An Essay on Roller Skates.
.~.rut. n,n.r.


The roller skate is q hayward little
quadruped. It IL as frollcsome and
more innocent looking than q lamb,
but for interfering with ones upright
attitude In the community 1t Is per-
haps the best machine that has ap-
peared In Salt Lake City.
Ones FIRST feeling on standing up on
q pair Of roller skates is an uncon-
trollsble tendency to come from to-
gether. One foot may start out
toward Idaho while the other rs
promptly strikes out for Arizona. The
legs do not stand by each other as legs
related by blood should do, but each
shows q disposition to set up In busi.
ness alone, and leave you to take care
of yourself as best you may. The
awkwardness Of this arrangement Ia
apparent. While they are setting up
Independently, there Is nothing for
you to do but to sit down and await
future developments. And you have
to sit down, too, without having
made any previous preparation for It,
and without having devoted as much
thought to It as you might have
done had you been consulted In the
matter.
One Of the most noticeable things o,
q skating rink is the strong attraction
between the human body and the floor
Of the rink. II the human body had

There are some of the falls that
would like to be excused from descrlb
Ing. The rear fall is the favorite. II
Is more frequently utilized than any
other. There are two positions IN
