"We grow like what we love, the poets say.
O mighty Cupid! shall I then some day.
Grow shorter by a head. have tiny feet
And beardless lips, and bang my hair, I pray?"

The Mississippi Question.
"Up hill" means a change to greater elevation. Elevation is measured from the sea level. The elevation of Lake Itasca is greater than the elevation of Pilot Town. The Mississippi flows down, hill. In the comparison of elevations the shape of the earth has no consideration, and its oblateness has nothing to do with this question. S.
