Mora is untrue.
A certain nervous tension and un-
easy restlessness, especially during
the evenings, is noticeable in the Vi
cinity of Central park, where the men
congregate and talk politics. The po-

assemble, and are dispensing them.

that the police are interfering with
their rights and freedom.

Another Gomez manifestation has
been arranged for, and it is said that
the Cuban officers will organize a

some people declare such conflict
can not be averted.

noticeable.

EDUCATING MUSCLES.
A New Theory Propounded In Regard to
Them.

A New Theory Propounded In Regard to
Them.
And now comes a Russian professor
with book Of his own making, In which
IL is shown that muscular exercise does
not develop muscular strength where there
was none before. In short, Professor
Alexis Horvath completely upsets the tho
DRY that the absolute strength Of muscles
may be largely increased by exercise taken
for that purpose, says the Washington
Post
He contends that muscles are gift of
nature and that no amount of exercise can
convert a congenital weakling into an ath-
lcte, and strong man may preserve con-
siderable strength for many a long year
even In the face of absolute physical exer-
ton. The principal difference between IA
man who exercises his muscles and one
who does not lies in the greater endurance
OF the former. A regular course of gym
nastics does, during the first weeks, in
crease the muscle power by a little, but
the improvement soon ceases, and the size
of the muscles changes very little.
The beneficial effect of gymnastics and
of work shows itself principally in the
greater staying power Of the muscles.
The best means, Horyath thinks, for per
fccting the muscles and giving them the
power to resist fatigue are oft repeated
rhythmical contractions. He gives as a
corroborative example of this theory the
human heart, which, although it goes
through these contractions consecutively
during q whole lifetime, never tires or
ceases its functions for minute.
