The North Polar Continent.

Where is the North polar continent
that once figured on the maps? asks a
writer in McClure's Magazine. 1t is not
so long ago that the renowned geographer
Petermann believed he had good reason
for faith in its existence. The pole was
probably in this continent, and he
thought hat towering rocks near Berng
Strait, now known to be an island, might
be one of the termini of the great land
mass
Faith in this theory has gradually
weakened the farther men penetrated
into the White North;" and now Nam
sen hl thrown n flood of light upon the
question. The ocean depth. he has found
to the north ct Franz Joseph Land and
Sp'lzhergeu, tn Disappearance OF animal
life in that region, the structure of the
lee, which IS plainly formed Al sea and
not on land, Hnd the free movement of
the lee masses driven. ~ they are, in any
direction by he prevailing winds, point
inevitably to tn CONCLUSION TINT the
mHn who reaches the North Pole wifi
prohnbty find 40 tAud th-rr, but II deep
sea instead, covered by closely packed aud
drifting ice.

The Art of Breathing.

1t il perhaps one Of the signs of the
times, to those a 'ert for indications, that
the art of breathing has become more and
more a subj ct of attention. Oculsts as
well rs ply sioiog SITS 60 deeply into its
study in way hardly TO be touched upon
here. Physicians have cured aggravate ed
cases of insomnia by long drawn regular
breat hs, fever stricken patients have been
quieted, stubborn forms OF Indigestion
made to disappear. A tendency to CON
sumption may be entirely overcome, as
some aut hority has within the last few
wears clearly demonstrated, by exercises
in breat hing. Seasickness, too, may be
surmounted, aud the victim of hypnotic
influence taught to withstand the force
OF any energy directed against him.
There is a famous physician OF Munich,
W no has written an extensive work upon
the subject OF breathing. He has, besides,
patients are made to Walk without losing
breath, while sufferers from weakness OF
the heart are cured. AT Merau, in the
Austrian Tyrol, his pal rents (almost every
royal house IN Europe is represeuted)
are put througr certain system of
breat hing aud walking. The mountain
pat hs are ali marked off with stakes of
d II rent colors, each Indicating the num-
Der OF minutes in which n patient must
walk the given distance, the breathing
and walking being in time together. As
he cure progresses the s-rents are made

THE CIrY'S BUSINESS.
Reports of Municipal Officers for the
Year just Ended.

Year just Ended.
The report of the city government for
the year enoing Feb. s, 1897, has been
issued, and will repay careful study.
| The report of the treasurer Shows that
the total expenditures for the year have
been ST. .033 10, but this includes IS, $50 in
old per cent. notes, which were called III
and ressued at 4 per cent; it includes
also $500 in temporary loans paid,
SO that The actual expenditures were
$5S, 9S3.1O.
THIS amount, however, is still greatly
In excess of the estimated expenses for
the year, as shown by the appropriations
at he beginning of the municipal year,
which amounted to SAG, 5S6.3S. The deficit
has been met by the issue of city notes,
the aggregate amount of which, issued
| during the year and remaining unpaid, is
S12, 400, to which extent the city's interest
bearing debt has been increased, making
the total now SIS ASP.
| The greater part of this extra expense
has been for highways and bridges. The
expenditures on highways exceeded the
appropriation by :3,61O.3s. OF this
| "'ioihl g-icVO was Oh CITY DOteS,
and the balance was transferred from
appropriated money.
The bridge fund at the beginning of the
year showed a balance to it's credit of
S2,l2775, and no appropriation was made.
By loan of 5000 and by drawing upon
! fund OF unapproprla ed money, the bridge
| fund has been increased to S9,944.25. OF
this amount, Sc, Sol .43 has been expended,
leaving Il balance to the credit of the
fund of 80 297.s2. The expenditures in
clude the payment for abut ments of Main
street bridge, but do not, OF course, in
clude the bridge itself.
In the police fund account appears the
following interesting items:
Orders in favor of r. J. Holmes and
John Sivy for services as pollcemen
audited by the board of aldermen and
remaining unsigned by Mayer Gerry,
1888. IS.
OruerS issued by Mayor Gerry without
authority of the board of aldermen, for
police services, S672.
The following table shows receipts of
each fund (Which includes, besides the
appropriations at the b, gaining of the
year, the balances from the preceding
year, loans and amounts transferred from
other funds, the expenditures and the
present balances:

poem Of nat ure, descripinga lovely little
incident IN bird life. The poem began:
little bird sits on the telegraph WIRE
Aud tlitters ana chatters and folds ito wings.
Robert committed the verses to memory
with great care and appeared before his
aud ence with no end of confidence. He
wa, favorite and his appearance WAS
greeted with applause. He was slightly
confused al this, but begau boldly:

Then he forgot Tie rest. lie Tried it
again in Il louder and more confident
tone:

GOODBYE. GERRY!
PRESIDES AT HIS LAST MEET
ING OF THE ALDERMEN.
THE RATCHET Is BURIED. AND HE
PARTS GOOD FRIENDS WITH
ALL THE BOARD.

Mayor Gerry presided at his farewell
meeting OF the board OF aldermen Tues
day forenoon. His honor was feeling in
the best ofspirits after the battle of the
ballots III which he had been worsted,
but he bobbed up smiling, and with bis
confidence in the tena bleness of his DO
sition on the police question unshaken.
But the mayor did not wish to bring up
past differences at this meeting, and it
proved a sort of love feast The Ratchet
was buried, and the mayor and aldermen,
who have SO frequently joined issue dur
ing the past year, parted the best of
friends, with hope that they would all
some day again meet about the council
fires of the tribes of Ellsworth.
