The author shows that the moments \[ \mu_n=\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^n\omega(x)dx,\quad\text{where} \omega(x)=\left(2\cosh{\pi x\over 2}\right)^{-1} \] are integers, and that the orthogonal (monic) polynomials \(\tau_k(x)\) with respect to this measure satisfy the recursion \[ \tau_{k+1}(x)=x\tau_k(x)-k^2\tau_{k-1}(x),\quad\text{for} k=0,1,2,\dots \] and has generating function \[ G(x,s)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty{\tau_k(x)\over k!} s^k={e^{x\arctan s}\over\sqrt{1+s}}. \] This is a special case of the Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials. The author compares this to the system \(\{\sigma_k(x)\}\) given by \[ \sigma_{k+1}=x\sigma_k(x)-k(k-1)\sigma_{k-1}(x),\quad\sigma_{-1}\equiv 0,\;\sigma_0\equiv 1. . \]
