eight or nine feet long, four and a half
inches wide, and in the thickest part an
inch thick. Mrs Tweadis, author of
"A Winter .Jaunt to Norway" was in
Christiania ut the time of the annual
ski races, and, of course went to see
them, 1T seemed to her as if nearly
all the one hundred and fifty thousand
inhabitants of the city must have gone
out for the same purpose. About a
hundred competitors entered for the
race.
The course began with an asc mt of
about 400 feet up steep hill, mostly
through tile forest, where the men had
to cross cleft, rarineS, hillocks and
mounds. The road had been chosen
for its obstacles and was marked here
and there by piece of red stuff tied
to snowy pine tree.
After the climb came a longer de-
scent, about Il thousand feet, some of
it almost perpendicular.
On fiat surface the skilobers, as
they are called, shuttle along, accom-
plishing n distance of several feet at
each step Down hill they simply fly,
keeping their feet as near together as
possible, and bending their knees. The
uphill work is the hardest The ski
have a strong tendency to slide back
ward The men turn their toes out,
and stamp the snow to get bite.
In toeing out, the legs have to be
kept well apart. else the long shoe over
laps at the heel and trip the wearer.
"To see a man 20 uphill" writes Mrs
Tweedie. This legs apart, and stamping
the snow at each step, is most amusing
from behind, the movement so closely
resembles that of frog with his little
bent legs"
On the day in question, .'in spite of
every obstacle, in spite of the steepness,
in spite OF the sudden turns and twists
of the road, in spite of everything,
the twelve English miles were accom-
plished in one hour, forty-six minutes,

there were no accidents

The Pronosed RECOUNT.

The Democratic candidates and lead
ers in this county nave determined to
demand a recount of the vote, and no
doubt the Courts will grant it. Indeed,
we do not see how the apparent winners
can make any serious objection to the
demand. Presumably. if they feel them
selves armed in honesty, they will be
most anxious to have the ~soundness of
the armor demonstrated to the public
beyond p~eradventure.
A recount is neither a very long nor a
very expensive proceeding. A month or
two ought to dispose of it. 1t is worth
the trouble and expense no matter what
the outcome. So long as a cloud rests
upon the validity of Tuesdays results,
the moral effect of them is lost.
We have a sad suspicion that moral
effect is all we shall gain for our trouble,
but that is no reason why the effort
should not be made.
