Apart from the broad fact that the average age of the first seventeen Emperors from Jimmu downwards is 109 years, while the average age of the next seventeen is only sixty-one and a half years, there are irreconcilable discrepancies in some of the dates themselves.
Thus experience also teaches, that where there are honorable, old families who fare well and have many children, they owe their origin to the fact, to be sure, that some of them were brought up well and were regardful of their parents. On the other hand, it is written of the wicked, Ps. 109,13: Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Thomas Thwaite, amounting to £9,109 3s. 4d., and that a cheque to that amount should be at once handed to him, Daniel Thwaite the son, if he would call at the chambers of Messrs. Goffe and Goffe, with a certified copy of the probate of the will of Thomas Thwaite the father. Nine thousand pounds, and that to be paid to him immediately, on that very day if he chose to call for it!
In February, 1857, the electoral vote for President was counted by the two Houses of Congress. If counted, it gave Frémont 114 votes; if omitted, Frémont would have 109. In the debate which followed, Senator Toombs discussed very closely a point which has since been the subject of sharp contention.
From my recollection of Captain Cook's survey of this coast I considered the direction of it to be north-west, and I was therefore satisfied that, with the wind to the southward of east, I could always clear any dangers. At noon I observed in latitude 13 degrees 26 minutes south; course since yesterday north 82 degrees west, distance 109 miles; longitude made 39 degrees 4 minutes.
Shooting as he rode, now to the right, now to the left, then straight ahead, he got his share of the birds. Little Fred Newport, only 14 years old, was shooting like a veteran, and long before the rest of us had scored, he proudly announced that he had the limit. The final round-up found us with 109 birds for seven guns a good shoot, under very adverse circumstances.
This haven is to be called by the name of its great author,109 and will prove of infinite benefit, by affording a secure retreat to ships on that extensive and dangerous coast. Farewell. To MAXIMUS
Its position by our observations in latitude 67 degrees 19 minutes 23 seconds North, longitude 109 degrees 44 minutes 30 seconds West, variation 41 degrees 43 minutes 22 seconds, dip 88 degrees 58 minutes 48 seconds. I have named this river Hood as a small tribute to the memory of our lamented friend and companion.
This gathering, like the one in Melrose, was greatly depleted by the middle of September. "Only 109 robins flew over the place to-night," my correspondent wrote on the 25th, "against 538 September 4th, 838 August 30th, and 1180 August 28th." Even so late as October 9th, however, the wood was not entirely deserted.
The problem suggested to Koenig was put to another mathematician, Cramer, whose solution came even closer to that of the bees, viz., 109 deg 28 1/2' for the large angle, and 70 deg 31 1/2' for the small.
