THE DATE OF EASTER
The question as to what rule governs
the date upon which Easter falls is
often astced, but it is not generally
understood. Easter is the Sunday
which follows that 14th da; of the
calender moon falling upon or next after
the 21st day of Maroh. It follows that
thou'd the 14th day of the new moon
fall on March 21 and that day be Satur
day, Eister would be March 22, the
earliest possible day upon which it
can occur. The latest day of the
year upon which Easter can come if
April 27.
It the 14th day of a new moon should
occur March 20, near midnight, it would
be another lunar month from that date
before the termination of tbe first 14th
day of a calendar moon after March 21.
The mean* length of a lunar month is
29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.7
seconds, but some times, depending
upon the peculiar action of the sun,
the month is longer than th it, the ex
treme being 12 hours longer. Grant
ing this limit, it will be seen by refer
ence to a calendar that it is possible for
the first 14th day of a moon to occur on
or after March 21 to terminate April
20. Should such occur, and should
April 20, be a Sunday Easter would not
take place until one week from that
day, or April 27, To bring it so late,
however, would require such a peculiar
and unusual chain of circumstances
that April 26 is usually fixed as the
latest day upon which it could '-ccur.
That even that is unusual is evid need
by the fact that it has not occured so
late as th.it in the last 100 years ana
will not so occur in the next 100.
Ia 1813 Eister was on March 22, the
earliest possible date;- The latest date
for Easter in the last century was in
1869? April 24. The latest date in the
present century will be in 1943 ? April
25.

A JOYODi DAY
For a wee* the church preparations,
the decjrations of the store windows
and the advertisements of the mer
chants have heralded the approach o'
Easter Sunday which will be observed
here tomorrow in much the same man
ner as it will be observed in all Chria
countrie*.
Easter is one of the joyous days of
the year? und is become one of the
most cosmopolitan. To the religious
world it m irks the anniversary of the
resurrection, the sweet recompense for
the sadness surrounding the crucifixion.
To ssciety it means the termination of
Lent and the resumption of the gaities
and pleasures which make so great a
part of the lighter side of life. To the
tradesman It begins a period of activity
in trade that is welcomed after the
dullness tbat usually accompanies the
somber days of the Lenten season. To
some ? of course that does not ai>ply to
Skagwayans? it is an opportunity not
ooly to display new bonnets and other
apparel but one to observe the new
spring attire of otber chuch goers and
promenade?. To the children there
are the eggs in flamboyant colors, the
grotesque binnies and chicks and
pretty cards. There is joy, therefore,
in the Easter occasion for everybody in
the land? in this queer old lanJ, where
religion and p.ofanation, the sacred acd
sacrilege are wedged in together and
pass so nearly on a par, one with the
other, in everyday affairs.
"James Schupp, deputy United States
marshal at Juneau. Alaska," is the way
the Seattle Poet-Intelligencer refers to
James M. Shoup, our vetern marshal,
prominently mentioned for- delegate in
congress. "S:ch is fame."

TENTH INFANTRY
COMING NORTH
The two battalions of the Tenth in
fantry now stationed at Fort. Lawton,
Seattle, and Fort Wright, in Spokane,
are looking forward to being ordered to
Alaska to take the places of the Third
infantry, now garrisoning the several
terJitorial posts, according to the
statement of army officers in Seattle
yesterday says the Seattle Times of
April 6.
The policy of the war department to
reduce the military strength in Alaska
from twelve companies to eight gives
ground to the anticipation on the part
of the troops in Washington, in addition
to their nearness to the posts in ques
tion.
The Third battalion of the Tenth in
fantry is now on duty at the Hawaiian
islands and will not be disturbed.
