SEATTLE PAPER
NOTED ARTISTS OF SEATTLE IN
CLUDE FORMER PREACHER
ARTIST OF CORDOVA
In the November 15 issue of the Se
attle Post-Intelligencer, the work of
Seattle painters attracted favorable
comment with their exhibits in the
art gallaries. Among them were Eu
stace Zeigler, well known in Seward,
and for many years a resident at Cor
dova.
The article, with which was also
published a good likeness of Mr. Zeig
ler, was as follows:
The old saw regarding the fame of
prophets, might easily be applied to
artists. The Northwest, for example
is the home of many painters who are
much better known East than in their
own country. Among them are sever
al living in Seattle.
Eustace P. Zeigler is one of them.
His time is spent between Seattle and
Alaska, where he has lived for six
teen years, painting mountains and
forests and people, often in an alti
tude of 8.000 feet. He studied with
Paulus and Perrault.
One of Mr. Zeigler’s paintings, "An
Arctic Madonna,” was recently dis
played in the Anderson Galleries in
New York. In this exhibit 136 pic
tures were selected from more than
1,000 entries. The mural decorations
in the Alaska Steamship company of
fices are his. Another of his pictures
will head the stairs on the S.S. Ala
meda. At present he is painting sev
eral hunting pieces for the vice pres
ident of the National Cash Register
company. Mr. Zeigler’s work is a
sympathetic portrayal of the Alaskan
scene. He works in all mediums. One
of his woodcut bookplates is in the
.exhibit at the book fair in the Fred
erick and Nelson store auditorium.
For every square meal, play two
rounds of golf.
Many a homeless house hath a
brown stone front.
Chicago stands 119th in the list of
cities of the United States in the rate
of salary to school teachers.

THRILLING TRIP
ARCTIC CREW,
POLAR REGIONS
UNUSUAL ICE CONDITIONS PAST
YEAR ARCTIC REGION—SHIP
SAVED FROM DISASTER
OTTAWA, Dec. 4. —An adventur
ous trip in the polar region is that
which has been made the past sum
mer on the Arctic, by Captain Bernier
and the official government expedition
now on the way home. An account of
it was received here at the interior de
partment.
The most experienced Arctic navi
gators have never seen such ice con
ditions as this year. They are attri
buted to the exceptionally late season
and the Canadian expedition, caught
in the ice fields, was unable to reach
its objective, and the MacMillan party
was also interfered with.
Some of the best motion pictures
ever taken of polar animal life have
been secured. The bears came to with
ji fifty yards of the ship.
On landing at Godhaven, Danish
and native representatives entertained
the Arctic crew. Those in charge of
the Canadian expedition expect little
result from the polar flight of MacMil
lan’s airplanes.
On one occasion at Cape York the
Arctic became pinned against an enor
mous iceberg, while others rapidly
bore down on her. Only by prompt
action of the navigating officers was
the ship extricated from the peril of
being either sunk or crushed. For
tunately the wind was favorable and
the midnight sun gave plenty of light
while the gigantic menace was being
avoided.
To add to the danger the engines
stopped for ten minutes and sails had
to be used, fortunately the vessel was
able to get under way and avoid the
crisis, but the experience was one of
the most thrilling ever encountered.
NEW WIRELESS
STATION FOR
ARCTIC COAST
OFFICERS MAROONED AT HER
SCHEL ISLAND LAST YEAR
IN CHARGE STATION
Another wireless station has been
erected by the Canadian government
on the Arctic coast and is now in op
eration. The new station is at Acla
vik and is under the supervision of
Lieut. Young and two others members
of the R. C. C. S. Young and his as
sistants were marooned at Herschel
Island for over a year. They were sent
to Herschel Island last year to erect
a radio station there but all the equip
ment was lost when the Hudson’s Bay
Company’s steamed Lady Kindersley
was crushed in the Arctic ice. Upon
receipt of advice that the new station
would be at Aclavik the three men
made the trip to the little village on
the Arctic coast in order to choose a
suitable location. Supplies for the
new station were brought to Aclavik
the past summer.

BRITISH WOMEN TAKE FENCING;
TO KEEP FIT AND TRIM FIGURE
LONDON, Dec. 4. (£>)—American
women opposed to excess flesh and
in search of means to retain an at
tractive figure might follow the ex
ample of those English women who
believe fencing keeps them graceful
and slender as well as healthy.
The Professional Women’s Physi
cal Culture Club, just organized
here, made fencing one of the prin
cipal exercises. The idea is not to
develop the Amazonian type of wo
man, with bulging muscles and
large wrists and ankles, but to en
sure the health and figure of women
who have to remain most of the day
in a sitting position.
