 They argued about the weather. The moon-man wanted it colder. The woman-sun liked it warmer. The man attacked her with a knife. She left and went to live by the rainbow.
 This tale and others are part of the cosmic beliefs of the north ern Alaska Eskimos recounted in a report by the Bureau of Ameri- can Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution The report was pre- pared by pr. Robert F. Spencer of the University of Minnesota.
 Other beliefs of the still prim- itive people:
 The earth is flat and rests on four wooden pillars, one at each point of the compass.
 Lost hunters are sometimes de- scribed as having fallen over the edge of the flat world.
 The northern lights were be- lieved to bring headaches and pains in the neck. Eskimos turned their backs to the aurora and waved knives to ward off the in fluence.

case involving criminal penal
ties against a taxpayer who

Jacob KosSman, declared many

time when the money was
available.
He appealed the District
Court ruling and the United

charge and ordered a new trial
of the 1854 case. The govern

permit another try for a con-
