SOME NORTH POLE THEORIES

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,

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

peared people would say that he
had gone down Symmes' Hole.
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-

On June 14,. Dr. Kussel per
formed an operation on Mrs,
Elliott at Guthrie. Okla. 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

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. Gaskins sang "Thou Art
to Me," by Chadwick, and Chad
wick himself would have been
pleased had he heard it. The in
terpretation was particularly fine,
and Mr. Gaskins sang with much
eeling. .

iKuwifV,, anA wwrwiD11- WTH. Davis, of Albany, and
at. the Poles." 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. .
