decades of hope deferred surprise
would naturally be expressed at the
success of any expedition, no matter
how elaborate and costly the prepar-
ations of how famous the men In COM
mand might be. Cooks preparations
were comparatively simple and his
backing was not such as to inspire
the public mind with the idea of con-
quest. '~~.
That this and subsequent stories
will be severely scrutinized is certain
and scientists and experts must pass
Judgment upon the evidence with
which Cook supports his claims. So
much he himself must expect as a
matter of course.
Inter Ocean (Chicago): 1t seems
strange that a reputable mans claim
to have accomplished such a purely
sporting feat as the discovery of the
North Pole should be questioned in
angry language, showing all the
traces of envy and malice. 1t seems
not without significance that the
%carping comes from men who have
failed in similar enterprises and from
armchair and laboratory scientists.
OF course DIR. Cook will have to YER
lily his claim by suitable records.
Fer and Feminist.
Chicago, Sept. 4.-Scientists the
world over are now engaged in a
lively debate as to whether Freder-
lex A. Cook reached the North Pole
as asserted by the explorer, and as
to how he is going to prove it or
how others can disprove it.
A summary of the more important
opinions for and against the truth of
Dr. Cooks story follows:
For: Captain Ronald Amundson,
Norwegian Arctice explorer with DR..
Cook on his Antarctic expedition.
Anthony Fiala, commander Of the
Ziegler expedition of 1903-1905.
Colonel Sir Duncan tombstone, dis
tinguished British scientist.
Lieutenant Ernest H. Shackleton,
who planted the British flag farthest
south.
Captain Robert F. Scott, command
er of the British Antarctic expedition
of 1904.

II can't help recalling the story OF
Dr.. Cooks ascent Of Mount Mckin-
ley, about which he wrote book. In
that book he says that he assembled
the mountain, looked at his aneroid
and then came down again. When
the scientists wanted to know how
high the mountain was he said he
was in such hurry he could not stop
to compute the altitude. "t . .+.z3#
81 heard that when DR.. Cook start
ed for the pole he said he was going
to sneak q, in on the ground floor.
When he went up there and bought
all the dogs he knew Mr.. Peary
would need later it showed what
manner of man he was. II.
Zone reason don't put much faith
in the story of the discovery is that
DR.. Cook is quoted as writing he was
living on tallow. Now Eskimos don't
live on tallow any more than we do
and anybody that knows their habits
and the Arctic regions knows that is
true. AS for confirmation Of any re-
port from Eskimos, they couldn't tell
the North Pole from barber pole.
Mrs. Peary gave other reasons why
she doubted DR.. Cooks success, but
bound the reporter to silence upon
them. Her skepticism is shared by
her daughter, Marie, who says she
won't accept the report until she
"hears from dad
Prof. Atwood yesterday told OF his
experiences with DR.. Cook personally
while in Alaska four years ago and
of DR.. Cooks attempt in reaching
the summit of Mount Mckinley. Mr..
Atwood stated:
IT met DR.. Cooks entire party and
spoke to him considerable in person
wwhile I was in Alaska on a tour
of investigation four years ago. Az
that time Dr. Cook started out Win
a. single packer to reach the summit
of the mountain. In a remarkably
short time to every one who was
familiar with the conditions existing
there, Cook returned with the story
that he had reached the summit. 1

CANARY BIRDS
SING IN CHOIR
Began CHIPPING With First
Strains Of the Organ.

Cincinnati July 12-The presence
Of thirtyhve canary birds as part OF
the choir participating In the Sabbath
morning musical program constituted
an innova. al the regular religious
services of the Lincoln Park lnstitu.
tional Baptist church.
The idea Of installing the birds as
part of the choir was suggested by
the pastor Rev George II. Robbins.
The effect OF combining songs Of ca
naries and the choir voices with a pipe
organ was declared by members Of the
congregation to be a success.
The text was. who are these that
come flying through the air like
doves?"
Rev. Robbins requested members OF
the congregation to bring as many ca
narles as were available. The gilded
cages were hung all about the audi
forum. The birds began chirping
with the first strains OF the organ and
kept up as long as there was choir
singing.
