Mixed Up
By Kel Williams
As far as a sthr, as near to a year,
Wrote a crazy young fool while day
dreaming unclear.' * "
What it meant, he knew not, why he wrote
it he forgot, ■*
To whom he wrote it, he111 never really
know. v
As sure as sure, as white as snow,-'
Can this be a riddle or a rhyme. '
It!s so hard to tell you most of the time
So listen closely and 1*11 reveal*
The secret of his.words and the feeling
he feels.
Look out in the sky, away far away,
Pick out a bright star and watch it all
day.
Every one wonders yet still you should
go. : , ■
But Hhe star11 need not be one'in the
sky and”as .near to a year’1 could be days
gone by.:' • r ' -f;. : !

As'^far as a star” means someones in love
and the .symbol he uses is her ‘star above
The true moral here is so hard to tell
It’s evident someone loves, talks to
wishing wells
For someones. lost a love, and it*s been
many a noon many a tear past many a tune
NOTES FROM THE OL! SOURDOUGH’S NATURE
NOTEBOOK
Another octupus was caught in Sweeper j
Cove as it was raiding the shrimp pots j
off the docks. This one was caught by j
Chief Chambers. Although it isn’t well^^
known that octupuses are common in cold^P
waters,they are common in Alaskan waters j
The largest octupuses I have ever heard !
captured was at Seward, Alaska. Octu- ;
puses are molluscs and are related to j
the squids, clams, and oysters.
We thought that all species of shells ;
on Adak were represented in the museum j
but the Cooper children, Jimmy, age 6, j
and Lorraine, age 10, proved us wrong, j
They found at Clam Lagoon last week what j
we think is a different species of cockle j
shell. They will donate the shells to I
[‘the museum. New York had its mad bomber, 1
! London had Jack the Ripper, Hong Kong, I
| had the hatchet man but those guys were j
I small stuff compared to Adaks madman who
I keeps damaging and swiping articles from ?
I the museum. The last incident to be re- j
[ported was breaking into the crab case j
[and tearing a leg from the King Crab.
Maybe the poor boy is hungry! Much j
[EFFORT from many people goes into the i
I mseun for the benefit of all. It is I
I hoped that more respect will be given to I
! the displays in the future. j
Following are a few Jrecipes sent in j
jby one of our readers for preparing oct- j
jupus and squids
f Pull out the beak of the octupus and I
[discard. Rinse 3-4 times in clear water. \
[Cut out eyes with scissors and place j
[ octupus in pan of boiling water. Simmer I
rwhole for'l/2 hour. The black skin will j
i begin to peel away. Peel away all skin j
[ and rinse in cold water.- ' Cut into small f
