-Four miles further north than the ad

lish service our Cuuutrymrn, Lock woud
and Braiuard, planted the stars and stripes
IN the latitude Of ~ degrees "a minutes
/ north and took possession Of that county

end his party had spent most Of three
! years near the eighty second parallel IN
Grant Land, a period much longer than
was occupied by any Of the earlier colouists
Of England in the United States. in the
settlements at Roanoke. at Cuttyhunk or
/ siagadahuc all Of which anticipated james
town Aud on the northwestern coast the
! long northern shore of Alaska is under
the guardianship and law Of the United
States Of America.
Has not the secretary Of the navy any
feeling Of pride, in knowing that he Is the
guardian Of these northern watersi Does
/ he mean 20 let Austria or Norway, or Eng
land establish another flag farther north
than the stars and stripes has noated'
There is a certain superstition about
northern discovery In our time, as Mr..
| Heilprin, Mr. Peary, Mr.. Glider and others
| have well shown. Under the cumbrous
theories of the British admiralty, ground
| ed perhaps on traditions of Captain Cook,
| it came to be supposed that you must have
| large ships, where in fact you need the
smallest vessels that you must have many
men, where in fact you need but few and
must make preparations for many years,
/ when in fact you will do all that is 10 be
done In few months. You ret two ele

When, in fact, the late DIR. Rae ana
and Messrs. Simpson and Drase traced the
north shore of this continent, they did it by

stance more where the ragged street boy,
sitting on the top of n tree, sees the show
which the prince and princess below him
cannot see because surrounded by a bril-
liant staff, who cut off their line of vision.
Now, it is the business of Mr. Herbert,
the secretary of the navy, whom Uncle
| Sam has appointed, to see 10 the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans and in a way to "peram.
bulate them" To "perambulate" means
| that he is to see TO their borders and to
know who the neighbors are and what they
are about. A few years ago two spirited
women, Miss Dawes and Mrs. Greedy,
| brought TO the ears of the administration
the news that If somebody did not bring
oil our own officer, Captain Greedy from
Smith sound, ho might starve. They
reused the nation, and the nation sent out
