Norton who earlier in the day stated

The President also authorized the
statement that no other change In the

take place soon. Secretary Shaw has
already indicated his intention Of re
firing from the Cabinet. Rumors of
Attorney General Moody's retirement
have been published, but it is known

Sing Hpoo's accomplishments are
not. however, confined to acrobatic
tricks. He is good linguist. for he
speaks English well. German fiuently

his native Burmese.
Perhaps the most amazing thing
about Sing Hpoo is the fact that his
appetite is not at all in proportion TO
his size He is accustomed to sit

Just as much as any one at the table.
For breakfast he likes three or four
eggs. and as pick-me-up he is accus-
toned to swallow couple of dozen

According to dispatches from San
Francisco Capt. Ronald Amundsen
has discovered the northwest passage.
If so. he has finished the labors of
hardy sailors and other explorers for
centuries past. 1t was the commercial
instinct that led to the first great voy-
ages of discovery This instinct had
two phases. One was to extend the
limits of the northern fisheries. The
prosecution of the whaling industries
is estimated to have added over 5000
0CO 900 TO the wealth of the world in
the 200 years before the middle of
the nineteenth century. The other
phase of the commercial instinct was
the desire to shorten the water route
between the ports of western Europe
and the rich orient. The era of sci
entific research in polar exploration
did not begin until the last half of the
nineteenth century The humanitarl-
an spirit that led many expeditions
to engage in the search for Sir John
tions to the worlds knowledge of
those regions.
John Davis in 1888 succeeded in
reaching what is now Godthaab.
Greenland. and his three voyages
gave the first great impulse toward the
northwest passage. There followed a
succession of brave men. each of
whom added something to what was
already known, and then in the last

player in turn reads out whatever
