COLDS ARE DANGEROUS.

COLDS ARE DANGEROUS.
If more people would make an at
tempt to get rid of the colds from
which they are suffering, as a result
of this changeable weather, there would
be decided decrease in the number
of cases of pneumonia. A few doses
of Chamberlain IS Cough Remedy will
cure your cold, and all danger of its
hanging on until spring and resulting
in pneumonia may be avoided. For

beach to the south Of the river is en-
tirely clean. A Japan current from
the north is a manifest fgment.
"Thirdly, the enormous volume of
| the cold water, which constantly oc.
cupies the Pacific Coast, can not posi-
! bly, be derived from the very limited
remainder of the Kuro Siwo current
after it reaches Alaska. The existing
| body of cold sea water at 35 deg. or
40 deg. of temperature occupies an area
| of 1900 miles in length from San Diego
to Sitka and of many hundred miles out
to sea constituting an immense area of
cold ocean surface, always and unvary-
! ingly present. 1t is of such enormous
| quantity as totally to alter both the
summer and winter climates of that
long coast for more than thirty miles
inland, keeping them at a comparative.
ly uniform temperature of from 40 to
30 degrees. Such vast area of cold
water can not possibly be derived from
the last remainder of n surface current
wasted by six thousand miles of ocean
travel.
"Fourthly, the uniform temperature
of this great cold ocean area can not
possibly be derived from remote sur
face current subjected to many storms.
1t must come from some source of
great magnitude, which is protected
from all varying influences. No ade-
quate source can be less than that of
the vast abyssal current generated at
the foot of the Antarctic Glacier, and
creeping up the bottom of the Pacific
Ocean, uniform in velocity and un-
changing in temperature until the
shoaling Pacific Coast forces it to the
surface.
Positive Evidence for This Theory.
"For positive evidence of the exist
ence of such a submarine cold current
under the Pacific, we have:
First, the results of numerous deep
sea temperature soundings. Hundreds
of such soundings have been made and
, recorded at different times and places
in the mid Pacific. They have invarl,
ably revealed the fact of the existence
of thick stratum of sea water, lying
/ below an average depth of 10000 feet
and having very uniform temperature
of 80 deg.
"Second, similar Atlantic sounding:
t have established the fact that similar
5 currents of like temperature are NOV
5 ing under that ocean from each of tn,
t poles and are meeting in region nortl
of the equator pushing each other Il
g the surface SO that the low 80 deg. OF
temperature is there met at the deptl
of only 5000 feet. But access to tn,
i Pacific being practically shut off from
the Arctic, the vast Antarctic cold flow
enters the North Pacific unobstructet
to pursue its course along the oceaI
bottom until some northern coast forces
= it to the surface.
: "Thirdly, that point of emergenc'
must necessarily be found upon tn,
= northwest coast of North America
n This is so because any current moving
q northwards after passing the equato
r is necessarily DETECTED to the east
d ward. The reason is that such curren
4 carries with ii the great eastwar'
!. rotating velocity of the equatoria
G latitudes which drives it TO the east
t ward of the more slowly rotating sur
d faces of more northern latitudes
:. is the invariable law of all current
/ moving away from the equator to b

"Thercfore this ocean wide Antnrcti

II to turn eastward after IL crosses th

" that IL brings mp against the Who'll
