first, however, is much harder to learn than
the latter.
The feats that can be done on the slack
wire are naturally more restricted than on
the trapeZr, as it has much more stability,
the basis of operations in one being light
rope and the other a heavy bar.
There are six things that l would advise
n beginner TO heed as the most important
factors in course of training in all KINDS
of balancing They are as follows:
First-A moderate use OF tobacco ana
alcohol; the nerves should be steady; man
who drinks makes poor balancer.
Second-Ihe most assiduouS attention and
practice until the balances have been well
learned, when very little practice will
keep one in trim.
Thlrd-In learning to balance on the
trapeze always catch the rope when the bal
ance is lost This should be kept in mind
when practicing near the floor, so that when
elevated in the air it will be second nature
to catch the ropes when balance Is lost.
Fourth-Never try TO do any balancing
if feeling out of sorts or unwell. 1t will do
no good and diScOuraging fall might enSue.
0Fifth-Strengthcn the various muscles OF
the body which are called into play-and
this, | may say, is about all of them-So
that they can perform what is required OF
them instantly. This is what is known as
being set

may find an easy rest 50 that when the be-
einner loses his balance as he certainly will
Go on his first attempts, be will not lose his
personal dignity as we'll as his general equi-
pGse.
When he can take chair and place it in
the middle of the room and strike balance
and hold it. then let him turn to the trapeZe
aud persevere on 1t until the. feat is accom-,
plished. He should not fold his arms until
lie is absolutely certain of his balance.
After he has reached that state of assur-
ance the trapeZe should be elevated to Its
natural height, from fifteen to twenty-five
feetfrom the floor.
My state of mind on first finding myself
in the air with the hard floor visible
through the mtshes Of decidedly skimpy-
looking net was that Of extreme nervous
ness, to say the least. This feeling, how
ever gradually wears off and in its place
comes confidence.
