THE TRIPLE soMERsAuLT.

1t Is the Most Difficult of All AcrobntIc
Felts
The most difficult acrobatic feat i'm
the world is to throw n triple somcr-
sault. The double is compar4uIvcly
easy; but to describe three co,aDlcte
circles III the air with the body is
bigger feat than the most expert aero
bat of to-day cares to undertake. Only
three men have as yet accomplished il,
although dozens have lost their lives in
making the attempt. To perform q
triple solnersault one would, of course.
have to jump from spring board high
enough to be able to turn three times
before ahghting, and probably no
gymnast has sufficient power to leap
higher than is necessary to accomplish
double somersault, saws an exchange.
The height is not the only trouble.
If it were lcaping experts, by improved
appliances and practice, would over
come Chat difficulty. But after the
body has turned twice the performer,
loses control of it and the law of gravi-
tation overcomes bodily dextcrity. His
head being heavier than his feet, he is
apt to alight on it first and break his
neck. One of the three acrobats who
have already accomplished the great
feat refused to try it again, being as
sured that his alighting on his feet was
an accident, as he could not control his
body after turning the second time.
Another undertook the feat for wager
of one hundred dollars.
In the first attempt he turned three
times, but alightcd on his hands.
Everybody was satisfied with the result
and the money was rendered him. He
proudly refused it, saying that the feat
had not been perfectly accomplished,
and that he would repeat il and alieht
upon his feet before he felt justified in
taking the one hundred dollars. He
did attempt to repeat it, but fell on his
head, dislocating his neck.

END OF THE VOYAGE.
Celebrated on Board Ship with Much
Pomp and Ceremony.

Pomp and Ceremony.
A woman who lately crossed to Eu-
rope for the first time writes home Of
the pleasant pomp and ceremony with
which the end of the voyage is cele-
brated on the last night out.
1T seems, she says, '"that it is always
customary, on the German line, at least,
and probably on all, to have an cspe-
cially elaborate dinner just before ar
irving in Southampton, which is called
the captains dinner. Every one is
supposed to order wine and drink to
the health of the captain, while he re-
spends, toasting the health and safe
Journeyings of his passengers. When
we came to the table we found it deco
rated with most elaborate cakes four
stories nigh, with little American and
German flags stuck on all sides, and
little paper ornaments-truly German

of rice paper with Light inside, and
around this sat small JapapcGe figures
made of ice cream, each holding in his

THE LIABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS.
Defined by the Supreme Court in a
Fresno Case.
They Must Pay Their Proportion of
Taxes-Reasons for a Change
of Venue.

The Supreme Court has rendered a
decision in the case of Charles Richter.
respondent, against A Henningsen and
others, appellants.
The action was to enforce contribu-
ton by defendants as stockholders in
the FruitvaIe Wine and Fruit Com
pany, on account of money paid by the
assignor of plaintiff upon a judgment
against the stockholders in the COM
pany and in favor of the United States
for 1927 40 due the United States as
a balance on a tax of ninety cents a
gallon upon the distillation of 1886
gallons of brandy and spirits by it.
The First National Bank of Fresno,
a stockholder in the corporation, paid
the judgment and assigned the claim
to plaintiff, who had judgment in the
court below against several of the de-
PENDANTS. L. A. Blasingame, against
whom there was a judgment for S213,
appealed.
The court quotes the language Of the
Revised United States Statutes, which
declare that every person in any man
ner interested in the use of any still,
distillery or distillery apparatus shall
be jointly and severally liable for the
taxes imposed by law on the distilled
spirits produced therefrom." 1t there
fore holds that the stockholders are
liable and affirms the decision of the
court below.
The case of w. C. White and others
against Moses Adler, appellant, has also
been decided, a Yolo County case.
1t was upon a contract under which
the plaintiffs conveyed to Adler eighty
acres of land to which the title was
defective agreeing to make it good
within year, on payment of s., 200 and
if the title was not cleared within that
time Adler was to reconvey the land to
plaintiffs.
They claim that they did so clear the
title within the specified time, but that
Adler has refused to say whether or
not the title is satisfactory, to pay over
the money or to reconvey the land.
He demanded a change of venue to San
Francisco, claiming it as his residence,
and the court below denieu the motion,
and he appealed.
The court says that as a real estate
matter is united with a personal mat
ter and it is evident that the primary
subject of the action is to recover 50, 200
rather than the land, it comes under
the head of cases in which the defend
ant is entitled to a change of venue.
The order appealed from is therefore
reversed and the court below directed
TO make an order changing the place
of trial from Yolo County to San Fran
cisco.

Organizations, Officers and Men Offer
Their Services to the State.
The Governor and Adjutant-General
are in almost daily receipt of kilograms
and letters from parties throughout the
State offering their services in case Of
war with England and the sentiment
seems from the tone of the letters to be
intense.
Union Camp Fire, No. l, of the Blue
and Gray, at Los Angeles, sends com
munication making a tender of full
company of mounted veterans in case
Of war with England or any other ma
tion. AS the company is about $50
strong, and the members have all
smelled powder on many field, the Of
fer is not to be despised in case they are
needed.
But far beyond that fact is the signi-
f1cance Of the sentiment of common
patriotism that has brought these
whilom foes together in amity and
makes them a unit as Americans, band
ed together to repel the enemies of their
country.
Adjutant General Barrett has letters
from two ex-officers of the regular army
W. L. Williams of San Jose, a retired
Lieutenant, and Colonel Rozas, who
writes from Stockton that he believes
that the time is fast approaching when
every American citizen should let his
Government know that he is ready to
stand by its flag through thick and thin
and defend it against its enemies. He
says that eight years experience on the
battle fields of Europe and Africa have
qualified him to do his part, and he
tenders his services in case of a war
with England or any other foreign ma
tion that wishes to fight US.
Colonel Henshaw, Major Stewart
Captain Ackerman and others have Of
fered their services, and volunteers in
the southern part Of the State are num-
erous.
