TO WALK CORRECTLY.

To walk we'll is an art that should
Ice learned by every woman when she
ls young. and then as she grows older
she Will walk gracefully as n matter
OF course and there will be no effort
at all IN the way that she does Il.
For though woman can learn To walk
perfectly gracefully when she IL old
cr there N never the unconscious
grace Of motion that there is n she Is
taught how 10 walk aH child The
training Of child IN walking correctly
should begin al lts very earliest years.
As soon as II Is old enough TO be-
taught To- walk Il should be- taught
how to do u correctly. Very many
children are really never taught to
walk at ALL They are put ON their
feet by their nurses and allowed TO run
about anyhow, and little faults that
may grow into large ones. go utterly
unchecked. All children should be
taught 10 dance when they are between
. and G.; this will make them walk
better and hold themselves bcttcr than
anything else.
When you walk you should put the
foot frmly and yet lightly on the
ground. Never walk as though your
feet we're Of lead and yet do not mlnco
and go along as II you were overcome
with affectatlon; either extreme IL
very bad style. You should hold your
body erect and your head mp and tho
shoulders well back In this way yon

your health and avoid any kind OF

walking Is 10 exercise the muscles.
quicken the breathing. improve tho
digestion and keep the body In per-
feet health IT, however the Hhoul-
dors and head are bent forward the
good effect IS entirely lost sight OF and
there will be no good whatever come
from your walk.
For a walk TO do good. you should. n
possible. always have q companion
with you, as when you are talking the
blood clrculates more freely In tho
brain and the benefit that you derive
from the open air ls very greatly In
creased. And also tho walk should
be bona fldo one. not merely an
idle sumter up and down road with
no special object In view. And al-
ways have before you the wish to ap-
pear at your best as you walk, not
merely 20 try 10 get over the ground
as quickly as possible In any kind n
a way. Women who scurry along like
| rabbits or hens lose an idea of a
graceful carriage and look moro abb
surd than anything else.

Line to Honolulu Said to Be I'm

Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
New York, Oct. 21.-A special to
the Post from Washington says:
While at Honolulu the American
Commissioners appointed to arrange
the details of annexation made some
Inquiry as to the cost and practic
ability OF a cable connecting thu
islands with the United States.
They bring a rather gloomy report,
saying there is an almost fatal
obstacle in the way Of such a cable.
Soundings have been taken show
ing depth OF more than six MILES
10 the Pacific Ocean, along the track
Of the Kuro Siwo or Japanese cur
rent, which corresponds to the gulf
stream in the Atlantic Ocean, but is
much wider. From edge to edge
they say it is hundreds Of miles in
wild b and between the United
States and Hawaii it appears either
to have cut channel to an enormous
depth or else to have sought a
natural abyss in the earth's crust
through which to flow. They say
that cable layers fear lest it may be
impossible to anchor cables across
this vast water-swept space because
the force of the current may part
the metal. Gables have been sue
cesfully laid in water as deep as this
in the Indian Ocean, but there was
nothing corresponding to the Japa.
nese current to contend with.
Military electricians OF high stand
ing aud acquainted with all the de-
tails OF cable laying do not agree
with this report. They assert that
no particular difficulty is likely to
be experienced in laying cable be-
tween California and Hawaii, but
that very serious difficulty might be
found in extending the line from
Hawaii to Hougkoug. AS to anchor
ing" the cable, they say that nothing
is doue in that line beyond weight
ing with heavy armor, which is ex-
pected to carry it to the bottom,
where it will lie in place OF itself.
Allowance is made for inequalities
Of the oceans floor by making the
cable about 20 per cent longer than
the route it follows az measured on
the surface. This margin for slack
is the result of averaging experiences
with various submarine cables.
