Seward’s missing cannon, of Rus

confession.
Seward officials started a
search for the weapon—relic of
Russian ownership of Alaska—as
an aid to celebrations planned for
next year of the city’s golden an
niversary.
The charitably un-named busi
nessman confessed yesterday he
and three companions swiped it

janitor so they hid it at the bot
tom of a 10-foot heap of rubbish

Today is Columbus Day and we
are pausing to pay tribute to a
great explorer and adventurer.
Christopher Columbus was
born in 1451 and died in 1506.
None of his forefathers were sail
ors but were artisans. Columbus
studied astronomy, geometry, and
cosmography at the University
of Pavia. He became a sailor at
the age of 14. Very early in life
he began to love the sea and he
read of the romantic adventures
of Marco Polo. He enlisted the
support of King Ferdinand and
Queen Isabella and set sail on
Aug. 3, 1492 on the flagship Santa
Maria. It was accompanied by the
Pinta and the Nina. On Oct. 12,
land was sighted. Columbus
named the island San Salvador.

English II students have been
studying the drama. They have
had two romanee tales in verse,
one of which was “The Prisoner
of Chillon.’’
The world history class is hav
ing a very interesting study of
the Roman Republic. They have
studied about the long struggle of
the Plebs for power. The rise of
Carthage and the three Punic |
Wars have been interesting. Nu- j
merous maps have been drawn of
these regions.
The first six weeks examina
tions have been held this week.
Report cards will come out next
week.
A very interesting letter has
been received from Vincent Ah

The hunter’s moon will be in
full this coming Saturday. It will
appear very large at the time of
rising. A new planet has made its
appearance since Sept. 3 and was
at its greatest brilliancy last Wed
nesday. It is the planet, Venus,
seen early in the eastern morning
sky. Venus will be our Christ
mas star during the Christmas
season, about 12 degrees lower
than at present.
