Uind beginning to get you down? Just think

But surely, one of the windiest p]a cos in
all the world is in our own Alaska, at
Cape- Prince of vales, the most westerly
point of the Seward Peninsula. The chief
feature of the Cape. * is a mountain which is j
more than 2000 feet high, and its peak is
assaulted by storms sweeping in from the
north virtually throughout the year. The
freezing arctic wind blows so continuously
that the northern side of the mountain is
always coated with masses of snow-crystals
which often saaumc fantastic & apes. This
is true even in the middle of the very shore
summer season. Ev en on the 30th of august
one survey official found himself almost
blown into the seai, and the Eskimoes said
the gale had been blowing continuously
