EXCITEMENT ON KING STREET
About five O'clock yesterday evening
John UnderU God, a vender of coal Gil,
while under the Influence of liquor ell
tered Snetou's barber shop, on King
street, and became very disorderly. He
was emphatic in his denunciations OF
rebels and DO one seeming to be dis
posed to take up the insult, ne began q
TRADE on natives of the Emerald Isle
and finally switched of upon Israelites
when he saw ex-Mayor Strauss was
present. The latter became justly in,
censed, upon realizing he was the OBJ
iect of his abuse, and he told Under
wood he would call an officer and have
him locked up. This seemed to anger
Underwood considerably, and he rush
ed at Mr.. Strauss in q menacing man
ner, when the latter (who, by the way,
took sparring lessons in his younger
days) landed blow on his assallant's
face. The latter recovered and struck
his antagonist in the breast, but before
the trouble reached serious stage
officer Atkinson rushed in and took
charge of Underwood. The officer had
considerable trouble with his prisoner,
as he "bucked" all the way 10 the sta
ton, saying he did not intend any rebel
should arrest him. At the corner of
King and Fairfax streets he because
obstreperous and refused to go any
further and was knocked over cellar
door. The officer then picked him up
and had no further trouble getting him
to the lookup. Underwood became
very abusive when placed in cell and
made divers threats. This morning he
was brought before Justice Sinclair who
fined him S27 and compelled him TO
give security to keep the peace. I'm
derwood refused to make statement,
saying he remembered none of his ad-
ventures Yesterday evening.

seven and one-half feet, or fifteen feet
for one entire revolution of the pedal
shaft, and this with less exertion than
is required to take two steps. In fact,
It would be easier for the bicyclist to
make the fifteen feet on a level with
one pressure of one foot than to take
two steps.
Now, in view of these magnified steps
made by the rider, it would be inter-
esting to know what the stature of a
man must be to make in walking the
same distance made by the cyclist with
the same number of movements of the
feet. Clearly, the steps, in this case,
must be seven and one-half feet each,
which, at the lowest estimate, repre-
sents three steps of an ordinary man.
1t would, perhaps, be nearer the mark
to say four steps, but to be on the safe
side, the Scientific American calls it
three, and has made an illustration
showing the comparative size of a
wheelman and a pedestrian built to
keep step with him. The pedestrian
must at least be eighteen feet high.
The man with this great stature would,
after all, fall far short of making the
speed of the bicycle. There is moth
ing like rotary motion, the wheel
would be the winner in any race.
While the bicycle has the advantage
over the extremely tall pedestrian, it
is obvious the tall wheelman has no
advantage over the short one.
