DISTANT UN|VERSES
WILL Be EXPLORED
Noted Astronomer Hopes to
Look 400,0oO,0OO Years
Into Past With New Glass.

By the Associated Press.
MOUNT WILSON OBSERVATORY,
Calf. April 23-Dr. Edwin Hubble,
noted explorer of the skies, hopes soon
to view island universes as they existed
some 100000 900 years ago.
Before the astronomers and astro-
physicists of the Carnegie Institution OF
Washington Laboratory here yesterday
he discussed explorations among distant
nebula with a 100-inch telescope, now
the worlds largest.
Mystifying problems had developed
he said, that perhaps will be solved only
by erection of the proposed new ZOO
inch telescope of the Carnegie lnstitu-
ton in Southern California.
Then, he said, it will be known
whether some remote island unlverses
are travelling at apparent Veloclt,eS OF
two and a quarter million miles a
minute away from this neighborhood OF
the skies.
It all hinges upon the Interpretation
of what is known as the Red Shift in
the spectrum of these island universeS,
which he said he believed to be evidence
of the recession of the nebula.
The present 100-inch telescope has an
observable limit of 300,000.000 light
years. A light year is equivalent to six
million million miles, being the distance
IlgnC travels III yedI' SpeCC4oSI oPlAiN
analysis of nebula is possible at only
half that distance.
Milton U. HumaSon, assistant to DR..
Hubble, sometime ago completed a spec
trum Specograph of a nebula about
100 1000 900 light years distance, esti-
mating its speed of travel through
space to be II 900 miles second.
DR.. Hubble said the proposed 200-inch
telescope would reveal some four to six
times as many distant island universes
as the present instrument, and unveil
the secret of variations in their lum-
mostly. He estimates some 30,000,00O
island universes are in the present OBJ
servable region.

BURCL ARS' CUT THEIR WAY INTO JUNEAU-Y0UNC'S
Safe Is Not Molested and Stock Is Checked to
 Ascertain Loss

Burglars last night entered the store of the Juneau-Young Hard ware Company on Front Street. They did not molest the safe or anything else in the office. A check of the large and diversified stock of the establishment is now in progress to ascertain what, if any, goods were taken by the intruders.
 The police are conducting a thoro Tgh investigation. Chief George Getchell is reticent regard ing results.
 On the tide flats beneath the rear of the store, which rests on piling about Is feet above the ground, the burglars stacked emp ty boxes. From the top of these, they cut hole through the floor of room immediately back of the display and sales room. With a chisel and pick-point they pried open the intervening locked door
 It is not improbable that before they could carry out their plan Of footing the place, they were fright ened away by something or some body.

arguments relating TO inclusion OF ex-
