CHIEF NICHOLAI
SAYS WINTER
WILL BE MILD
Everything is well ami the world
skips merrily from the perihelion to
the aphelion. Chief Nicholai the
Ninth has spake and in the spaking
lies the solacing thought that the com
ing winter is to he a mild and a pleas
antly bright one. No more will it be
necessary to wory over the number
of gloomy days that, according to
Hoyle and the Great Law of Averages,
should mark the passing of the win
ter months. There will be no gloom.
So says Nicholai the Ninth. To be
sure, it is not the same Nicholai who
from his humble cabin overlooking
Chester creek during the past three
years has acted as the official prog
nosticator for Anchorage, but it is
the shade of that worthy old abo
rigine. That the shade is a worthy
offshoot of the* Mighty Fish Eater
who has gone to become a part of the
Malamute heaven is evidenced by the
fact that the shade wears the same
moccasins as worn by the Ancestor
and calls for salmon bellies in the
same tone of voice.
“Gluk to Hee Gluk Fezerresers.
Snow fall not muckle and Sun Him
long time come not much hide.” In
these words did the successor of the
Once Great Warrior of the Knik Tribe
embody the character of the coming
weather. As he gave birth to these
few wordy gems of siwash wisdom,
four stalwart offsprings of his loins,
with an aggregate height of liVz feet,
were gathered in the corner of the
ancestral cabin, which had done serv
ice for thirty-one generations, and as
they wrestled with the cooties and the
remnants of six dog-faced salmon, nod
ded in silent accord their assent to
the words of their paternal forebear.
Nicholai the Ninth is a great man
among his own people. He tells them
every Wednesday afternoon what the
weather is going to be for the next
week. Depending upon his message,
or hooligans from the llarrel of the
the sons of the Father snatch salmon
Tribe. If the weather is to be bad
they snatch salmon in order that the
odor which emanates from the fatty
sides of the King of the Sea may ward
off the melancholy moods springing
from bad weather, but if the signs for
the week portend good weather, the
pride of the Kniks take a bundle of
Hooligans to their bosom. Epictetus
says that there is greater oil content
in the Hooligan than in the salmon.
