THE RIVER RISING.

Continued Rain in the Mountains VIII
Probably Make 1t High.
The weather in the mountains still con-
tinues rainy, the agents yesterday all re-
porting from twenty to twenty-four hours
of rain during the preceding twenty-four
hours. There Were some slight tiurries
of snow at the Summit, but they did not
amount to much. The trains were hav-
ing no trouble, and were running about
on time. There will probably be large
continued rise in the river. At noon
yesterday it had raised over five feet in
the preceding twenty-four hours, max
ing rise in all of about eight feet.

A CHANGE FOR TIE BETTER.
a Large Number of Horses in Train
INC Rt Agricultural Park.

a Large Number of Horses in Train
Ing at Agricultural Park.
Since the Board of ofDirectors OF the State
Agricultural Society decided to give the
use of the stalls at the Park free TO those
who wish to train their horses here, a
great change for the better has beon OBJ
served. There are now thirty horses in
training there, and it is expected that be-
fore spring there will be 200. This means
many dollars spent every week In Sacra-
mento. beside the probability that many
races Will be arranged here that would
not be otherwise, and also increases the
probability of a successful spring meet
ing, the horses being trained and present
at the Park, instead of having to come
here from abroad.
Postofice Hours on Thanksgiving Day.
The general delivery, stamp window
and carriers window at the Postoiiice
will be open on Thursday from ll:3o a. NJ.
until l p. NJ. There will be no delivery

Injury From RicycIe Ridinr

One evil traceable to bicycling is the con-
hrmed stoop which has already declared
itself in many wheelmen, n result so com
mon i'll the less strongly built bicyclists of
the continent as to have found its way into
classification as the HYPNOSIS bicyclista-
rum
Ihe dorsal curvature posteriorly, which
used to be rare in boys under IA wears of
age, is, now that the bicycle is so largely
used, very frequently met with, particular
ly among those young bicyclists whose
spinal column is developing more rapidly
than the ligaments and muscles, and in
whose case, therefore, the equilibrium be-
tween those parts is more or less disturbed
Were it merely an unsightly deformitv.
the stoop in question ought to be combated
In every way, but confirmed dorsal cnrya-
ture posteriorly has consequences of its own
quite mischievous enough to call for i'm
mediate counteraction. The displacement.
embarrassed functional activity and ar
rested or diseased development of these
organs, which kyphosis inevitably induces
are all too serious to warrant the slightest
neglect in remedying them
Exercise of kind to accustom the spinal
column to an action directly antagonistic
to the inclination forward of the bicyclist's
attitude is what is needed. The use of the
Indian clubs or such similar means of in
curvating the spine anteriorly, throwing
out the chest and maintaining the head
erect, should be practiced with that object.
