenic stand point and he heartily recommend Cd such trip to those desiring a new vista of the park.
 MAJOR ELLIOTT
 The present summer has been one of adventure for him, Mai or Elliott, President of the Alas Ga Road Commission, began, in his capacity of assisting in the promotion of the proposed In rernational Highway. He, like Governor Parks dwelt on the recent motor caravan from Seat tie to Hazelton, B.

Th0rne, private detoctive. The elder Winslow suspects Elsa, who is a guest at his home in Wash ington, D. C., is not all she pretends to be. 4 mysterious woman in blue has beSn seen talking to Elsa several times. Winslow brings Dr. Kane, Bos- ton surgeon, to examine Elsa in hopes of curing the paralysis in her legs. She seems panic stricken at the idea Of an exam ination, but consents. Later that night Kane is found on the ground under his bedroom win dew, dead. Winslow fails to summon the coroner at first, but when that official arrives he proceeds to question Wins low, inquiring if Kane was in good health upon retiring. Meanwhile Jack WinsIow seems to be making an investigation of his own.

 But in her invalid condition"
 "Ah, that's the point" Winslow's voice fell almost to whisper and he looked about to make certain they were alone. Is she a cripple?'
 Thorne regarded him with star tied eyes, You mean--?'
 We've had doubts, my wife and I-Oh, no matter now what gave rise to them-and I sent for Kane. ' Winslow cleared his throat, ner- vous habit with him. Kane eX- amined her last night
 Well, what did ne find out?"
 T don't know" with an express sive gesture. Kane died before I saw him again"
 Where were you while Dr. Kane was interviewing Miss Chaser" he asked finally.
 Here, playing poker briefly. Kane went straight to his bedroom evidently after making the exami- nation, for he had left his suit case upstairs"
 Suppose" Thorne's soft tones quiekened, suppose we go to Dr. Kane's bedroom"
 Winslow paused before a closed door and opened it, standing back to permit the detective to enter first.

 Go with them, Leonard" he said brokenly. Do everything for Kane and turning he stumbled out of the room.
 Within fifteen minutes the un- dertaker's car had driven eff, fol- lowed immediately by that of the coroner, and McLane was about to enter his coupe when Winslow ap- peared at the front door.
 Just a moment, Leonard draw ing close to the surgeons side. How did you find Julia?"
 Your wife was resting quietly when l left her before Coroner Penfield came" Dr. McLane opened the door of his car. Should she show any further inclination to- ward mysteries administer another dose of bromide"
 But Winslow shook off McLane's friendly hand with scowl which deepened as, reentering the house, he saw Jack talking eagerly with Elsa's trained nurse They both looked up at his approach. Jack was the first to speak.
 Can I do anything for you in town, Dad?p he asked, and almost before Winslow could answer, he held up a bottle. You are sure Miss Kline, there is nothing else Miss Chase wishes?"
 Quite sure.' The nurse con- suited her watch. T have to give her the medicine before ten o'clock :"
 I'll be back with it." and snatch ing up his overcoat and hat, Jack was halfway to the garage before Winslow moved from the front door. It was with slow and heavy tread that he joined Thorne in the card room.

INDIANS ENJOY FLYING H|CH:
 ABLE TO DO IT.
Indian Fishermen Buy New Clothes and Ride
 Tn Planes

Indians like to fly high, figura- lively and literally. For many of them the fishing season has been profitable. Their prosperity is evidenced by new and fashionable apparel for men, women and chil- dren, and by jewelry, too for adults and by toys, also, for. juveniles-a little boy, whose home is on a trolling boat was learning to ride a new bicycle on the City Float this morning.
 Aerial Flights Popular
 Fifteen-minute flights in air planes are popular form of di- version with numerous Indians. The amusement is favored at various nearby cannery places to greater. extent than it is here.
 At Klawak and Petersburg yester- day, the seaplane Skagway, Pilot Robert E. Ellis and Mechanic Chandler Hicks, took 42 Indians for short aerial rides. AngOon, Hood Bay and Tyee are being visited by the Skagway today to meet the de- mands of Indians for flights.
 Wrangell for Indians
 The seaplane Wrangell, Pilot J.. Clark Wing and Mechanic Frank Hatcher, arrived in Juneau last eve ming from Ketchikan. It brought as a passenger Larry Parks, repre- sentative of the Alaska Washington. Airways. The Wrangell with Pilot, Wing; Mechanic Hatcher and MT. Parks, left here this morning for Klawak, whence it will go to Ket- chikan, Craig and Port Alexander. It is scheduled to be in Sitka Sat- urday to bring passengers that af- ternoon from there to Juneau. At Klawak, Ketchikan, Craig and Port Alexander, the plane has arranged. to make short flights with Indians.

 Was Kane wearing a coat when you picked him up?a asked the coroner after a brief pause
 No replied Winslow He was just as he is now" pointing to the once white shirt, now torn and bloodstained He was lying hud- dled on his right side when Glo- yer, Jack and brought him in here" Suddenly Wihslow's feelings mastered him and he covered his eyes with shaking hand Kane and I have been friends for many years" he mumbled.
 Coroner Penfield nodded sympa- thetically. T understand, MT. Wins low" and he looked across at Dr. Leonard McLane, who, with Thorne, had been a silent witness 10 the scene. My colleague, blowing slightly to McLane, will tell you that III case or acclOSnIal dedLn such as this, an autopsy will haye to be held"
 Winslow's hand dropped from his eyes and a startled look crept into them. An autopsy e?" he stammered.
 "No, at the morgue," then, read ing the protest trembling on Wins lows lips, the coroner added: l can realize your feelings, MT. Wins low; to have your friend taken away and his body subjected to an examination seems horrible to you; but, I assure you, sir, the law must be complied with"
 Winslow's glance dropped to the

 "Thorne, come here!" The i'm perative call was low pitched. This bathroom door is locked"
 Try the other"
 There is none; ths IS the. only entrance to the private bath be- longing to this bedroom" Winslow drew out his handkerchief and wiped the beads of preparation off his forehead. Kane fell out of the window of this bathroom"
 Thorne reached the door and applied his eye to the keyhole, then kneeling in less cramped position, he took from his pocket what ap- peared to be a small box with glass ends. Holding it to his eye, he again gazed through the keyhole, and the small box, a periscope in effect, enabled him to see all of the tilelined bathroom.

Reveals Simple Method
of "InvisibIe" Writing

An eX-cOnvict who spent Is terms
In prison, recently visited the Office
of the London Daily Chronicle, and
left letter purporting to reveal a
secret method Of invisible writing
by means of which prisoners were
able to communicate with friends
outside. In the letter he claims that
this was the method employed by
two prisoners who committed sui
eide, when, as stated at the time.
they were able to send request to
friends to forward them poisoned
sandwiches under the system which
enables prisoners on remand to re-
ceive food from outside. The let
ter continues: I'm this letter is the
method under which they sent out
their messages. Can you find it?''
The explanation and a test of the
trick were finally volunteered. In
the blank spaces of the letter the
ex-cOnvict had penned an invisible
message by dipping the pen nib In
his mouth and writing with saliva.
Lightly done, this cannot be seen
by the naked eye. To reveal the
writing all that had to be done is
TO rub ordinary ink over the blank
space, blot it quickly and the in
visible words stand out like ordi-
nary penmanship.

Beginning of Superstition

The word superstition" is de-
rived from the Latin "superstitiO,
excessive in religious belief, pos
sibly originally standing over a
thing in amazement or awe; from
"superstare," to stand above or
over. Superstition is closely allied
with the so-called chronological phe-
nomena known as survivals. Among
the ancient peoples-as, for in
stance, the Assyrians-it was part
of the official state religion to
prophesy concerning the future
from the flight of birds, the nature
of dreams and similar occurrences,
and where such customs and the
correlated beliefs persist they may
be regarded as survivals. Among
them, perhaps the most persistent
in the country districts is the be-
lief in, ghosts and in the influence
of the moon. In parts of Europe
the effects of the "evfl eye" are
still feared, while in the United
States the horseshoe, caul, four
leaf clover, etc., are still regarded
as emblems of good luck.

Club Atmosphere Best
for Little Poker Game

Many of the boys in the city cOun-
Gil are not averse to friendly
game OF five and ten," and so q
few OF them were sitting around a
circular table at tile home of a
friend the other night. The wife
thought 1t would be kindly and
popular thing TO give the boys a
sandwich or two and she busted
herself like any perfect hostess
would do.
The sandwiches came, but the
boys hardly knew what the filling
was, as they were too occupied
looking for the third ace or trying
to find the fifth club. The dear
lady didn't know it, but it's not
ethical to interrupt that kind of a
game.
A little later she happened to
think that the baby had just reached
the cute age, and she knew the
"gang" would be tickled to
death to see him perform. So she
toted out the little fellow, who put
on his act to an unsympathetic au-
dience.
II guess we will play the next
game at the club,"' one of the boys
remarked, and there was heart
felt chorus of "Amen."-Brockton

Daddy Stork the Victim
of eternal Triangle

Fratricide is not uncommon In
the snake world. Snake will eat
snake, and very often does; but it
must be said in justification that a
snake must he very hungry and see
no prospect of food at all before
he will deliberately set out to eat
his brother. Some snakes, how
ever, lOathe those of other species
and kill them on sight.
German naturalists have observed
the murderous passion in some
birds, especially storks. One cele.
brated naturalist tells of stork
triangle tragedy" enacted on a
high chimney pot. While the male
mate was away younger and
handsomer mate came to WOO the
lady. She first repulsed, then toll
Grated, then succumbed to his
Establishments. Then, when the old
husband was out frog hunting one
day, the guilty pair flew to his
marsh ard belabOred him to death.

Englishman First With
Idea of Artificial Silk

Most Of the credit for the idea Of
manufacturing artificial silk goes
to France. and the honor has usu-
ally been given to Reaumur. a
French naturalist. Actually, the
first known suggestion was made
by an Englishman, DR.. Robert
Hook. In 1864 he published book,
"Micrographia," in which he de-
scribed microscopic examination
Of real silk, and suggested the pos
sibility of producing similar
thread by mechanical means. The
first machine to produce an artifi-
cial thread was made in England.
In 1910 Mr.. Louis Schwabe took
out the first patent and erected his
machine, embOdying spinnerettes,
in Manchester, but the product
failed to attract. and Schwabe COM
mitted suicide three years later. To.
day the spinperette is in full use,
and f135, 100000 is invested in the
industry in England alone.
