PEARY and The POLE
Subject Of an Excellent Grafton at the
High School This Morn
inc.

The north pole and it's discoverer
were discussed before the high school
in an excellent Grafton by Arthur
Headland this morning. A short review
of the many attempts was given and
then more detailed account of Robert
Peary's successful undertakings.
For twenty years, Peary has been
attempting to reach the goal. Dur
ing that time, according to Mr.. Head :
land, he gained more knowledge and
more experience and at every failure
he learned some lesson that would be
of value the next time.
Finally, after all those years Of hard
experience, he reached the goal on
April 6, 1909, and the United States
claims the distinction of discovering
and owning the north pole. Mr.. Head
land told of the last trip north in a
clear and interesting manner. His
Grafton was good and handled In a
fine manner.

ordered that in future a magistrate

Natural Aoe of Man.

The question as to what is the nat.
ural age Of man is by no means SET
tied. of course, but many are Of the
opinion that the Frenchman Flourens
was not far out of the way in his esti-
mate Of the time man should live.
Taking his observations from the
group mammalia. of the class vertebra.
ia. as having the closest resemblance
to man and such species as are per-
mitted to live the full term Of their
natural life under circumstances not
admitting of error or doubt, Flourens
found that their natural life extended
to about five times the period of their
lives from birth up to maturity. Ap-
plying the rule thus obtained to hu-
man life and taking the age at which
the body is fully matured to be twen-
ty years. he concluded the natural
duration Of the life Of man to be 100
yeaEs.-New York American.
