Christianson had docked and was taking on gasoline when the fire started from an explosion from an undetermined cause. He and Mrs. Christianson were stand- ing on the bow. The flames flared up through a port and a coat Mrs Christianson was wearing caught fire. Although unable to swim she leaped overboard into the water, extinguishing the flames. Capt. Christianson jumped into the water and swam with her to a dock from which she was picked up. Her injuries were not serious, but she lis still confined to the hospital.

Attendance—Annual Exhibit Presented Playing to the largest crowd it has entertained this year, the musi- cal department of the Juneau Pub- lic Schools gave its final concert of 1929-30 in the Grammar School auditorium, last night. Hundreds of local residents packed the balcony and main floor of the auditorium, while many stood in |the cloak rooms and upper hallway to enjoy the instrumental and vo- cal numbers. Previous to the concert, a gen- eral inspection was made by visi- tors of the work done in the grades and in the home economics | and manual training departments of the high school. Each room of the grade school was open for displays of the work accomplished during the year. Most of the rooms had all available wall and desk space taken up with the; exhibit. In the high school displays were Iincluded dresses, etc.,, made by the girls, and architectural drawings, desks, window seats, etc., made inj the manual training department. A speed boat constructed by Edward | Powers and Elmer Swanson, was exhibited in the lower hallway. One of the features of the ex-| hibit was the new Patty Smith Hill | floor blocks being used for the first time in the kindergarten. Less than a month ago a set of these were received here to replace the| former small blocks used. The new blocks afford a much greater varie- ty of work for the little tots, and give them much better exercise in their building, according to their teacher. Ten numbers wereé given on the concert program. Groups which par- ticipated were the Senior and Jun- ior orchestras, boys' glee club, girls’ iglee club, strong orchestra, chorus with orchestra, little symphony an\ Juneau High School band. A clari- net and flute duet was played by William Herriman and Alice Mer- ritt. Edna Riendeau, in a bird- | like soprano voice, sang Le Soir, by Gilbert, accompanied by Alice Mer- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1930. Daily Cross-word Puzzle ACRO! St . 1 SonROSS. ;.

Although plants do not breathe in the human fashion, scientists speak of the “resperation” uf plants. - The green things usc 0xy- gen much like persons. Experiments in shutting off the oxygen supply of tomato plants are reported to the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Sci- ence by P. R. Gustafson, of the University of Michigan.

Siddle, Pathologist, of the University of Missouri. It is something else that stops the heart, such as a failure in the nervous system, he says. In ex- {planation of his point he cut the hearts of monkeys into strips yet the strips continued to beat rhyth- mically for nine to 15 hours after ;being removed from the animals. | "“The heart is tough” says Dr. Siddle. “As far as its own ability to stand wear and tear is concern- ed there is no reason why anybody should not live 1,000 years.” SR AP ST The Mayor of Eastiake, Mich, intends to reduce the tax burden of the 500 persons in his village by raising funds through community dances. no longer is just any jungle cat| that happens along.
