Readings on a Pacific current by Lieut Bent before the Geographical Society
On Saturday June 6 1837 Lieut Bent of the United States Navy presented a paper to the Geographical and Statistical Society detailing an equatorial Pacific current flowing northward and eastward along the Asian coast. He compared it to the Gulf Stream with barometer readings, ship logs, and currents data, noting higher surface temperatures and strong rips along the stream. The discussion touched on the Kuro-Sivo and its climate effects on Japan and the North American west coast, with Commodore Perry and other shipmasters attending.

Public challenge to spiritualist Gardner sparks mock duel
A Boston writer refused a public discussion on spiritualism and instead offered five hundred dollars to Gardner and others to perform clear parlor tricks under a scientific committee. The proposed committee would include Agassiz, Pierce, Dr. Bunold, the Istvoraminad editor, and Prof. Vorsferd, with no risk to participants.

Fragmented Verse and a Troubled Narrative From Watusford
Absent Mis Stewart of Watusford, NY laments a starry night scene while a garbled OCR passage recounts a chaotic event. The text strangely mixes names, places, and jargon, mentioning a draft of 4,400 danges and a Lewiston-like aid society amid unclear dialogue and miswritten phrases.
