Pole trips deemed of little value to science
Prof John B Shearer of Cornell says reaching the north pole by Cook or Peary yields little science value without proper data gathering tools. He notes pendulum experiments would be needed to map earth’s shape, something neither explorer carried.

A chaotic health office record appears with numerous personal names, ages, and addresses. The jumbled OCR lists residents and relatives, including Grace Ewing, Elizabeth Tenter, Theda Tasneucudoy, Cec A, Mary Nyger, and others, resembling a census or roster with scattered ages and locations.
