ALMOST A MILE A MINUTE.
All Cycle Records Broken by NJ. o.
Dennis at Denver.

remarkable mile was made by Melvin o.
Dennis, in Denver last Monday. He rode a
mile with sixty-mile an hour wind at his
back. in 1:11ss 1t is easy to conceive how an
easy-running machine could have been
blown over the ground at that rate, but
when ii is considered that man was on the
wheel and had to keep pace with the pedals
in the movements of his feet. and the de-
struction OF the whole machine and the loss
of the mans life were contingent upon his
steady nerve and quick action. the perform
ance becomes marvellous. The wind was so
strong and the dust so great that the rider
could not see more than ten or fifteen feet
ahead at any time. When he stopped his
wheel he could not speak and his face and
throat were so badly cut by flying pebbles
that he was covered with blood and in great
agony. The course was on East Sixth ave-
nue.. Carl Goodyer, of tandem fame. and
three others timed Dennis, two being at
each end of the course. He rode Crescent
wheel. geared to 107 2-3 inches. fitted with
Morgan & Wright tires.
Dennis Is twenty-three years OF age. He
has never made name as racing man
and has had no training in that line. He is
butcher. Another man. named Burrows

by simply attaching a small metal weight
to the belt where ne had been accustomed
to holding his hand This was done after
two or three rounds of the hall. Then the
instructor ran along behind her as close as
though he was holding to her. She made
nearly a dozen rounds Of the hall in this
way, when he told her he would let her try
it alone She Immediately fell to the floor.
He then tod her of his scheme, but she
would scarcely believe it until the story was
corroborated by her friends, who had been
amused witnesses during the proceeding.
After that riding was little trouble to her.
CHILDREN LEARN READILY.
The most apt pupils to be found the
boys and girls from nine or ten years Of age
up to twenty. They begin with the conf
dence of youth which inspires success, and
it is seldom, except in the case of some of
tie more nervous Of the girls. that more
than two or three lessons are necessary, and
often the young pupil is graduate at the
end of single hours work.
When woman has learned enough so she
can be trusted to make a few rounds of the
hall alone she finds peculiar difficulty con-
fronting her. She knows how to mount and
propel her wheel, but she mas not yet be-
come familiar with the art of stopping it and
dismounting. She fnds that the faster the
wheel goes, the less the power necessary to
prope it, but she does not really recognize
that it requires less power. and so she con-
tinues to exert as much force on the pedals
as when she was going at a slower speed.
The result is she continues to go faster and
faster. Not having learned anything about
black pedaling," she is III quandary Some
times she actually runs away from the in
structor. Then she becomes frightened when
she finds that she is rum
away and beyond her own control.
She gets alarmed. but there is dam
ger, for one of the instructors will simply
mount a wheel and go after her. moving
gradually up to her side and taking hold Of
the belt around her waist or catching the
handle bar and then slowly bring her to a
standstill Such an experience needs to be
had but once to fully appreciate the gravity
of the situation. but after it is all over the
rider wonders at he, lack of thought in not
knowing how to stop. This is often true Of
the men. too.

siesg | anu a teacher. and like most OF
my fellow teachers, feel a deep interest
In tho election OF u county superintend-
cnt The interest Is not u personal one,
but professional. arising only from a de-
sire to advance by all possible means

OF Clatsop county, and what | have 10
say Is not determined by party lines or
prcjudlces

science will let me and Il is with regret
that | offer word In favor OF man
who Is a candidate on another ticket than
my own. But ! am devoted TO the good
OF our schools first and to party atiilia-
tions afterwards. so Il becomes my duty
to call the attention OF my fellow Re-
publcans TO the candidates for county
superintendent, There seems to be an
Indifference on the part OF the voters OF
the county In regard TO the merits OF the
two candidates for this ofiice-an indli-
ference which should not exist when
there is so much involved in the election,
OF direct importance to our schools.
Supt. Lyman has been called the first
county superintendent we ever had for
he was the first who ever took the inter-
est In the school work which is TO be ex-
pected OF one holding that office. He
has done much more than Is required by
law In the matter OF visiting schools
throughout the county and has made the
Teachers Institutes success in their in
tended province OF assisting ana inspiring
the teachers In their work. He has been
the leader in founding Il summer school
at Gearhart Park, and has arranged
many an interesting and instructive lec-
ture by oregon's most talented educa-
tors.

winter visiting the schools OF Eugene,

that he might DO the better able to ad-
