this period was 81. This indicated
that on some 33rd day there was
an end to the slaughter. Thus the
SSrd day is considered a festival
to indicate that there was a limit
to Jewish persecution.
Others claim that Bar Kochba
defeated the Romans on this day
during his unsuccessful. revolt
against them in 1875 c. E. Others
claim this to be the birthday and
the day Of the death of the great
Rabbi Simeon Ben Yochai who is
regarded as the author of the
Cabbalists's text "Zohar." In
many sources it is called the
Scholars festival" because the
events that made it great seemed
to have dealt with scholars of one
kind or another.

QUESTION: Why is it Gus.

with bows and arrows on this
day?
ANSWER: An interesting va
riety of reasons are offered. Most
interesting, perhaps, is one which
claims that the custom symbolizes
the deception VIII C h Rabbi ST.
neon Ben Yochai's students en-
ployed to outwit the guards who

would carry bows and arrows into
the forest to give the appearance
of archers on a hunt.

Who Can Guess When Panama River Will Go Out?

 and there would go the tripod. Of course Old Sol will have to do a lot of shining before that large flow of water comes down. Al Linder tempers this state ment somewhat with a descrip- ton of an old-timer named Cal houn, who lived up river from across from the Mission. Ie seems that Calhoun kept a set of books comparable to those that might be kep by a chartered public account ant. In those books he kept a daily record, weather, snowfall, etc. He kept a twice monthly check of the depth of ice, as we'll as any information he felt might be per- tinent to the annual spring break up.
 A group of old-timers, some twenty or more used to buy cer- tain number of tickets and take them up to Calhoun, who would form a pool and do the ticket marking based entire, of course, on his scientific set of books. After much checking and cross check ing of his records for many years passed, Calhoun picked THE day. He then wrote a ticket for each odd minute of the day from mid morning until some time shortly after six pm.
 Al says the day Calhoun picked was all right. It was wonderful show of scientific legerdemain, only one thing wrong with it. You guessed it. The ice went out on an even minute and the members of the pool nearly had heart failure.
 Linder still wonders where that wonderful set of records went af- ter Calhoun passed on.
 About all this little story shows is, that a fellow standing or the deck of halibut boat in South eastern Alaska, or trapper above Fort Yukon, pulling up his traps, has as much chance or maybe
