THE POETRY OF MOTION.

That IS a sort OF analysis of the style of
swimming in which the worlds half
mile amateur swimming record was
broken the other day. 1t is considered
the fastest way in which people without
inns can make trips through the water.
The beauty of young Thompson's SWIM
ming lies in the synthetic view of it. II
is combination OF rhythmic motions that
keep him steadily and speedily going
ahead with little more impression of
squirt than is given by a yacht that is
sweeping ahead steadily while slightly
rising, plunging and rolling on gentle
waves.
Why is young Thompson, who is not
fellow OF great physical power, able to
SWIM faster than any amateur has ever
been able to do in his prime with the adj
vantage of much greater physical deyel-
opment and years of training and prac-
tice? That is something nobody can tell.
A PHYSICAL GENIUS.
AS he runs around the streets be an
pears just an ordinary little Alameda
kid" He doesn't weigh much. and he
is only an inch and a quarter more than
than five feet above the sidewalk. He
dresses in an ordinary careless ''kid''
style, wears little straw hat, and no one
who didn't know him would notice him
more than any other ordinary-Iookinp
boy, unless one happened to see the four
pretty gold medals with which he now
generally decOrates an ordinary vest that
is slightly ''scutfed." He has BRIGHT
clear eyes that sparkle with interest most
when he sees enough water to swim in.
and he has a freckled little face, but there
is something in that boy and that
something is physical genius.

A UommendabIe Proposi ton
Merely a Difference of Opinion

The Moline Repu blican- Journal mani
tests an altogether too eager disposition
for controversy when it says the ARGUS
takes the Republican Journal quite Sc
verely to task for daring to say word
in defense of Moline city council in the
Typographical map matter" The A GUS
stated explicitly in it's article referred to
that it did not assume to dictate to the
Moline paper in any particular, but made
its own comments and expressed It's own
opinions. Simply because it mentioned
the Moline paper. it is "tskingi: severely
to task" Nonsensel As between the
Republican-J ournal and the ARGUS there
is simply difference Of ideas as to the
place newspaper should occupy in a
community As for the ARGUS it has no
hesitancY in stating it's position which is.
to stand by its city, without being clan
ish; to uphold deserving public improve
ments and enterprises without tosdYing
to the clsmor of the croaker; 10 stick to
what it believes TO be right, no matter
what be the composition or what be the
masses of the opposite side; TO seek to be
tn leader of right, rather thar to be fol-
LAWYER of wrong, regardless Of the ma
/ rites.

Subsidence of Mount Full.

A denial of the reported subsistence of
Mount Fuji comes somewhat late in the
day to convince those who have seen for
themselves SO frequently the disfgura-
ton caused by the reported sinking. The
fact, however, remains that, the shrine
keeper at the top of the sacred noun
tain has written denying that any sub
sidence has taken place. He states that
practical investigation made during the
summer proves the report to have been
entirely groundless, but Immediately fol-
lowing this statement he admits that a
spot of some extent has been found
which was free from snow-between Jo-
jukake and Higashi Yssukawara-vol-
canic action of some kind having taken
place there. This, he says, is still free
from snow and may have been taken to
be subsistence, though such is not the
case.-Japanese Gazette.

THE RIVER SEASON.
The Diamond 10 Line Preparing for Navi-
CATION

CATION
A short time since an item was going
the rounds of the river press to the Effect
that the Diamond 10 line would with
draw its boats from the Upper Mississippi
this season. continuation Of reasons be-
ing alleged for this sctioo. The story
lacked the least semblsnce of any tsngi>
BILE foundation. The management hss
seen fl to deny this allegation, and de-
clsres that the line will continue business
at the old stand this year as usual.
During the winter extensive repairs
have been made and are now being made
on the boats of the line. A new hull has
been built under the Pittsburg, snd she is
nearly as good as new. She, in company
with the Sidney and Mary Nor
ton, are in winter quarters near
Dubuque. 4 large sum of money
has been expended on the two
latter boats, and when the season opens
they will be in excellent shape to pillow
through the waters OF the upper Missis-
sippi river. An improvement which will
be appreciated by persons who travel on
the steamers is the addition of the in
csndescent electric light. which will be
used lighting the slater ooms. The nee
esssry appliances have already been
placed in the Pittsburg. and arrange
ments are being made for the Sidney.
Mary Morton and Gem City.
The Gem City is at present in the
Quincy bay, and repairs are being made
on her. She will run in the St. Louis
and Keokuk trade. The personnel OF

the same as last year, with probably q
few changes of minor Importance.
