Northern fur seals are known in science as Callorhinun ursinul. the National Geographic Society says. These warm-blooded orestures have milk glands and lungs. but they are champion swimmers rap- able of staying at. sea all winter and migrating 5.000 miles.

since time unknown. the unis have flocked luck to the isles of their birth to breed. Mo.-it con- verge. no the. rrlbllnfs tU.S.l in the Berni: Sea. Smaller popula- lions summer on the Command- er islands tRussiat and Robheii Island. .iapaiiesi--held until the end of World War ll.

The age-old rhythm of hard life begins. On Irrivll each gravid row gives birth to I roly-poly. sleek black pup Mating takes place anew. The mothers alter- nately feed their babies and put out to sea for week-long fishing inpa. Gorged wit.h creamy milk. the pups sleep and learn to swim.

The bulls? Harassed beyond all reason. The tab of guarding a huge harem from poachers keeps the "besclimastcrs” so busy that they have time neither in feed nor sleep. At. summerli end. they are nervous wrecks. rib-lean and mm- bat.-scarred.

WHEN WINTER CHMEK

Winter sales drive the seals- from the islands. Cowii and young males fan out as far south as Mexi- can waters. Pups cope for them- selves; many are eaten by kil- ler whales or die in storms. Bulls lend to may in Alaska waters. no doubt in get in good start on the islands in spring.

Actually. this type of sugges- tion might really help you get to sleep. At lent it might help you to rolax. And real relaxtiun is something many of us need in today's spoeded-up world IEST POSITION

if you have difficulty getting to sleep tonight. try "talking your- self to sleep." The best position for relaxing probably is on your back.

Close your eye: tui.-I I)on't clamp them tight. lust sort of let them (Ill shut. Then let your jnws rest. Keep your lips together lllhtly. Donli use force to pi-cu them together.

Then concentrate. but don't iactullly talk Iloud. on the follow- 113

”Reln Irms.rclIx arms. rein more. Relax more and more and more.”

Each time you exhale. think your arms into relsxarion.

Then try the same thing with your legs 1 don't think there is any need of telling your fingers and toes to relax

However. your chest xliould be told to relax too Do this in the same manner. As you exhale. think to yourself:

"Relax chesl:relax cliest;rclIx more and more and more."

Of course you can include your ” '"' 's and even your scalp if you want to TAKE FIVE MINUTEB

At first. 1 think you might spend as long as five inutes on each part of the body Long before you have completed the process you should be asleep.

It not. at least you should in pretty well relaxed.

As each night puaes. it prob: blv will take less and less time to become fully relaxed it's worth
