TINY FAR NORTH
CITY IS HEALTHY
Hard Winter Kills Off Germs
Until Boats Get Through
Ice.

LONG YEAR CITY, Spitzbergen
R).-This Summer Of 1884 finds
Spitzbergen's community Of 600 souls
occupying the world northernmost
town in thriving condition after an
exceptionally hard Winter. The colder
1t gets the better the health Of the
population seems to be.
During the Winter there Is seldom
q case of illness reported here. The
doctors chief work then is to attend
to accidents in the coal mines, but
even these are few.
Illness begins when the first boats
from the outside world get through
the ice belt in the Spring, bringing
with them germs of cold and flu.
When the last boat has left just
before Winter and the ice period
has set in the improvement in health
is noticeable.
Mines Employ Many.
Although darkness prevails seven
months, life is by no means as un-
bearable as those whose climes are
more favored by sunshine are apt
to believe. With the exception Of a
clergyman, a doctor, a dentist and a
few clerks and engineers, every man
works in the coal mines owned by
the Norwegian Coal Co., Storke
Norske.
The miners are enthusiastic sports
men, gunners and hunters. They
have their own gymnastic team, which
made an excellent showing at ma
tional competition in Stavanger, Nor
way, in June. They are also expert
swimmers, thanks to an indoor SWIM
ming pool which the coal company
has constructed.
At Green Bay, o few miles away
a Russian colony of 1900 men and
women are working the Russian coal
mines. Between 200 and 800 women
stayed the Winter through among
these miners and II children were
born during the Winter.
Go Visiting on Skis.
Relations between the Norwegians
and Russians are good and during
the Winter the members of the two
colonies make frequent visits to each
other on skis. The Russians, when
tIlcy ViSlI Long 1chT OlLy, usually
stage a theatrical performance or a
ballet.
The only authority at Spitzbergen
is an assistant secretary of the Spitz-
bergen administrations young man
who performs all the duties of a civil
servant in both civil and criminal
fields. The present secretary Is Helge
Instad. who got his Arctic experience
in the Norwegian section of the Arctic
and as hunter and trapper in
Canada.
Secretary Ingstad's only communi-
cation with the Norwegian authori-
ties during the Winter months is
via radio to Tromsoe, but thus far
he has met no difficulties. The Arctic
dwellers are law-abiding people.
