 Cut Fourth Representation
 The loss of Senator Dunn cuts down the representation of the Fourth Division in the upper house to one man, depriving it of 50 per cent of it's strength. There is only one means of restoring it to to normal, which would be by spe- cial election.
 Under an act passed in 1921, when a vacancy in the Second Di- vision occurred just before the session was convened, the Cover nor is authorized to call such an election where vacancy is caused by death, resignation or incapacity A minimum notice of 10 days is required. and notice can be given and returns received by telegraph.
 Senator Dunn is just beginning his third term in that capacity. He served a. term in the House in 1919, and in 1923 went to the Sen ate, reelected again in 1927 for two mere terms, and had his most sue cessful campaign last year when he swept the Fourth Division, car lying almost every precinct.

RECORD PILOT
 BALLOON RUN
 MADE SUNDAY
Reaches Heighth of Over Fourteen Miles in Air
 Over F airbanks

A record pilot balloon run was made at the Fairbanks Weather Bureau station Saturday afternoon, March IA Starting with a calm at the surface, easterly winds of less than 25 miles per hour were found to a height of about seven miles. It was followed to a height of 14.3 miles two hours and two minutes after commencing the observation. At this elevation the wind was found to be blowing from the northeast at the rate of 574.5 miles per hour. It is thought at the local Weather Bureau office that this is considerably the highest sounding that has been made in the upper air by a pilot balloon, as well as the highest wind velocity recorded at any place.
 The balloons used are of the type used by the Nav2l Aerial Map ping Expedition in Juneau in 1926 dllQ lJzo dllQ dlC AlllldJcQ NlIIl hydrogen gas sufficient to give a certain regulate rate of ascent, usually 180 meters per minute Their positions are plotted each minute from observations made by use of a theodolite and the heights and drifts computed from the ob- servations as plotted.
 In this instance it is probable the balloon was at least forty miles from the station when last observ- ed, which speaks well for the clear ness of the air, the power of the telescope and the eyesight of the observer.
 Howard J. Thompson, well known in Juneau, is in charge of the Fairbanks station.

Wuxtral Wuxtra All about he Woodpeckers winning two out. of three from the Eaglesl Yes, sir; It all happened on the Elks' bowling alleys Saturday evening.
 After being the doormat of the league for the past three weeks the Wcodpeckers finally decided 1t was time to win some games or take the first boat for the Pio- neers' Home. And they won from one of the strongest teams in the league although the Eagles were without the help of Sabin, who would have had to bowl big scores to make up, the difference in pins.
 Metcalf Comes Back
 Metcalf, who is rated one of the best bowlers in the Far North, has been below form lately but Satur- day evening he came back with a bang. His total of 609 was high for the evening. Lavenik had high score of 225 but Boyle was only one pin behind with PA. Five hundred scores of the evening were Lavenik 577, Boyle 573, Bringdale 560 and Bragaw 553.

work to the Commissioner of Edu- cation.
 Schools Developed
 The development of schools that would accommodate a scattered population in this wide and inac- cessible area proved to be an ad- ministrative task which led the Office of Education into many strange complications.
 There was. for instance, the in- troduction of reindeer into Alaska, in 1891, and the growth of herds, largely in the ownership of the natives, until they have come to number hundreds of thousands.
 Reindeer Industry
 This work was developed on the theory that the principal chasm between barbarism and civilization may be bridged by converting a hunter into a herder. The result was, however, that the Office of Education in Washington became the strange guardian of vast rein deer herds in Alaska. It was re- lieved of this responsibility two years ago by the transfer of the Reindeer administration to the gov ernor of the. Territory just as the administration of schools and of health work is now transferred to the Indian service.
 Many other problems e are in- volved of a similar kind and the present reorganization is due to the belief that these functions more properly belong to the Indian Scrv- ice than to a research agency, such as the Office Of Education,
 Part Of the staff of the Office Of Education will b. transferred to work with the Indian Service to help start the new program.

 Speculation is Rife
 Yesterday among Legislators there was considerable speculation If the probability Of a special elee- ton being called to choose a sue cessor to the stricken man. It was generally realized that he could not answer any more the roll call in the Senate.
 If it is possible for him to con- tinue as a member Of the Senate end retain his Federal compensation for that post, no effort will be mace to obtain a special election. This was evident from the expres- sions made by many Legislators. IL was agreed that the Legislature was without power to pass a special appropriation to pay him for serv- ices while he is Ill.
 The Federal authorities have in the past ruled that no member Of the Alaska Legislature can draw pay for days not attending the sessions. However, Gov. Parks said he would submit this case to the Interior Department for an opinion, and expressed the hope that 1t would be favorable.

ERL1N, June U.N.SO
Prof. Auguste Picard and his fel-
low balloonist, Charles Kipfer,
were "captives in the air" and
miraculously escaped death in
their 10-mile-high journey into
the stratosphere, according to
notations in the log of Professor
Picard published today by the
newspaper Achtuhrblatt.
AT one point in their great
adventure above the clouds the
balloonists discovered a rope
connected with the gas valve
had been cut. They feared suf-
location because the oxygen sup
ply had been exhausted, the log
revealed.
If they had not effected their
landing at the critical moment
they did. the Professor expressed
the belief that the super-pressure
inside would have blown up the
gondola.

WONDER GUN'S
PLANS STOLEN
FROM OFFICE
Drawings for Deadly Weapon
Are Removed From Vault
of Automatic Corporation

Plans and specifications for a
new type of machine gun, said
to be the deadlieSt weapon ever
invented. were stolen from the
safe of the Automatic Guns, Inc,
office in the Albee Building.
This was revealed today when
officials of the company called
police.
Important Plans
1t was said that the cracks
men, while they obtained some
important plans and drawings,
failed to find the most essential
specifications.
Members of the compan
secuted the theory that it might
be an ''inside job" They were
unable to throw any light on
the robbery other than to say
that the plans are for a new
type of machine gun that would
be valuable to any foreign power.
New Departure Gum
The new gun, 1t was said, Is
the most rapid and efficient ever
designed. 1t shoots either the
new .5O-caliber shell or even
larger for anti-aircraft defense,
and its mechanism is a decided
departure from any other weapon.
