T axe eMyWord for 1t
By Frank Colby

Science fiction: Whodunits-
they're wonderful! And I never
fail to find the much-needed
escape from worldly cares by
the reading of those horrif1c
tales inclosed between paper
covers.
But there are limits to what
one can swallow. For instance,
I have just finished a story
(neither scientific nor bloody,
supposedly in which the author
described a species of humanity
never before dreamed of. What
would you think if this line sud-
denly jumped at you?
g. his eyes wandered slowly
around the room"
Ghastly, isn't it? I can't help
wondering-did they roll around
like dimes? Like marbles? Did
they climb the walls? Or did
they remain sedately on the
floor. And what was he doing
all the time his eyes were wan
dering around?
That's merely start. Later
in the story the author tells US,
6. then his eyes fastened
themselves to Julia"
Poor girl! To do her justice,
the author stated that she
blushed"; but who wouldn't? I
am almost inclined to think of
Julia as normal, until: She
asked him to remove his arm;
which he did. though unwilling
ly." I should think so. It's not
said what was done with the
arm after he removed it. I
thought perhaps he gave it to
her to hang on the wall, until
learned that g. e. . he suddenly
lost his head" So probably it
was his head that she put on
the wall. Then after he lost his
head, g. she gave him her
hand! A poor exchange. What
kind of people are these who are
able to remove portions of their
anatomy at will?
Frankly, the whole thing
makes my stomach turn f1ips.
Especially after reading that
I" her eyes followed him all
the way down the road and
across the meadow"
This story is done for gag"
OF course; but it does illustrate
what a literal mind can do to
f1gurative speech.

Cougars Reported In North Alaska For First Time

FAIRBANKS, R-Cougars are rapidly assuming the status of fly ing saucers in Alaska.
 There are no official records of cougars being found in the more northerly parts of the ter ritory and none have ever been bagged by hunters.
 Yet, reports of cougars being sighted are flooding US. Fish and Wildllfe headquarters here
 At least eight people have re- ported sighting cougars on the Richardson Highway between Big Delta an7 Fairbanks. In addition, natives in the village at Dot Lake have reported finding cougar tracks, or at least tracks that were unlike any they had ever seen before.
 Fish and Wildlife agents here said cougars are not supposed to be roaming the flat tundra coun- try around Big Delta. But they said there was always the possib- ility that some of the big cats were arriving here after making their way north from British Col umbia, where they abound.
 The agents pointed out that pre- vious to 1920 no coyotes were found in the Territory, but that in the past 30 years they have migrated north from Canada until they now populate most of Alaska.
