Another storm area prevailed over the North Pacific Ocean at latitude 46 degrees north and longi- tude 166 degrees west, where a reading of 29.00 inches was reported. This general pressure distribution has heen attended by light precipi- tation over the Seward Peninsula and over the Gulf of Alaska and mederate rains over Southeast Alaska, elsewhere over the Territory generally fair weather prevailed.

Finally, however, village ornxials decided the tree endangered hut and that it must come down. Sobbingly the woman watched workmen felling the ancient tree. Suddenly it broke and iell on her, killing her instantly. She was buried in a coffin made from it. e Postman “Circles Globe” 1Y% Times in 15 Years MEDFORD, Ore., Sept. 24.—If Clarence E.
