Married. Bernt Balchen. pilot for Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd on trans-Atlantic and Polar flights; and Emmy Soerlie, of Brooklyn; at Coytesville...
...they are ether waves of very high frequencies, reported Robert Andrews Millikan, chairman of the executive committee of California Institute of Technology, one of the most famed of the great West Coast scientists. If they were electrons, the rays' reception on earth would be influenced by the magnetic polar regions. To test this, Dr. Millikan took the electroscope with which he measures the rays to Churchill, Canada, only 875 mi. from the North Magnetic Pole. He made observations every day and night for a week, found the intensity of the waves the same in Churchill...
Reporter Stubbendorff's party had to fight off polar bears, shot five while they collected from the camp a sledge, oars, snowshoes, remnants of the balloon basket, boats, unopened food tins, ammunition, sleeping bag, instruments, clothing, a roll of exposed photograph film, a gold fruit knife, medicines, a white dress-cravat, etc. etc. Then they found a skull, probably that of Andrée.* But best of all they found Strindberg's diary...
...toasted the King of Sweden and Norway in 1836 wine which he had given them. A month later, although food and ammunition were still plentiful, the men were dead. Guessers last week guessed they 1) froze to death; 2) were poisoned by eating bear liver; 3) were killed by polar bears...
...lose mass through radiation, eventually return to atomic clouds which condense into more stars. As the sun travels through cosmic dust, its radiation varies. Earth's bombardment of electrons comes from the sun, travels along the lines of the earth's magnetic field. Striking in the magnetic polar regions, these electrons maintain the negative electric charge. Variations in electric charge cause atoms to expand, contract, result in a pulsation of the earth. Earthquakes, volcanoes, are evidences of pulsation...
