Constant Reader Tells Him
What He Missed in

"Any sensations this week?' asked Busy Man. as
he took hts beside Constant Reader for the
customary Saturday evening chat about the weeks

Constant Reader laid aside his paper. Yes" said
ne, Or Frederick A. Cook. of Brooklyn. who went
TO the Arctic regions a couple of wears ago calmly
sent cable dispatch from the Danish vessel Hans
Egede. which put in at Lerwick. Shetland Islands,
on September J. announcing that April q, 1905
he reached the North Pole

Busy Man. 1T almost takes ones breath away 1t

announcement. Some Arctic explorers and scien-
lists have accepted DR.. Cooks claim while Others
are qualifying their statements until they have
opportunity to learn what data Dr. Cook has to
support his claims. Admiral Melville represents
the negative view. The reported discovery
of the North Pole is a fake. he is said to have
marked in blunt fashion. II is worth noting that
practically all who know DT. Cook personally ap-
pear TO accept his statements at their face value
According reports he and his two Esquimaus trav

He has issued a statement in popular form which
tells something OF his journey. Dr. Cook. who has
