Doctor Herman of the University
OF Kiel has been feeling the wrists of
the members of bicycle club, imme-
, diately after they had pushed their
wheels up a moderate ascent. In every
case the pulse was beating at the rate
of one hundred and fifty to one hun
dred and sixty strokes a minute, and
in one man OF stouter build it mounted
to one hundred and eighty. As seven
ty-eight is the normal average, it ap-
pears that this kind of exertion may
quite double the activity of the heart.
The doctor had previously observed
this effect on himself, after wheeling
up the same hill, and he gives warning
that the like result may follow a rid
too long continued or over lumpy
road. He also advises the cycler not
to smoke when riding, and to keep his
mouth shut, so as to breathe only
through the nose.

MAY SEEK A DELAY.
Unless Adams laquest Is Finished Tuesday.
Coroners Will Ask Adjournment.

New York Feb. 26-If the inquest into
the death of Mrs. Kate j. Adams is not
completed by Tuesday night Coroner
Bausch will demand that further hearing
be adjourned until he can dispose Of some
outstanding cases. The Adams inlue3.
has occupied the coroners court for the
last two weeks and a consequence all
the coroners are far behind in their work.
Coroner Hart had a conference. TODAY.
with Coroner Bausch, anu promised to
order the adjournment.
Coroner Pausch gave as reasons for his
demands that there is no prisoner in the
Adams case and that therefore the inter-
ests of Justice could not suffer by few
days delay. while in several of the cases
on the coroners calendar there are pris-
oners on bail and in confinement He says
that justice demands that the evidence
against those prisoners should be heard
and determined without further delay.
Coroner Hart said. today. that Assistant
District Attorney Orsborne told him he
expected to finish the Adams case before
the end of the ensuing week. Cornish is
TO have another session on the stand,

dent in the coroners court, Mr. Osborne
will make a general summing up to the

Law Court Sets Verdict Aside in Angie Gun

The following rescri"t has been re.
ceived in the Sagadahoc county case of
Angie Cunningham. admx., VS.. Bath Iron
Works Rescript by Whitehouse. j.:
1t was the unquestioned duty of the de-
fendant to exercise ordinary care and
foresight 20 provide safe machinery and
a reasonably safe place in and about
which the "helpers'' and other laborers
were required to work: but the fulfillmeIi.
of this duty must be tested by the ex-
perience of employees who are themselves
in the exercise Of due care and vigilance.
and not with reference to those wro are
themselves negligent or venturesOme, or
the unfortunate victims Of simple and un-
accountable accidents. Absolute safety
is not guaranteed to the laborer by the
contract of employment.
THE cog wheels and their gearing in
connection with which the injury was re-
ceiyed. were Of the usual and familiar
type There was nothing peculiarly dan
gerous about them. All the laborers in
the shop were constantly reminded by
both sight and hearing Of the power as
well as of the existence of these wheels.
The helpers were not required to crera te
the angle iron shears, or to perform any
duty within three feet Of the wheels on
the inward rolling side. Under these cir
cllmstances the failure of the defendant
to have these wheels covered and .suari-
ed by a hood, cannot be deemed ney.i-
