SANITARY GROCERY
AND MEAT MARKET
ARE BURCLARIZED

A sardine-hungry burglar broke
into the Sanitary Grocery and Meat
Market early Thanksgiving Day, it
was reported by officials today,
stole $40 from the meat market till
and departed. Check was being
made today to determine if any
supplies had been taken.
Entrance was made through a
trap door in the rear, according to
officers. The burglar apparently
had a pair Of pliers for he had
cut the wire protection in some
places. The fact that the thief was
able to work the meat market cash
register led to the theory that the
burglar may have been familiar
with the place or had made study
of it, officers said.
1t was reported, but unconfirmed,
that second attempt to enter the
place had been made early this
morning, authorities said.

ALMOST SLIDE
VICTIM, 0LIN
IS Thankful
Resident of Mattson Board
ing House Escapes as
Building Falls

Jumping through a window, on
the second story of the Mattson
lodging house, into mud and debris
nearly up to his thighs, extricating
himself and then running into the
darkness directly across the slide
sinking up to his knees at times
and finally reaching the Home
Boarding house, was the experience
of Eric Olin last Sunday evening
following the earth avalanche.
Olin, who arrived from Hirst-
Chichagof several weeks ago, had
a room on the second floor of the
Mattson Lodging house, one of the
buildings demolished ;r the slide.
DIN was lying. on the bed in his
room attired only In his underwear
and reading a magazine.
Woman in Kitchen
He heard Mrs. Mattson and Mrs
Lena Peterson talking in the kit
chen, which was almost beneath his
room Suddenly he heard roar
then the lights went out. The house
moved a little, He heard the two
women scream. Almost directly
another roar occurred. That was
caused by the second slide, and the
house moved again.
Rocks anu dirt began dashing and
moving into his room. He sprang
from his bed, located chair,
smashed the window and jumped
into the mud and debris. In the
dim light he saw the outline of the
Home Boarding House, across the
slide and away he sped, only in
his underwear, and harefooted.
Sinking first ankle deep, then
knee deep he made his way across
the slide. Two men with pocket
searchlights were hastily coming up
from the Home Boarding House.
They saw Olin and directed him
to go to the house, which he fl
nally reached, and secured suitable
apparel.
Is Thankful
DIN has bruises on one side of
the head, perhaps made when he
jumped through the window or per-
haps by rocks while crossing the
slide.
Olin ESCAPED. however. and he is
thankful and that was the way he
appeared in the office of The En-
pire yesterday, Thanksgiving Day
to tell his story.

has been found in the debris. Pos

Students Of the military and naval

classification regarding the striking
power of the different armies and
navies on the basis of their actual
fighting ability-not the number OF
men:
The best military machinery in
Europe today is the German army
which. according to many who have
studied It carefully, is considered even
better than it was in 1914 The next
on the list is the French: the third
the Yugoslav. then the British and
the Italian.
The Soviet army, despite the large
NUMBER of men and the important
improvement of its technical materiel
comes last on the list.
\
The British navy is still the mosi
powerful in Europe; TIE second place
being equally shared by France ano
Italy. The Germans are not in Q
position to challenge yet the last two
navies, although within the next three
or four years they will be in position
to compete with the latter two fol

Mrs. Abbe's husband was given the
nickname "Old Probabilities" for his
pioneer weather foercasting work in
Cincinnati, where he was director of
the Astronomical Observatory. In
1869, with the support of the Cincin-
natl Chamber of Commerce and the
Western Union Telegraph Co., he
gathered daily reports from about a
dozen points and from them made
predictions so efficient that in Febru-
ary, 1870, Congress established fore
casting service under the Army Signal
Corps and put him in charge. He was
professor of meteorology with the
Weather Bureau from 1871 until his
death in 1916. Universities here and
abroad honored him with degrees and
medals.
In addition to his work with the
weather, DR.. Able was one of the pro-
moters of standard time and of many
of the basic standards used by the
United States Bureau of Standards.
Mrs. Able was native of st. Kits,
British West Indies, where she was
born In 1865. She came to the United
States in 1891 and in 1909 married
Prof. Able, then 10 years old. She was
his second wife.
