many friends in Alaska, both by ca

her contest for ownership of her
farm at Dyea. A lust decision, as
all can attest who are familiar with
the merits of the case. Mrs. Pullen
has put many thousand dollars and
a number of years' hard work on
the farm and her hotel has been
supplied with meat, butter, cheese,
buttermilk, cream And many other
products. The potatoes, cabbage,
turnips, rutabagas, carrots and much
of the hay for her fine band of
blooded stock have nearly all been
produced from the farm. Now that
the title cunnot again be disputed,
.Mrs. Pullen will go ahead with
fresh courage and with brighter
prospects for a betterment of every
thing concerned with the farm. A
trail in the near future has been as
sured which will give easy access to
the farm from Skagway. At present
thu trip is made by boat, which at
times is a very haaardous undertak

ARE LEARNING ABOUT STARS
Men of Science Beginning to Believe
They Know Something Con
cerning the Subject.
The first successful attempt to
measure stellar distances was made
in 1838 by Bessel, who determined the
parallax of 61 Cygnl, a little star of
the sixth magnitude which had at
tracted attention by Its great proper
motion of five seconds of arc a year.
At the beginning of the present cen
tury -10 or 50 parallaxes had become
known and In recent years progress
in measurement has become very
rapid. Greenwich observatory reports
the determination of the parallaxes of
ftO stars a year, while some American
observatories are doing even more.
American astronomers have in prepa
ration a catalogue giving the paral
laxes of 8,000 stars and It Is expected
that within a very few years the dis
tances of all stars visible to the naked
eye In the northern hemisphere will
have been made known, as well as
those of many fainter stars. The
parallaxes are determined hy both
trigonometric and spectroscopic meth
ods. while a third method can be ap
plied to many double stars.
