WEATHER S8YNOPSIS The barometric pressure was low this morning from the Aleutians southeastward to Oregon, while high pressure prevailed over the Arc- tic Coast and over the Pacific Ocean in the vicinity of the Hawaiian { Islands. This general pressure distribution has been attended by pre- ' cipitation along the coastal regions from Unalaska osutheastward to California, also at Fairbanks and Nome, elsewhere over the field of observation fair weather prevailed. -~ SKAGWAY PASTOR TO UGLAS | GO TO POINT BARROW L The Rev.

The North Sea was formerly the: are best, zero weather. Yew has another disadvantage, he explained, as ‘it loses strength in hot weather, but it is supreme in temperate cli- mates. “Yew is the king of all woods for bow construction,” he said, “but like other monarchs, has many moods.” The yew boy is strung with a composite string of 12 strands of 25 pound test cuttyhunk line, and will stand an actual strain of 500 pounds. Mr. Young, who also manufac- tures his own arrows, has with him a quantity of shafts fitted with various types of heads, including broadhead, lancelet, bullethead, and target pile. Accuracy is governed almost entirely by the fletching, or feathers attached to the shaft, which corresponds to the rifling !in a gun-barrel, and the shafts are 'made from Port Orford cedar or | birch | Although turkey and geese | feathers are generally used for fletching, he said, eagle feathers but cannot be obtained arder to abandon ship was given | Admiral Peoples and was built ni|in commercial quantities. a “matter of precaution.” Manahan, at noon ed, no word had been received as to the cause of the grounding but the captain reported he was proceed- ing in a fog at 8:30 a. m. The steamship official said passengers and enough of the crew to man the lifeboats are under protection of Mexican Point and “no one is in danger.” He said the North Sea is equipped with life- boats sufficient for 300 persons, 49 to each boat. At 2 o'clock this afternoon The Empire received the following As- sociated Press dispatch: “Message said the vessel is lyinz in Eureka Pass, pumps controlling ‘Now Jersey in 1918. She is of 3, 133 gross tonnage and 299 feet long. The vessel was remodeled when placed on the Alaska Route by the Northland Transportation Company. The North Sea made her first trip to Juneau in April, 1935. e WILDES MOVES OFFICE Keith Wildes, well-known local manager of the New York Life In- surance Company, and fire insur- ant agent, is moving his offices in- to the storeroom formerly occupied by the Missy Shoppe on Seward Street, Target Shooting Target shooting with a bow is vastly different from big game hunting with a weapon of that type, Mr. Young explained. Bows requiring a draw of mere than 35 pounds are seldom used for target ! shooting because under American said, ' tournament rules five ‘“ends,” or thirty arrows, are shot at each of three distances, 60, 50 and 40 yards, and continued shooting with a heavy bow results in fatigue de- structive to accuracy. A bow requiring a pull of 80 pounds is capable of killing all sorts of big game found in Alaska, he including Kodiak bears. Broadhead arrows, weighing 1,- 400 grains travel at a speed of 300- foot-seconds, he explained. Bone offers little resistance to projectiles | of that sort, which easily penetrate 2 inches of solid wood. Art Young, who died of pneu- monia in Chicago some time ago, killed big game with a bow in all parts of the world, including lions and elephants in Africa, and Ko- diak bears in Alaska when he vis-,' ited the Territory in 1926. Art Young, who was not related to W. A. Young, and who is considered by the latter to be “the world's greatest game hunter with a bow,” used a weapon with a 50-pound draw, and bodkin arrows with huge lance-like heads. W. A. Young killed his first game with a bow, wild turkeys, wild pigs and snakes in Florida, when he was 16 years old. He wasted several arrows on alligators before he be- came convinced that he could not kill them, he said, because at that time he was not strong enough to draw a bow sufficiently heavy to penetrate an alligator’s hide 1 He has killed squirrels, rabbits’ and deer in California, and intends fo hunt deer in Alaska next sea- son. He will perhaps kill a bear, he said, if he happens to encounter an exceptionally good specimen in prime econdition, or if required to kill one in self-defense. He is not, however, a “trophy hunter.” On all hunting expeditions Mr. Young carries with him a 45 cali- ber automatic pistol for proteetion in case of emergency, but added that a bear hunter equipped with a bow has an advantage over a hunter depending upon a firearm, from the standpoint of personal safety, as a bear, when struck by an ar- row, usually gives undivided at- tention to the shaft, which smells strange and causes pain at every move of the animal, while a bullet wound seldom diverts a bear's at- tention from the hunter. Mr. Young, who intends to de- velop farming land at Berner's Bay, which was homesteaded many years ago by his father, has accept®: | ed a position with the Alaska Ju: neau Gold Mining Company at Salmon Creek. | oA i dEdEdd @A ol 00 MO O I-%HII%I lll 1 ] | el 1 / Hl < ot W W/Il.fl%fi. i 8 .Il.fl.l Wlfifllll/ N w %%fll% oul v 4 2/ FRESH Fruits and Vegetables ——ALWAYS!
