If water is allowed to come to complete rest in a vessel where the hole is accurately in the middle, and if the plug is carefully withdrawn, no whirlpool is formed. The whirlpool that is generally observed is due to some slight rotation given to the water near the edge of the vessel, which by the laws of fluid motion, becomes very much accentuated where the water runs out. The direction of the spin depends on the direction of this slight motion.

The spin of the earth should actually give rise to a rotation of the water where it runs out, but the effect is far too small to be observed with a bath or basin. Where a large still sheet of the intake of a water turbine, the effect should, water runs out through a vertical pipe, as at found that however, be large enough to observe. It is, in fact, under these conditions whirlpools form, and that the spin of the water is in an opposite direction in the Northern and in the Southern Hemisphere.

Tourists Welcome Canadian and United States tourists are welcome with the minimum of border regulations and delay. The necessary formalities at the border ordinarily take but a few minutes. Bona fide tourists will experience no trouble and receive every courtesy from the various officials. They simply report to officers at the port of entry, answer the necessary questions, and obtain the requisite permit for admission. Identification only requires one to have birth or baptismal certificates or affidavits from persons having knowledge of their birth, and that naturalized citizens carry their naturalization certificates.
