The lid is off again in Fairbanks.
A sudden and violent wind storm,
which sprang up along about four
o’clock this morning, tore off about
50 feet of the iron roof of the
federal courthouse building, whirled
it over the telegraph wires and
deposited it in a twisted mass on
Second avenue, at the rear of the
Model cafe, more than half a block
from the point of starting. The
wind howled and made things lively
for about an hour. Besides the dam
age done to the roof of the court
house. the gale tore off the anchor
ing wires of the new telephone lines
at the corner of Fourth avenue,
and was responsible for several min
or accidents and damage around
town.
Tinner Wilbur is busy today mak
ing temporary repairs to the court
house roof. He is filling the gap with
roofing paper as a temporary meas
ure. as a snowstorm threatens. The
torn off portion of the roof has
been presented to Roy Shafer on
condition that he remove it forth
with. thereby restoring traffic on
Second avenue, and he is now busy
taking the iron apart and carting
it away. Pinkis is helping him
move the stuff.
It is an ill wind that does not
blow somebody some good. Ike
Thompson, as he was passing along
Front street this morning near the
Vining store, was attracted by some
thing shining in a pile of snow,
which the wind had blown together.
Or, picking up the object he dis
covered that it was a 50-cent bingle.
Further investigation brought to
light other bingles and when he had
concluded his search, he had $1.75
worth of these adjuncts of trade.
Thompson advances the theory that

The pupils of the Fairbanks!
School have begun “Silent Read- J
ing" to partially replace the “Oral
Reading” which has been empha- ;
thized to this time. Experimental
results in the last few years have
brought about a radical shift in
emphasis upon the aim to be ac
complished in reading. Ora! reading
aims especially at correct pronun
ciation of words. Silent reading
aims primarily at thought getting
or understanding what is read. It
has been determined that material
read silently is better understood
than material read orally.
