SOME NORTH POLE THEORIES The Rochester Post recalls that many years ago "Symmes Hole" was a part of the slang of i fountv. okla.. the period. When a man disap-. refee to tate the testimony of Depositions are being taken at Albany in a case pending in Oklahoma growing out of the peculiar fact that a physician in sewing up a woman's body after an operation is alleged to have left a piece of gauze 11 by 33 inches in. size inside her body. Alice M. Elliott, of Lebanon, is suing Dr. U. v. L. Russell, of Guthrie, Okla., for $20,000 damages for malpractice. The depositions are being taken before Attorney N. M. Newport, of Lebanon, who was appointed by the Circuit Court of Oklahoma as a special t Vl Q 4" VAQDAn r- 4"VlZiTT llQim KfiATt known to remain portions of six or seven years to -complete their courses. The persistency, and determination which carry young men and women through college under such circumstances indi cate their character arid promise well for their future success in life. The great majority of our students are mature for their age, and their industry, earnestness of purpose, responsiveness and general deportment show, a sense of obligation and a spirit of loyalty, creditable alike to them, to the college and to the state of Oregon.

The man who was responsible for this saying was John Cleves Symmes, an American and author, born in Sussex county, N. J., in 1870. He entered the United States army in 1802, ser- ...

She . survived the operation and soon ! afterward came to Oregon with her husband, S. H. Elliott, and i located at Lebanon. During the war he settled down in Newport, Ky., and devoted himself to a theory. This theory was that the earth and all other planetary bodies are composed of a num ber of hollows, concentric spheres, open at their poles; and to support this theory the army officer wrote a remarkable vol ume entitled "Theories of Con Centric Spheres, Demonstrating Bishop Spalding Speaks at O.A.C (Continued! front page one ) NAL BEAUTY PARLORS HERE r - .-" .

She suddenly became very ill and Drs. . H. and J. C. Booth, of Lebanon, who were attending her, saw that an - immediate operation was necessary to save her life. She was brought to St. Mary's Hospital in Albany and an operation was performed The Bishop was given tremend ous applause as he sat down. Others On Program As a' preliminary to Bishop Spalding's address, W. R. Boone' gave a piano selection, and Bish op Scaddingmade a few remarks. At the close of the address, Prof. W. F.

Before issuing this book Symmes issued a call for "100 brave companions, well equipped, to start from Siberia in the fall with sleighs on the ice of the Sea; I engage we find a warm and new land .stocked with thrifty vegetables and animals, if not men, on reaching one de gree north of the latitude of 82 degrees. We will return the following spring." But Symmes, like most proph ets, was without honor in his own country. No brave men answered his call for an expedi tion to the North. He was un daunted, however, and after a series of public lectures he peti tioned i congress, in 1822, for a subvention in order to equip an expedition to the "Arctic. Con gress rejected his appeal, but some of his wealthy converts fit ted out an expedition that reach ed a latitude of 82 degrees south, thus demonstrating the incor rectness of the Symmes theory. But the army officer was a man of one idea, hard-headed and ob stinate. He was not convinced by the results of the expedition that sailed on . the good ship An nawan, and he died in 1829, be lieving to the last the correctness of concentric spheres. I'J i During his lifetime John Cleve, Symmes was more or less ridi culed as a crank, but after his aeam tne tneory was.taken up by other men, and in time they became rather widely accepted. Even as late as the early eigh ties the Symmes'' Hole was gravely exploited by many stu dents of the Arctic arid Anarc- tic. The exploration of the last two decades, however, have ef fectually destroyed the theory. Shackelton, Peary and Cook have demonstrated that the Symmes theory is as ridiculous as the Ptolemy .theory, of the sun, or the Herodotus theory of the i shape of the world. Dr. W. H. Booth and Dr. J. C. Booth, of Lebanon. When the physicians opened up the woman's body they were reindeer and i a piece of gauze wmcn naa gradually collected mio a soim mass ana completely filled an intestine for a distance of about three inches. The gauze had clogged the intestine completely for probably 24 hours before the operation and had not the operation been performed immediately death, would have resulted. After the gauze was removed Mrs. Elliott at once got well. . More of What Curtis Wrote (Continued from page one ) Letter List rolled in 1906-1907 was 833.
