Water BicYcles.

At first sight water bicycle would
seem difficult thing to construct, but
really it is very simple. Take two cylin-
drical air floats, and placing them parallel
with each other fasten them together at
asuitable distance apart Here you have a
raft Now suspend the frame of the bicycle
between the two, SO that the front wheel
will pass into tho water to the depth of two
OF three inches. This forms the steering
apparatus. Now fix to the spokes of the
rear wheel crosspieces of wood, precisely
as the wheel of side whssled steamer is
constructed, and the pFopelling power is
gained. The whole is capable of great i'm
provement, for as now the ordinary BIZ
cycle is applied to the float special and
much cheaper forms could be got up, and
also more of an advantage could be had
in the economy of power. Indeed one
would have to go but few steps further
and attach the twin screw propeller to the
aquatic novelty to produce desired results.
AS it now stands, the scope of the idea is
limited to still water, the slightness of
the affair making it dangerous in its ap-
plication to waters in any way turbulent.

Ward 1, the scene of Harper's crime
last year, is once more with us. In this
ward Mr.. Edward 81. Sargent was elected
warden when the polls opened. Some
one moved that Edward Fl. Sargent be
chosen by reclamation. There were
cries of no, and for a moment Mr.. Phil
brook appeared in doubt as to what to do
until MIR Looney spoke from the floor
and moved to proceed to ballot. Mr..
Looney, Republican, and Mr.. John Ward
Democrat, were appointed to receive and
count the votes. The ballot proceeded
without event until all at once Mr.. Ward
declared that he saw a man put in three
ballots for Mr.. Sargent. Mr.. Looney
said he did not see this, and Mr.. Phil
brook said he did not see anything of
the kind. MI. Ward insisted on new
ballot. Finally it was decided that if
the count showed that Mr.. Sargent was
elected by only three majority there
should be a second ballot. Hot words
were spoken on both sides, and for
time there was much excitement. When
the votes were counted, E. FL. Sargent
had 157, and J. FL. Alexander 40. Mr..
Sargent was declared elected, and he pre-
sided at the ballot box during the day.
Mrs. Burgess received vote for school
