Zurich Herald, 1920-02-19, Page 3• IE ST SENSE ON ASCRIBED TO NATIVES OF FAR N RTS. Stefansson, the Arctic Travel- ler, is Very Sceptical Reg,rd- ing "Direction Sense.99 The 'apparently marvellous way in which Indians, Eskimos and other prinsitivopeoples make through forests, sno v covered area or other regions that have little to in- dicate direction to white newcomers has led to a widespread belief that they possess a mysterious sixth sense of direction. Stefansson, the Arctic traveller, who has lived much with Eskimos, is very sceptical about the existence of any superiority of sense of direction among primitive peoples of any kind, and gives strong evidence from per- sonal experience that Eskimos' have no such superiority. interior to White Men, SOMZIEDIA.: A Quite eller or, Headache A headache is frequently caused by badly digested food; the gasee and acidsresulting therefrom are absorbed by the blood which in turn irritates the nerves and causes painful symptoms called headache, neuralgia,, rheuma- tism, etc. i$ to 30 drops of iflother Seigel's Syrup will correct faulty digestion and afford relieklOaeaseeseseeseseeseese.actsesseeseeef.

The Eskimo's answer was that he had covered the meat with snow and set traps by it, and that the place was a long, ay off. Stefansson volunteered to go with him the next morning, but Tannaumfrk said this wonid not be necessary; if he were to start early in the morning he would, without as- sistance, be able to get the meat home by night. Bright and early the next day he was off with sled and dogs, but it had long been pitch dark when he teturued. In answer to questions he said that he had been hurried all the time; that he had hastily loaded the meat on the sled, had set two addition- al traps by the deer kill, making four altogether, and had come right back home. ever had.

Stefansson and his com- panion, Dr. Anderson, heard some of their dogs howling and whining be- hind a ridge about half a mile `away from the camp. The sounds indicated that the dogs had been caught in traps. As the weather was about 40 degrees below zero, there was danger that if the dogs' paws, if pinched in traps, would freeze quickly and ren- der the dogs valueless for service. Stefansson and Anderson hastened therefore to the rescue. They found four of the dogs, as they expected, with their feet caught in traps. But what greatly surprised them was to find these traps around the deer kill, which 'I'nnnauinirk had taken so many hours to reach in his trips back and forth. The explanation was that Tannauwirk, in starti.ug after the deer, had followed it as it took a circuitous course of more than ten miles. After shooting the deer he had followed the trail over which he had conte and in going after its meal: he had once more made the circuitous trip, covering more than. twenty miles in a rotted trip to a spot that was less than half a mile away.

I felt about in al- most every direction for the tower of the mill, to avoid falling off, but I was unable to locate it, and I had to sit very still with nothing to hold on to. I sat thus until the cold waked me entirely, when I found lnyeelf sitting ou top of the sewing machine. In the morning I told no one about my ad- venture for fear of being laughed at.
