NOT so BAD.
Little Damage Done by Storm-Risc in River
Stops Work on Dam.

| The river rose about Is inches, Thurs
! day night and Friday, on account of the
rains aud thaw, not enough. however.
to create any serious damage The Ed.
wards Manufacturing Company's mills
were handicapped to some extent by the
| back water, but not seriously SO. The
turn in the weather, and clearing away
suifced to calm the fears which had been
aroused regarding another flood
The 40 men who had been at work on
| the east end of the dam, repairing the
damage done by the recent flood. were
compelled to quit work, on account of the
rise in the water, it being sufficient to
flow ovec the temporary flush boards
which had been put in for the purpose of
allowing the men to work
The damage to the dam has been found
to be much more than was at first an
ticipated, the apron having been badly
torn out, and, it is thought. that the
repairs will cost $4,000 or $4,000, at least
In many cases the stones of the dam
have been carried away but nothing
serious will result from this, unless flood
of extraordinary violence should come.
There is feeling of relief on the part of
those who feared the results of freshet
on account of the jam down the river, as
it is hoped that no moro storms will come
until there has been some channel made
below
The little rise will, It is thought, be
enough to carry away some of the jam
and thereby make it all the easier for the
workers of the dynamite
About the city the walking was some
thing to be remembered In many of the
level places, it was necessary to make
,letours, and every other Kind Of tours to
get along and crossing streets was es
pecially precarious The chief trouble
was where the snow was firm for the most
part but in spots just soft enough to Ii {
foot through into the water beneath.
The cold in the afternoon froze every
thing hard, and the walking improved.
Below the dam there was a rise OF .
feet during the day, the rate increasing
during the first of the afternoon.
The ice opposite the city started its
course for down the river at 220 p NJ
1t was silent move on the part of the
ice, decidedly lamb like In comparison
with the previous flood.
1t moved very slowly at first, but as soon
as the field had become detached from the
shores, it quietly passed of with the cur
rent and in a short time the entire width
of the river was clear with the exception
of what ice came down over the dam.
The cold which came during the after
noon did much to stop any influx Of
streams into the river, and no further rise
is anticipated.
At 9 A. NJ. the water had risen during
the day 20 inches on the dam, according
to the measurements at the Edwards
Mills, giving total depth of 3 Z feet on
the dam.
No apprehensions are felt ny the com
pany over the outlook

There is not cycle rider of any age
in whom the heart is not influenced so
as to do more work, and although in
skilled cyclists and trained cyclists a
certain balance is set up which equal
ICES the motion such riders are not ex
empt from danger. l have known the
beats of the heart to rise from 80 to 200
in the minute, i'll the first exercise of
riding, an increase which, for the time,
more than doubles the amount of work
done-a very serious fact when we re-
member that the extreme natural mo-
tion of the heart allows it to perform a
task equal to raising not less than 122
foot tons in the course of "a hours-that
is to say, over foot tons an hour.
In the young we may apply the same
argument to the heart as we have done
to the skeleton The heart is undergo
ing it's development, and it is an organ
which cannot without danger be whipped
beyond its natural pace. What occurs
with it under such circumstances is that
it grows larger than it ought to grow
that it works out of harmony with the
rest of the body and is then most easily
agitated by influences and impressions
acting upon it through the mind. have
many times seen this truth illustrated
too plainly, and doubt whether in the
young, after extreme exercise, such as
that which arises from prolonged race,
the heart ever comes down to its natural
beat for a period of less than three days
devoted to repose. Sir Benjamin Ward
