for voters requiring all voters to be
stole to read and write the English

gent voting and preventing the pos
sibility of fraudulent elections in

said, would probably not toe attack
ed as being outside of the province
of the Legislature to pass.

Text of Memorial.
'The text of the Foster literacy
memorial follows:
Whereas, approximately forty
eight per cent of the population o
the Territory of Alaska consists o
Indians of vuriou® tribes; and
Whereas, the census of 192f
shews approximately seventy pet
c«nt of these people over the age
of twenty-one year* to be Illiterate;
and
Whereas, large numbers of these
natives have been permitted to vote
at the elections held in the Terri
tory': and
Whereas, these people by their
lgnofence lend themselves readily
to the machinations of unscrupulous
politicians who. In times past, have
controlled large numbers of these
native voters;*and
Whereas, by the terms of the Or
ganic Act certain qualifications for
voting have been prescribed, which
qualifications have been held hi
some legal authority to be exclusive
and binding on the people of the
Territory of Alaska;
Jfow, therefore, we, the Senate
add the House of Representatives of
the Sixth Session of the Legislature
of the Territory of Alaska, respect
fully memorulize and petition the
Congress of the United States that
the Organic Act of the Territory of
Alaska be amended to include an
educational qualification for voters
requiring all voters to be able to
read and write the Knglish lan
guage, Insuring thereby intelligent
voting and preventing the possibil
ity of fraudulent elections in the
Territory.

Lamp That

STOCKHOLM. April 5. — The
problem ol new to produce arti
ficial daylight by electricity has
been Bolved in Sweden as the re
mit of a series of experiments by a
Stockholm company familiarly
known as 'Aga.'’ which is headed
jy the Nobel prize winner, Dr. Gus
;af Dalen.
I’nder the light of a lamp juat
perfected by Dr. Dalen, oolors may
jo matched as accurately es if they
wore being viewed in the light of ■
he sun. In some ways, indeed, this
amp is more satisfactory than day
ight, as the latter varies somewhat
,vith meterorologieal conditions, and
s furthermore affected by reflec
tons from colored walls or furni
:ure.
The principle of this new pro
:ess for obtaining artificial day
ight consists essentially in Altering
he light from an electric bulb so
\a to absorb a part of the red and
r'ellow light rays. The ray fllted is
