New Fashions i'm Swimming,

There are new fashions in swimming,
the most troublesome of which seems
to be TO swim with the hands and feet
tied. A professor OF aquatic arts has
been practing in this stl le in the waters
which surround New York and has met
with measurable success, although, as
it would seem, under considerable dis
advantage. Most OF tie bystanders ex-
pected him to 60 under, but in this they
were disappointed, Moving his hands
like fin and his feet like the tail of q
fish, he managed to make q creditable
degree of speed as he wggled through
the water. In two respects his move
ments gave hints which any swimmer
may find profitable. He rested his head
on the water as on pillow, thus saving
himself great deal of fatigue. He
moved steadily and gracefully, instead
OF with that slashing about of arms
and legs which many swimmers cousid-
er important. We do not all need 10
swim with our hands and legs tied. for
it is only in exceptional instances that
people are tossed into the water in this
condition. But ail people have need of
learning how to swim with their clothes
on. 1t is strange that teachers take lit
tie or no heed of this. Swimming is
not only for pleasure, delightful sport
though it be. It's forthe prescrvationof
life when UNEXPECTEDLY thrown over
board, as from an upsetting Yacht or
exploding steamer. When we Jump or
are pushed into the water il is NOT. with
leisure to take off our clothes and hang
them on tree or store them in d bath
mousse. We. must swim for, our lives
with most Of our rairnent on our backs.
II the professor who has been SWIM
ming like fish viii teach the public
that art he will do jnca,cluably more,
good than by his fancy antics with tied
bands and feet. Paiiats..2hta lan,es.
