SHAKES NOT
 TO CONTEST
 WIPES WILL

4 motion for dismissal of the appeal in the estate of Susis Shakes was filed Wednesday by B. B. Chis- holm, attorney for the appellant George Shakes. thus halting Gtiga- tion in what promised to be one Ci the most interesting controversies to be found in the dockets of the Wrangell Probate Court Notice or appeal from the order admitting CC probate the Photographic will )f Susie Shakes was filed July 21. Judge Suratt, upon advice from the Clerk of the District Court in Ju- neau, set the appeal bond at $500
 The holograph. which was found in a box of beads. was dated No yember IT, 1918. reads: When to my sister Geo. Vergon Philip Will lie Kelly gave everything what I had my house all my promtey. This is my promise all to my fralmly tSigned) Susie Shakes"
 c. F. Kirtland. vice president oI the Wrargel branch of the Bank of Alaska. and Dr. R. N. Scruby, formerly in the Railway Mail Ser vice, upon comparing the writing on the holograph wiJh the sigma ture on a complaint filed in the Commissioners court September 26. 1893, were of the opinion that the same person who signed the coIa- plaint also wrote the will
 An photographic will is a will en- tirely written, (nor typcwrirtenD dated and signed by the testator himself, and needs no witnesses. Most legal authorities agree that it is not the most satisfactory instru- ment for devising property, due to the fact that the handwriting must he proven, if the will is contested
 Such wills are not valid in all states, but are especially provided for by the Alaska Code. which ad- mits them to probate with or with out attestation.
 The advantages Of the holograph- ic will are its extreme simplicity and the fact that such a will may be executed almost instantly in an emergency, even though the testa- tor is miles away from his nearest neighbor, and at the point of death.

NATURALIST STUDIES
 BIRD, MARINE LIFE

George Willett, ornOthologist for the Los Angeles Museum has been in Petersburg since the first part of June and plans to remain until the end of August studying bird life and collecting marine speci mans, reports the Petersburg Press
 Mr. Willett lived in Alaska for a number of years before he became associated with the Los Angelea Mu- scum. serving as Deputy U. & Mar shall under Major George Beat mont. He also trolled at Forestry Island.
 During his present stay MT. Will cit has been going out regularl . with one of Earl Dinners shrimp boats to study the marine life in Gigenous to these waters He says that all the shrimp fishermen are bringing back specimens for him and he now has an extensive col lection to take back. It includes a. bout Is species of shrimp. crabs, and other forms of sea life. Concerning bird life MT. Willett says that the Arctic tern is an in- teresting creature There is large nesting colony near Baird Glacier in Thomas Bay and this is about the most southerly part of Alaska , which the bird breeds. The Arctic tern is believed to have the long, est migration flight of any bird il the world, going from the Arctic to spend the winter in the Antarc- tic, and returning again in the summer.
 Mir. Willett exploded a myth con corning the Alaska species of the humming bird It was the long standing belief that these little creatures rode up to Alaska in the summer on the backs of geese. The fact that the humming birds arrive at the same time as the geese, strengthened this belief. However. the humming bird is a splendid fly CT and the species familiar to southeastern Alaskans migrate all the way to Mexico in the winter.
