OLD EARTH SLOWING DOWN
Some lime days on this globe will be 48 hours long with
an average of 24 hours of sunlight followed by 24 hours of
darkness. So says Dr. Seth B. Nicholson of Mount Wilson
Observatory near Pasadena, California, but it will take
something iiko 8.000,000.000 years for this to become a fact,
so there is no need of anyone now alive to worry about it.
Days are now lengthening at the rate of one second in 100,
000 years, Dr. Nicholson declares, due to the gravitational
pull of tho moon as shown in the tides. This pull tends to
chock the speed of the earth in its revolutions.
EARTH WRINKLES MAKE WEATHER
We do a lot of talking about the weather. Probably
more words are piled up about that subject in the course of
a year than about any other. Yet, so the savants say, wea
ther is not natural. That is to say, it is not a normal condi
tion on the earth's surface.
It seems that back of all history except that written in
rock formations, for at least nine-tenths of the earth’s exist
ence. there was no such thing as “weather,” as we under
stand it. There were no variations of temperature, no
storms; every day was the same, and if there had been a
man on the face of the earth he could have drawn up an
almanac forecasting weather 10.000 years in advance.
That’s what the rocks show. One may take it or leave
it. There is a recent book, written by E. E. Free and Travis
Hoke for the layman, which is calculated to upset all of his
theories about weather. Probably it disturbs the weather
sharks at Washington also; but bound up in department red
tape, there isn’t much they can do about it.
One learns from this compilation that until the earth
cooled sufficiently to wrinkle its surface the whole year was
just a fine spring day. The wrinkles, the hills and valleys,
the seas and deserts, with the assistance of the sun and the
polar regions, create the weather. The wrinkles compare
somewhat with the scratches on a billiard ball, but they are
sufficient to cause movements of the air and those move
ments cause weather. There you have it. Simple, isn’t it?

Changes Made In
Fur And Game Re
gulations For 1935
Press Release—Immediate:
Juneau Alaska June 18th 1935
The Executive Office of the Alas
ka Game Commission today announ
ced changes in fur and game regula
tions for the 1935-36 season to be
come effective on July 1st 1935. The
outstanding changes are as follows:
FFR
Slight modifications have been
made in Regulation 19, the most im- j
portant of which are the closing of
the seasons throughout the Terri
tory for the taking of beavers and
martens, which have been so heavi
ly trapped during the past several
years as to endanger the mainten
ance of ample breeding stocks in
many sections. However, in view
of the severe economic conditions
prevailing among the people who
must depend on wildlife for the ma
jor portion of their incomes, the
Commission will continue its survey
of these furbearers and if sufficient
numbers are found in any of the
districts to safely warrant open sea
sons supplementary circulars will be
issued to this effect at a later date. ,
Black bears, the hides of which
have fallen so low in the market as
to no longer merit much cortsidera
tion as commercially valuable fur
bearers, have gradually assumed
more importance as a game animal
and for this reason summer protec
tion has been afforded them between
the period June 20 and September 1
in Fur Districts 1 and 2. A bag
limit of 2 is prescribed.
In response to numerous requests
from traders and trappers the white
fox open season in that part of Dis
trict 5 north of the Unalakleet River
has been extended from its present
closing date of February 28th to
March 31, while the muskrat season
in the same area has been extended
from its present closing date of May
31 to June 7 in order to include the
breakup on the Selawik and Kokuk
Rivers.
GAME
For the first time since the incep
tion of the Alaska Game Law in
1925 a Resident Hunting License,
the fee for which is $1.00, has been
placed in effect in the First Judicial
Division. Trappers in possession of
the regular Resident Trapping Li
cense will not be required to pur
chase the additional hunting license.
As a result of unusual increase in
Sitkan deer transplanted from South
eastern Alaska several years ago a
short open season is to be permitted
under Regulation 10 for the taking
of deer in the Prince William Sound
drainage except on Hawkins and
Knight Islands. Hunting will be
permitted only under a sperial per
mit procurable from the local game
warden and the bag limit is set at
one legal buck deer.
In keeping with the provisions of

the Admiralty Island Bear Manage
ment Plan, two brown bear sanctu
aries are provided on Admiralty Is
land under Regulation 14—the Tha
yer Mountain area of 60 square
miles, and the Pack Creek area of

11 the resident and nonresident bag
limit on this island is reduced from
2 to 1 each open season.
To assure the maintenance of am
ple breeding herds, mountain sheep
and mountain goats are given com
