Standing still on a Wheel.

1t is possible to stand still on BIZ
cycle and to keep that position for
half an hour or any length of time
that the performer desires, but the
two wheels are not kept in the same
plane. One is turned to the other at
an angle of As degrees or so. The
balancing is done by pressure on the
pedals. 1t is called standing still,
though, of course, the position is not
one of absolute rigidity, but rather of
unstable equilibrium. The cranks are
brought so that they are in the same
horizontal plane. Then pressure on
one will tend to send the wheel in a
forward circle and on the other in a
backward circle.

surroundings, concluded he would re-

the coroner now says his death was
due to obesity pills.

BAsING their calculations on recent
elections in the New England States,
the Democratic Congressional Com
mittee figures that twenty-five MEM
bers of Congress will be gained in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois alone. In
The opinion of the committee the out
come of the election of Congressman,
will be about as follows: Democrats,
1877; Republicans, 100; fusion, 26;
doubtful, 80. The full membership
of the house is $751; Should the Re
publicans capture all the doubtful dis
tricts they would still have only 161
votes, or eighteen less than major
ity. In this forecast it is asserted
that Democratic possibilities have
been underestimated, the committee
preferring to rely upon reasonable
compilation rather than trust to spec
ulation.

The action Of the Board Of Aldermen IN
postponing action on tho widening OF Charlie 8
street was very generally condemned In this
section Of the city this morning, and some
property owners were wild enough in their
remarks to intimate that there would never
be building moved on Charles street unless
by reason of old age IL fell apart or an earth
quake was good enough TO come along and
dump some of the old dilapidated eye sores
on to she middle OF the road, and that even
then tho debris would probably remain In
the roadbed until the property OF some down
town man was on fire and the stuu had to be
got out of the way to let the fire apparatus
pass. Come local property owners who fixed
Klondilse prices for their estates also come In
for their share Of the pleasantries that are so
generously strewn around.

DESTRUCTION IN WISCONSIN.

Chicago, May 20.--Forty-two persons
are known to have lost their lives. and
rs others are reported dead as the result
of the tornadoes which devastated por-
tions of eastern Iowa. western Illinois
and northern Wisconsin. Iowa leads in
the list with 19 fatalities. Fourteen
deaths are reported in Illinois. Wis
consin reports nine known dead, with
unconfirmed stories bringing the total
in that state up to 81.
The storm in Iowa started near STAN
wood and swept through the northeast
ern part of Cedar county, the southeast
ern part Of Jones county. the northern
part of Clinton county, and touched the
southern part of Jackson county. Nine
teen persons lost their lives and more
than twice as many were injured. The
property loss will probably reach half a
million dollars. In many places not a
building was left standing. Cattle,
horses and hogs were killed by the hun
dreds. In numerous instances farmers
lost everything.
The Iowa storm crossed the Mississippi
river into Illinois near Savannah. Con-
siderable damage was done on the Illi-
nois side before the storm spent it's
force. The second tornado In Illinois
started near Stillman valley and swept
northward. wrecking farmhouses and
killing as it went. The greatest loss of
life was at the point of origin, where
four were killed. At Lanark, the storm
ended its career by wrecking the county
almshouse and killing three inmates.
Three others were fatally injured. over
30 persons were in the building, and all
OF them were injured.
In Wisconsin the storm was more vio-
lent than anywhere else but 1t origi-
mated In the numbering districts of the
northern counties. swept along the line
OF the 500" road and spent its force In
the pines. Nine people are known to
have been killed. There are vague re-
ports to the effect that Is bodies of lum-
bermen from a camp near Heafford
Junction are lying in the railway station
at that place. 1t is stated, too, that 10
lumbermen were killed near Elmshurst.
The property damaged In Wisconsin,
while quite heavy, will doubtless fall
much below that done in the fertile farm
Ing districts along the Mississippi In
Iowa and Illinois.
