Lecture Coui-se
for Cashion
A meeting; of the directors of
the Cashion Lecture Course was
held Saturday evening in the of-
fice of the Maine Hotel. Light of
the directors were present, name-

necker. Rev. Nissen, Dr. Ray-
mond, J. 1. Vaneuren, B. Stewart.
Jake Rvser, and W. F. Barnard.
welcomed him and experienced
wonder and gratitude that he had
arrived safely in the terrible cold.
Stanton assured them that it was
imply good, bracing weather, that
it might seem a little chilly to boys
and soft young men, but really it
was nothing to a veteran. And
the charting went on, until two or
three of the young officers ban-
tered the general-—he was only a
major then —-to any test of endur

was agreed to, and so they pro-

They dove into the pool, came out,
lay upon a snow bank for a minute !
or two, and then dove again, and
repeated this two or three times.
For a wonder none of them died
from the effect of their foolish-
ness. Now, it seems to us that
this feat of Dr. Cook is much like

And s< p the north pole has been
found. Kings come down from
their thrones to honor the finder,
the stolid peasants of Denmark
grow wild with enthusiasm, and
scientists the world around are
stirred as they would not be at the
coming of a new comet or the birth
of a new star. And still what has
been gained? The late (ten. T.
B. Stanton, when stationed here
as army paymaster, made a trip
up to Fort Washakee to pay the
soldiers stationed there.
! he knew before starting that
would be so, if he found the pole.
But his horizon was not much ex-
tended, through it will be most
interesting to read what constel-1
lations he saw there and how they
were situated ; that is, if he is as-
tronomer enough to describe
them. < >ne thing is strang: We
have seen no mention by him of
the Aurora Boreallis. Was it in
full blaze there, or had he passed
it on the way? Again we ask, j
what problem of science has he j
solved? What was his feat, ex-j
cept of the nature of what those j
soldiers in a foolish fit, performed |
at Fort Washakee? A sturdy |
man, and brave no doubt, of the
stuff out of which heroes are made,
but did his feat, for all the new
light it offers to curiosity or sci-
ence. justify the tremendous per- ;
