ANOTHER PIGEON FROM ANDREE.


Third Message Reported as Coming from
the Intrepid AerOnaut.
4 dispatch received at Copenhagen on
Monday from Hammerfest the northern
most town of Europe. in Norway, says
the whaling ship Falken has brought there
the third pigeon dispatch from Prof.
Andree, the aerOnaut, who left the island
of Tromsoe in balloon on July II last in
an attempt to cross the polar regions.
The message brought by the Falken
reads:
"July l3-l2 80 P. M.-Latitude S2.2
north, longitude l2,5 east.
Good voyage eastward. All we'll"
The point indicated in the message
would be about one degree south of the
spot in the above map marking the
highest explorations of the Greely party
in 1882. Peary reached point degrees
north of Greely's farthest explorations.
Evelyn B. Baldwin the meteorolgist of
the Peary expedition in 1894, was inter-
viewed regarding the latest pigeon dis
patch from Andree. Mr.. Baldwin said
"This message indicates that Andree
has safely crossed the $50 miles or so of

ginning of the pack ice. When Andree

dent that the loss of the three guide
ropes, which occurred on the day An
dree started, had not prevented him
from guiding the balloon. Some expert
aeronauts feared that this accident
might bring speedy disaster. 1t is also
evident that the unbelieving aerOnauts
who declared that the gas in the balloon
would never stand the temperature OF
the pack ice were wrong. If the extreme
cold caused any perceptible change il
the gasses, such action would have takeI
place before Andree wrote this last mes

The weather throughout the past week
has been favorable for harvesting and
general farm work. Late fall crops are,
as a rule, looking well. Corn has a good
chance to reach maturity in the northern
states, and in the southern it is now
either harvested or beyond the reach of
frosts. The nights of the past week
have been very cool, but the damage by
frosts has been slight. Abundant sun
shine has prevailed, with but little rain

fall sown grain and for keeping pastur.

however, of failing pasturage. Corn
cutting in Vermont is well under way
it is said that most of the crop is beyond
injury by frost. Oats have been har-
vested. Potatoes small and poor, eX-
cept on sandy soils. Grated apples
light; common varieties promise a fair
crop. Grapes are ripening slowly, and
il is doubtful if the later kinds escape
frosts. Pasturage continues excellent
but streams are getting low. Rain is
needed to bring up fall seeding.
In New Hampshire corn is now being
cut, but there are many pieces that viii
probably not mature except under tho
most favorable conditions. Much of the
