"TRENTON, N.J. - Hopes that a beluga whale would head back to sea after swimming up the Delaware River proved unfounded. On Wednesday, the 10- to 12-foot white whale was spotted near Beverly, about eight miles south of the point where it was first spotted around noon Tuesday at Trenton, where it drew hundreds of camera-toting spectators.

But the whale has since stopped heading towards the sea and was again moving north. The whale was first spotted downstream from the city’s famed "Trenton Makes The World Takes” bridge, which spans the river at the uppermost reach of its tidal waters.

The whale spent Tuesday (4.12) afternoon and early evening swimming in a loop between the bridge and a marina about a mile downstream.

The whale had to swim directly past the city of Philadelphia, some 80 miles from the Atlantic Ocean to Trenton. Belugas usually remain in arctic waters, their native habitat. The word Beluga comes from the Russian word for white, which is the color of their skin. They are not a threatened or endangered species, with the global population estimated at 200,000.

A right whale - named Waldo the Wrong-Way Right Whale by Philadelphians - straggled into the Delaware River in 1995. The whale beached itself at an oil terminal in Pennsauken, N.J., but disappeared after about 10 days. It was found two years later swimming near Canada."

Nature has devised two main and fundamental organic designs for the systematic solution of life's metabolic-regeneration requirements - the zoologicals and the botanicals. The vegetation is designed with roots to receive its sustenance at first hand by photosynthesis from the sun and sun-energized hydraulicly and pneumaticly regenerated chemical recyclings. The zoologicals are designed with high mobility to go after their sustenance and receive their sun energy indirectly by first feeding upon the vegetation. Some zoologicals feed on other zoologicals which latter first feed on vegetation. Man, though designed zoologically to go after his sustenance, found few places where the vegetation gave him fruits and plantable foods. Those who did find favorable vegetation conditions set about to guard that territory and to cultivate the most favorable types of vegetation and others hung hopefully about them. Thus, man with very short legs and a very big earth came to confuse himself with the botanicals and pretended to himself that he had roots and that he owned the favorable pieces of the earth. The swift evolutionary changes taking place invisibly are about to uproot him - all concepts of urbanization will become obsolete. Only the earth and the solar system will be his temporary home.

The swift shift of humanity from an agricultural to an industrial world economy draws men from the agricultural lands into the city. The industrialized tools and industrialized planting, cultivating, and harvesting service industries sweep over the cultivated lands.

Urbanization is only temporary as the cities become the launching pads for each human's blastoff into world-shuttling citizenship.

The centers of cities explode outwardly like volcanoes to deploy their supermarket services to ever-newer mobile traffic centers. The immobilized families and individuals begin to shuttle swiftly between high concentrations and highly diffuse deployments. They converge for the metaphysical exchange, for the brain and mind activities, for cultural and commercial exchange for museums, theatres, and university study, for broadcasting which is high-velocity publishing. They deploy for their physical activities, for the muscular and energetic activities, archaeological, geological, and ecological research.

The whole of the urbanism is a vast oscillating system - a world-embracing entropic, volcanic physical explosion countered at increasingly high-frequency with the world-embracing, metaphysically contracting, and information concentrating system which regenerates by broadcasting and publishing its progressively generalized concepts for regeneration of man's antientropic functioning that fulfills his universe functioning.
