A BICYCLIsI'S TRAINING
aints From an Interesting Talk With
Champion Zimmerman.


Champion Zimmerman.
Trittsa Tor ne Register.
This article was inspired by a CONVEX
versation with Champion Zimmerman
Just before be sailed for Europe, and
many OF the suggestions are the fruit OF
his wide experience in bicycle riding for
pleasure and prOnt.
The first item 10 merit attention is the
the matter OF pedaling. How many
riders pedal properly? How many get
all there is out OF the force applied
without waste Of power and consequent
fatigue? Not one amateur 10 a thou
sand. They just press their feet down,
I'd keep pressing them until the pedal
c mes uppermOst again, and 10 a certain
ttent the pressure is continued the
wuoe way round, even when II is a
ste OF power. The movement OF the
/ ? al is round a circle. AS soon as IL
D ,,ses the top Of the circle the weight
OF the foot drives the wheel until ii
passes the lowest point, aud then the
power Of the foot on that pedal ceases
to be a driving power and becomes, TO a
greater or less degree, break or deter.
rent power. 1t Is to the practical APP
plcation OF this one item that much OF
the phenomenal speed OF the profession
al due. The way to develop this meth
Cd is TO commence AID ride slowly,
watching the pedals, then slowly in-
crease the speed, aud practice until it
becomes second nature.
Another very important Item is TO sit
fairly upright in all ordinary riding.
The stOop is al very well for speeding
or turning corners, but ii is more iatig-
uing for any distance over q mile, aud
so is a loss instead OF a gain. II the
handles are tightly gripped, and the
arms used as rigid levers 10 brace the
feet, a much more graceful and easy
STYLE OF riding will result, with none OF
the cramped feeling the following day.
When going up hill rider will find g
ipstinctiyely levers himself upon his
arms to obtain the greater motive power,
AMI that should be sufficient to show al
once the Importance of this style OF
leverage in ordinary straight riding for
a distance. By persistent STOPPING q
false growth or development is obtain

expressed TO me as he sat at his desk at

"What figure are the Populists going
to cut in the result2 Have they gained
strength since '92?'
my observation Of the matter has
been that the Populists are not gaining
in numbers In the States that they were
strong 10 90, and that their strength
has not increased aay ia the other
States. The elections Just passed are
an agreeable surprise IN this respect.
II is question, even, whether they
have increased at all III Nebraska

what effect has the disturbance In
Chicago aud elsewhere had upon ths
socialist mOyement?'
Il do not believe that the labor
trouble Ia the west has added TO the
strength OF the socialistic movement
or tina. it has caused any acquisitions
to the ranks of populism. Anarch-
isms and doctrines or policies tnas
strike at society and rest for their
foundation on unbridled license are so
un-American and so foreign to the prin-

Judgment, and his opinion carries great

question is an important one In the

AZ don't think that the tariff reform
ers In the North were as anxious for a
change In the tariff law as they were for
a change in the financial laws, and for
this reason preferred that the tariff

and that a financial measure should take

Many years ago, when the great Won
Moltke, the renowned marshal OF the
inyincible Prussian armies, declared
that our civil war did not interest him
because he was not concerned in the
fighting OF mobs," and other talk Of
that kind was heralded across the water,
it seemed that there might be something
in IL. America could boast Of neither q
Marathon nor a Waterloo, neither a
Hannibal nor Napoleon. But the war
snnalist is driving that ineKcusabie
modesty out of our heads. II required
centuries to place Marathon In its true
light as factor Ia the worlds prog
ress, and Waterloo's Importance In his
tory is not yet fixed. So it is yet too
early 10 declare how much hung upon
the issues at Antietam and Gettysburg,
on Shiloh aud Chickamauga, on Nash
Vile and Murfreesboro. But one spe-
cies OF glory VIC may claim In conse-
yuence OF the civil war and challenge
the worlds verdict upon it, for the test
OF the battlefield proved it again aud
again. and that is that the martial he
roes OF the past, whether the Spartan
braves, the warriors from beyond the
Rhine or Napoleon's invincibles, re-
cruited some goodly company to
share their eternal bivouacs from
the ranks Of these same
