 Carl Swanson, fisherman on the halibuter Norland, last week spot ted a whitish substance floating near the boat. Putting about, "just for the fun of it'. the men picked up the lump and brought it to Ju- neau.
 It has not been absolutely deter mined whether or not the substance is the rare ambergris or not, but minor tests indicate a strong possi- bility that the stuff is genuine.
 Dr. 0. c. Carter, and his nurse, Mrs. Bonnie Ramsay, conducted what tests were advised in an ency- clopedia, and found results coincid- ing with ambergris description.

 MAINTENANCE
 MEN AT WORK

4 camp was established yester- day two miles below the Canadian boundary on the Stikine by a party Of seven men under Jesse Hill, en- gineer to the International Boun- dary Commission at Washington, D. C.. for the purpose of boundary maintenance and inspection of mon uments.
 Work on the International boun- dary was started in 1901 in the Stikine area and the % foot clear ing carried north and south until it's completion in 1914
 The Stikine line was last slashed in 1923 by party under the super vision of Eekley Guerin. The pres ent party will be in the field until September 10 in which time a 20, foot skyline will be put through the timber.
 MT Hill had his party in the field at Taku river and Skagway before coming to Wrangell This Is his fifth boundary project in AL aska. In 1908 and 1909 he worked as boundary surveyor on the Unuk river, and on the Chilkat in 1910. h 1920 he came back the second time to the Unuk and the Ledue rivers whose waters flow into the Chickamin and thence into Behm Canal
 Two years ago he had charge of the work at Tarr Inlet of Glacier Bay when it was discovered that a 20-mile recession of the glacier ice up the inlet in the past few years had given Canada a third of a mile stretch of open water a mile and quarter wide.
 When the boundary was first sur Yeyed over the glacier it was assum- ed the face rested on land, but it's recession proved it rested on water.
 Thomas Riggs, former Governor of Alaska, and for the past three years United States Commissioner of the International Boundary, passed through Wrangell south bound recently after spending sey- eral weeks in inspecting and de- termining the character of the work to be performed by the field men.

INTERIOR ALAS. WANTS SHARE
 COAST RAINS

Juneau's dampness. precipitation or just plain rain has again stepped into the new record class.
 During a period of S1 days the city has had 22.53 inches of rain fall. 69 days with some precipita- tion and only six days which can be classed as clear, according to the Juneau weather bureau. Comparisons with like periods have not been made because there has been noth- ing like il to compare with.
 But going back to the first of the year. the bureau finds every month in 1888 so far has had more than normal rainfall, June being top" thus far. recording S.91 inches against a normal Of 3.92 inches. The total precipitation since the first of the year is more than 90 inches
 In contrast to the wetness of southeastern Alaska generally and Juneau particularly the biggest rain of the year so far last week fell over the Fairbanks district as the local precipitation gauge recorded .64 inch in 24 hours
 However. the rainfall for the first six and a half months of the year in that district totals only 2.94 inches. only slightly more than half the normal fall. The dry season has hampered mining and river boat op- erations
 No rain for a long spell at Liven- good has suspended practically all placer operations of the camp. the recent rains at Fairbanks having entirely missed LiYengood.

Interpretation. Realizing the wide
variation in the individual capacity

1t is this noted teachers conviction
that no phase of musical experience

knowledge of musical literature as
would any literate person.
The added time used in laying a
broad musical foundation represents
time gained eventually when the
technical mastery required by each
