MILWAUKEE, September IA young
Norwegian, named Rosendahl, from Min
neapolis, gave an exhibition yesterday of
walking on the water. 1t was q complete
success. With his feet secured in two small
boat-like structures, the young man
walked rapidly and easily on the surface of
the water. The popularity of Rosendahl's
invention is the possibility of making
progress by an actual walking movement.
There was no striding back or sideways,
but a straight forward walk, at the rate OF
at least three miles per hour. Thousands
of spectators witnessed the feat, and the
crowd was very enthusiastic over the young
mans success. The swell occasioned by
the passing tugs did not disturb the walker
to any noticeable degree.
