PRUETT'S SKY REVIEW
By J. HUGH PRCETT
Astronomer, Extension Division
Oregon HUher Edneatlon System
A correspondent recently
wrote that he had never seen
even an attempted explanation
as to why the north pole of the
earth always1 points "exactly"
at Polaris, the north star. He it
surely in good company for
Shakespeare made Julius Caesar
saw, "But I am constant as the
northern star, of whose true
fixed and resting quality there
is no fellow in the firmament."
Our correspondent thinks he
has discovered the explanation.
But that is all spoiled by the
brutal fact that the earth's pole
does not point at Polaris and
likely never did the great
Shakespeare notwithstanding.
The place among the stars at
which the earth's pole points is
known as the celestial pole. All
the stars in the nothern sky
seem to encircle this pole once
a day. Even Polaris traces a
little circle around it and is now
Missionaries Popular, Though
Indians Had to Forego Wives
By JOHN KAMPS
Associated Press Stall Writer
WASHINGTON () Indians four wives and left them to decide
of the Northwest liked the black
robed missionaries who worked
among them, even though the
chiefs had to get rid of some of
their wives,
So says a history of the Coeur
D'Alene Indian tribe, which was
written by a chief and is being
studied by the Indian Claims
Commission.
The manuscript is part of the
evidence submitted last week in a
hearing on the tribe's claim for
just payment for four million
acres of land taken by the govern
ment in the 1880's. The land is in
Idaho, Washington and Montana.
The history written by Chief
Joseph Seltise, who died in 1949
at the age of 63. Details were told
to Joseph by aged members of the
tribe, including his father, Chief
Andrew Seltise, who was 92 when
he died in 1902.
The Rev. Pierre Desmet, the
famed missionary, arrived in the
Coeud D'Alene country in 1842,
Joseph's hand-written history re
lates. His arrival date, the first
Friday in December, remains a
day of celebration for the tribe
to this day.
"Father Desmet s teachings said
that all Christians were allowed
just one wife."
"Twisted Earth, chief of the
tribe, did not hesitate a minute,
but promptly conferred with his
among themselves which one
should remain, and which three
should go.
In a short time the four wives
determined which one must re
main the wife and which three
must go. Twisted Earth thanked
them and told them they made a
wise choice, bid the three a sor
rowful farewell, then told the
three who were to go to 'remain
faithful to the one man you are
to marry as you have remained
faithful already a large part of
your lives,
Twisted Earth then was 82, but
"hale and hearty."
The historian, and those he quot
ed, said many good words about
the clergy, but many bad ones
about other white men.
White adventurers "sought ea
gerly for Indians who had never
traded with whites and would part
with their furs for worthless trin
kets," Joseph says. "Thus went 15
million dollars in rich furs owned
by the Indians for some whiskey
and worthless trinkets."
Writing of the death in 1847 of a
young physician, Dr. Whiteman,
who was suspected of poisoning
Indians, Joseph quotes a tribes
man: "Tamsuky knocked White
man on the head with a tomahawk.
... If all reports are true . . then
he got only what was coming to
him."

Grove Speeds
March of Dimes
COTTAGE GROVE Some 3500
March of Dimes cards will be
mailed this week to residents of
the community urging partlcipa.
tion in the 1952 drive.
Maynard Wilson, Cottage Grove
chairman, said Saturday the cam
paign is ready to shift into high
gear.
Friday evening members of the
Cottage Grove Jaycdtte organiza
tion prepared the 3500 solicitation
cards for mailing. This is the
fourth consecutive year the Jay
cettes have addressed and pre
pared the cards.
An addressograph owned by
Cleo Morelock was borrowed to
speed up the work.
Wilson said members of the Cot
tage Grove Junior Chamber of
Commerce are - now distributing
March of Dimes containers in the
city and surrounding areas.
There has not been a Cottage
Grove quota set for the annual
drive, but Wilson hopes the com
munity can exceed last year's con
tribution of $2600.
This is the fourth consecutive
year Wilson has headed the Cot

about one degree two widths
of a full moon from it. (Tho
exact amount today is 57 min.
13 sec, a little less, than one de
gree.) The separation of the celestial
pole from Polaris is now con
tinually decreasing and will be
at a minimum around A.D. 2100,
when it will be a little less than
half a degree away. At the time
of Shakespeare it was nearly
four degrees away. Someone has
suggested that if the famous
poet had taken the trouble to
check on the figures, he would
have found he had Caesar in
error by around 15 degrees.
After 2100 the separation will
increase. By 14,000, the pole
will be only five degrees from
Vega, more than 45 degrees
from Polaris, wnich cannot then
by any stretch of the imagina
tion be considered the north
star. But for many generations
yet, Polaris will be a very de
pendable although not exact
pole star. All this changing is
due to the 25,800-year cycle of
the precession of the equinoxes,
a phenomenon too complicated
to be explained here.
Since Polaris traces a circle
around the celestial pole, it is
due north twice daily: when di
rectly above and below the
pole. For rough reckoning, how
ever, this star defines north
quite closely.
An easy way of showing the
location of the pole is to set a
wide-open camera in a dark
place, direct it approximately
toward the north star, and let
it stand for an hour or more.
Curved trails of many stars in
this region will be photo
graphed. All will seem to be
drawn around the pole as a
center.
There are numerous fainter
stars nearer the celestial pole
than is Polaris. In 1925, a tiny
star, practically at the pole, was
dubbed "Polarissima." Two
beautiful photographs of the
star trails around this are shown
in Popular Astronomy of Janu
ary 1937.
Polaris is at the end of the
handle of the group of stars
known as the Little Dipper.
Pension Plan
Irks Japanese
Families Protest
Meagre Allotments
TOKYO (fl") Cries of angry
disappointment drowned out Jap
anese officials Sunday when they
tried to explain the government's
first, and admittedly meagre,
war pension plan to the Japanese
League of Bereaved Families.
About 800 league members, rep
resenting 8,000,000 immediate
relatives of nearly 2,000,000 war
dead, attended the meeting in
Hosei university hall.
Brandishes Spear
One old man whose son died In
World War II brandished a med
ieval spear and threatened to use
it on Premier Shigaru Yoshida,
who was not present.
Later, about 200 of the dele
gates went 30 miles to Yoshida's
country place at Oiso and sat
down outside his gate for several
hours, but Yoshida did not ap
pear. The war pension issue has raised
a storm in the government and
in the dominant Liberal Party.
'Enough to Buy Candles'
Under the program, a war wi
dow would get the yen equivalent
of $1.63 a month, while the top
payment to a totally disabled vet
eran would be the equivalent of
$150 a year.
When it was being discussed re
cently, Finance Minister Hayato
Ikeda remarked that it was "bare
ly sufficient for bereaved families
to buy candles for the altar."
