As was announced last week Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, tho renowned scien tist nnd Arctic explorer, Is to lecture at tho Oliver theatre January 2C. Ho is filling one hundred nights in Amer ica nnd will go no further west than Donvcr. On account of his great achievements, high scientific stnnding and interesting personality, larger au diences have attended Dr. Nansen's lectures than those of any other man that has ever lectured for money In America. The general public is just beginning to realize fully the wonderful achieve ments of Dr. Fridtjof Nansen and how much tho world and science owes him. During tho space of 2S0 days pre vious to the year of 1SD3 the com bined efforts of all the Arctic expedi tions succeeded in penetrating only ISO milos nearer the Pole. Dr. Nan sen in throe years pushed 200 miles beyond tho furthest point then reached, covering the last 150 miles In tho very short space of sl weeks. His lectures, giving nccount of tho ex pedition, possess not only tho greatest scientific value, but a thrilling nar rative of adventure, absorbing In In terest for both old and young. His graphic pictures of life, in lands hitherto unknown to men, arc start ling, realistic, thrilling, and appeal to all classes. Tho seomlng al most Impossible feats of physical en durance are a marvol to tho entire civ Illzod world. Tho situations, awe-inspiring and grand, contemplating which tho unanimous verdict is that ho is absolutely "the hero of the cen tury." As a sclontist, Dr. Nansen proposed n campaign for "attacking tho Arctic fastness," tho unconventional bold ness of which provoked almost tho universal opposition and ridicule of the scientific world. His theories wero looked upon aB the "wildest imaginings of a disordered brain, lead in IiIr fnllnwors to certain death," yet ho has proven ho was correct, and has accomplished all nnd more than ho claimed possible ,and all of this without the Iobb of a single life. Ho tells tho story in an intelligent, manly way, free from any uttempt at self aggrandizement, but with a dignity becoming in one who hns accom plished so much. His wonderful power and superiority nre felt by all, and ono is constrained to say, "lhls is tho stuff kings aro made of.' Dr. Nansen's great European suc cesses have been more than dtiplicatod in America. The number of applica tions for tlmo, propositions for re ceptions nnd dates booked, being far In excess of any other Blmllar tour, and points to a most hearty welcome to tho Arctic Viking when ho comes to Lincoln.
