DR.. Cook, if alone when he reached the

The Tribuna, however, hopes that DR..
Cook will bring back among his astrO-

which astronomers can easily verify, con-
vincing proof of his marvellous victory.

We covered the remaining IA
seconds and made a few final
observations. I told Turkish

With a single step we could
pass from one side of the earth

midnight. At last the flag
floated to the breezes at the

The temperature was minus 50

was nothing.
although crazy with joy, our spirits
began to undergo a feeling Of weart-

observations, a sentiment of intense
solitude penetrated us while we looked
at the horizon. Was it possible that
this .desolate region, without a patch

A lion broke loose at an electrical
exhibition at Marseilles and made his
way on the stage of the theater. where
ballet was being rehearsed. The
panic among the women of the BAL
let when the lion suddenly came into
view was intense. Three OF the
dancers. however. were possessed of
more courage than the rest, and.
snatching of their shoes, they beat
the greatly astonished beast into sub.
mission. When the lion-tamer arrived
the lion welcomed him with evident
joy and allowed himself to be led
back to his cage in the most docile
fashion. He seemed as glad to get
away from the ballet girls as they
were to get lid of him.
