Abstract: In this article we get simple explicit formulas for $Expsu{p}_{sleqt}X(s)$ where $X$ is a spectrally positive or negative L'evy process with infinite variation. As a consequence we derive a generalization of the well-known formula for the supremum distribution of Wiener process that is we obtain $Prob(su{p}_{sleqt}{Z}_{alpha}(s)gequ)=alphaProb(Z_{alpha}(t)gequ)$ for $ugeq0$ where $Z_{alpha}$ is a spectrally negative L'evy process with $1<alphaleq2$ which also stems from Kendall's identity for the first crossing time. Our proof uses a formula for the supremum distribution of a spectrally positive L'evy process which follows easily from the elementary Seals formula.
