The Mayors address at the Cham.
Der of Commerce luncheon sounded very
much like the sentiments he was ac-
customed to express at this time year
ago, in the heat of the mayoralty cam
paign. He promised then to have but
single object in view. namely, the
progress and prosperity OF Philadelphia.
Yesterday he declared that "the welfare
OF Philadelphia. present and future, de-
pends upon the ability of the municipal
administration to have and to hold the
confidence OF the people" That is to be
welded to the interests of the people.
We agree with him, within limitations.
The initiative and energy OF individuals,
engaged in other work than government,
is the true measure of progress. But
bad administration OF the public inter.
ests can drive such enterprising citizens
away or discourage them in their pur.
suits. wherefore capable conduct Of pub
lie affairs is essential TO the kind of prog.
ress that is worth while. A progressive
people will not, In fact. tolerate any
other kind of administration.

p. m, when travelling about a half mile
above the sea.
Since then the world has waited over
nineteen years for some news of Andree
and his Eagle. 1t has been terrible
Andree and his little crew.
All sorts of conflicting rumors have ac-
counted for the fate of the three aero
nauts. One Of these was brought down
from the Arctic regions of upper Canada
by veteran of the frozen North, Will
liam Irvine, who had served the Hudson
Bay Company for flfty-seven years
Touching at Prince Albert, Saskatchewan,
100 miles below his trading post, he
there told a strange story TO the Canadian
authorities, who dispatched It over to
Sweden
Shortly before leaving his frigid station
this aged man had been visited by an
Indian from the Mackenzie River region.
The red man told OF having met, in the
previous winter, a band of Eskimos laden
with strange goods. of quality and kind
unknown to their parts. Among these
articles were instruments and fittings of
brass, cooking utensils of ingenious work.
manship and generous supply of cord
age. also OF waterproof cloth. The In
dian. upon questioning the Eslximos,
heard from their lips this strange tale:
Once when hunting upon the shores of
the Arctic Sea they had beheld In the
sky wondrous apparition. resembling
a vast "oomiak." or woman's boat. 1t
came down to earth and there dropped
out of II three whitefaced beings.
For a while the people so feared the
great "oomiak" that they would not 20
near II, but at length they gathered their
courage and entered 1t, securing these
strange things which the Indian after.
ward saw, besides much provisions. guns
and ammunition.
According to one story, heard by Irvine,
the Indians killed the three occupants of
the big balloon. but the evidence as to
this was rather vague.
The real fate OF Andree and his COM
panions is likely to remain mystery un.
til the end of time.

The Bob reduces the process of max
ing tea to a minimum. The tea is
placed in a hollow cylinder and the
water poured into and goes through
the time cup. The process of infusion
then begins and all responsibility is
placed on the Tea Bob.
The London Tea Bob is brown
earthenware pot, in which fits a seam
less aluminium cylinder with band Of
perforations around the middle. An
aluminium air float fits into the bottom
of the cylinder, and in the top of the
cylinder rests an aluminium time cnp
and cover.
The Tribune Institute has proven by
repeated tests that the London Tea
Bob makes a delicious cup of tea, but
il dsagrees utterly with the statement
made in the circular that this cup is
entirely free from tannin" and that
"thein is benefcent and beneficial"
Even the best teapot could hardly work
a miracle either in changing or entire
ly eliminating the chemical constitu-
ents of the beverage, or reversing the
effect upon the human system OF an
acknowledged stimulant. Price, $3.50.
