LOVELY WOMAN ON A WHEEL.
Central school Training school Pre-
nenfs a PHYchnlnCia.al ~fudY.


Passengers on the Madison street rail-
way often glance out at the pretty peb-
blsd lawn OF the Central school building TO
watch the graceful eyolatIons and the not
SO graceful tumbles OF the fair female
cyclists who are taking their first lessons.
pTiori. there is no reason why a woman
should not learn cycling easily and
quickly. for the proverbia. qualities Of the
feminine temperament and physique are
Just such as would make her an apt pupil.
But experience shows otherwise. Whether
Il be her timidity. or the entire novelty OF
the position required. has not been deter
mined. AT any rate the struggle that has
been taking place day by day on the Cen
trial school grounds is a severe one. In
each case the phases through which the

for the first few lessons. but usually the

II Is a study in feminine psychology to

Although Mr.. Wilson courteously ex-
pressed his inability 10 disclose AT present
what he would report. Senator Watson c.
Squire said he felt the fullest confidence
that Moran Bros. would be awarded the

The unaccepted tide land plat has an i'm
portaat bearing on the work of building

TRACKS 10 BE STRENGTHENED
Probable Result of Chief Engineer Nc
HenrX's VISIT To- Ihis CITY.

MY visit to Seattle at this time has
direct bearing on the new franchise and
the crossings agreement" said Chief En-
gneer Edward II. McHenry. in his pri-
vate car yesterday afternoon. In my
opinion the matter can easily be straight
ened out. and / think the agreement Will
be signed before many days"
one of Mr.. McHenry's earliest visitors
was Andrew +. Burleigh. counsel fer the
Oregon Improvement Company, and the
two considered for time the question
to be passed upon. 1t is probable that
tomorrow Mr.. McHenry Will hold con-
ference with C. j. Smith general mana
ger of the Oregon Improvement Company,
relative 10 the agreement by the roads
having trackage on Railroad avenue.
There appears TO be no doubt That the
agreement will De signed by Mr. McHenry
and the franchises accepted by all the
roads. When those steps shall have been
taken the way will be cleared for the Great
Northern to begin work on the excavation
for car shops at Interplay. and for the
filling OF the depot site south of Yesler

the erection Of a switch tower and a com

Scarlet fever has again broken out in
the South and Rainier schools, and yes
terday three new cases were reported 10
Health Officer Palmer. There are two
cases from the South school, Geraldine
Ermann, OF l42& Main street, and Nellie
Yerberry, 1924 Washington street. The
other case is that of L. u. Johnston,
pupil of the Rainier school. living at I'll
McClaire street.
IL will be remembered that the South
and Rainier schools are the ones that
were closed by the health department last
spring few weeks before the end Of the
school term because of the prValance of
scarlet fever, ana the breaking out or
three cases in one day seems 10 point 10
the conclusion that the schools may have
to be closed again. Health officer Palmer
said last night that he would recommend
the board of health 10 order the schools
closed If the increase in the number of
eases should DE very rapid and should
warrant 1t, although nothing would be
done at present.
There have been only four cases OF scar

month of September until these cases
were reported. and the fact that they are
