Pioneer Is Given His Sight
 Alaska Tourists

A copy of the Juneau Empire dat ed July 26th contains the following interesting article:
 SITKA, Alaska, July 26-When the yacht "Seyellen IT. arrived in Sitka no one was particularly con- cerned about it. Too many yachts arrive these days to cause any ex- citement, but it was a lucky event for J. E. Kenny, a resident of the Pioneers Home since May T. Kenny is a well known roadhouse keeper and proSpector from the Anchorage district, For the past year he has been totally blind due to cataracts on both eyes.
 On board the yacht was Dr. John E. Weeks, internationally known eye specialist of New York, and Dr. Davis of Portland, who ranks as one of the foremost eye men of the Pa cifc Coast.
 pr. Weeks and Dr. Davis visited the Pioneers Home and informed Dr. Nicholson, the attending physi- clan that they would be glad to look at any men with eye trouble.
 After looking at the pioneers with eye affiictions and advising them what to do they decided that it would be possible in the case of Kenny to operate and restore his sight. Without formality or pretence they performed the operation.
 Although pr. Weeks is past 30 years of age he has a clear eye and a steady hand, and there is no ques- ton that in two weeks Kenny will be able to see. Dr. Weeks is so we'll known that the King of Siam came to this country to seek his attention.
 Kenny is the happiest man in Alaska. He knows that in a few weeks he will be able to see the Pioneers Home where he has been feeling his way around for the past two months. He will also be able to recognize his former friends and

JUNEAU BAND GIVES OPEN
 AIR CONCERT
Nineteen Piece Organiza- ton Heads Parade and
 Plays at Ball Game

A nineteen piece Juneau City Band greatly enliyened the cele- bration of the Fourth.
 At 8 o'clock Wednesday evening, a concert was given in Triangle Place. Hundreds of townspeople and hundreds of visitors, many from the Prince Robert, lined Front Street and for over an hour heard overtures, snappy marches, dreamy waltzes and spirited fox trots. The concert was brought to close with the rendition of the Star Spangled Banner that brought the hats off the male portion and salutes from the female section.
 Yesterday the citizens knew the celebration was on when the band swung down Front Street to the City Dock, playing military airs. for the start of the parade. The band headed the turnout up Front Street to Seward where a stop was made while the judges of the chill dren's section were making the prize awards and played several selections there, then continued along Main Street and Willoughby Avenue to the Baseball Park where the parade feature of the Fourth was disbanded.
  [ The band was again on hand at the baseball game in the afternoon and played before the game and between the innings.

Weather Perfect

The weather-it could not have been better if made to order. Not drop of rain fell during the parade and it was not until about 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon that a shower threatened to disrupt the afternoon events, but this soon passed. It was not too hot nor was it too cool, just right for everybody to enjoy themselves.
 Bent on Amusement Amusement places were crowded Wednesday night and again last night. Restaurants and other re- freshment establishments reported a big business. Hotels accommo- dated scores C. visitors while others slept aboard their own craft that brought them in from canneries and mining camps.

AQUAPLANINC STUNT DRAWS
 LARGE CROWD
Don Clark on Surf Board Frank Knight in Gorst
 Flying Boat, Thrill

Hundreds of citizens and visitor! crowded the Pacific Coast dock, the ferry float, the Alaska Air Trans port float and the Government dock yesterday afternoon to watch the flying oat-aquaplane stunt per formed in Gastineau Channel, by Don Clark. lowed on surf board behind the Gorst Air Transport flying boat piloted by Frank Knight,
 The Gorst plane left the Alaska Air Transport float under full pow CT with the aquaplane in tow al the end of a 3o0-foot line, made a wide, sweeping turn past the Gov ernment Dock and strengthened ou; in the general direction of the Douglas dock. When a speed of more than 70 miles was reached on the straightaway, the surf board ridden by Clark made series of leaps entirely clear of the water, increasing in violence until finally the board turned nose down in the air and struck the water with a diving jolt which parted the tow line and unloaded Clark very pre- cipitately.
 Gets Ducking
 Ken Jones. flight mechanic, who acted as observer aboard the flying b1at, quickly informed pilot Knight Of the accident and Knight execut- ei sharply banked, fast turn to the rescue.

Pilot Knight continued in a wide turn to the left under reduced speed about 30 miles per hour-until near the Juneau side of the channel where the throttle again roared full volume.
 Clark, Board part
 Near the Pacific Coast dock, in close view of the majority of the spectators, the surf board again ex- ccuted a series of flying leaps which ultimately resulted in a very spec tacular parting of Clark and the board, Clark was rescued from his aecond involuntary imcrsion by Fred Crdway Of OrdWay's Photo Shop, who was nearby taking pictures of the stunt from a rowboat rcWed by Boatsx xains Mate Cfc) E.

NOISY FOURTH, l BUT JOLLY ONE
 IS CELEBRATED
Crowds Line Streets-Res taurants, Amusement
 Places Crowded

Juneau's Fourth was without doubt the noisiest and jolliest for many years. The constant banging of fireerackers, bursting of bombs and hissing of countless skyrockets started uproariously early Wednes- day evening and continued far into yesterday morning. Hundreds of citizens went home with headaches from the bursting noise makers. There was dirth of celebration until parade time when the fire works started again and did not end until early this morning.
 Downtown Celebration
 It was the first time in many years that fireworks celebra- tion has been permitted in the down town section on account of fire hazard but due to the heavy rains that have fell lately this danger was greatly eliminated.
 Merchants dealing in fireworks laid in extra quantities and oual- ities and the majority sold out, or nearly so.

CAY INDICATES
ACCEPTANCE

NEW YORK, March 25-In a
statement made public today,
Charles R. Gay. member of White"
house and Company, says that the
nomination for the presidency OF
the New York Stock Exchange
has not been offered to him but
he indicates that he is in a re-
ceptive mood for it.
Mr.. Gay, who is one Of seven
men whose names have been pro"
posed to the nominating commit
tee, indicates, however, that he
will support any choice made by
the committee in preference to any
independent" candidate.
The members Of the committee,
as revealed in the New York
American, have endorsed the Gay
candidacy informally, h owe ever.
These circumstances raise the
question of what attitude Richard
Whitney, present president Of the
committee, who has been proposed
for the nomination also, will take
toward the matter. All efforts
to ascertain an answer to the
question have failed.
Other Candidates
The point Of "r egularity,"
that is, accepting the decision Of
the nominating committee, raised
by Gay, suggests that candidates
for other offices of the inStitu-
ton may or may not follow a
similar course,
