The schools are out for the year
and our young people who have been
away engaged in teaching have re-
turned home. If we have omitted
the names Of any in our mention of
returning teachers it was not in
territorial, but from lack of infor-
nation.

Every person owning a bicycle
should learn its mechanism. BY TAX
ing the machine apart and examin
ing its construction you will see that
it is very simple affair, and by a little
investigation and care you can readily
learn to adjust all its parts to perfec-
tion and keep your wheel in shape for
the safest and easiest locomotion. In
this way you will be enabled TO get
the most comfort in riding. With a
few simple tools you can do all the or
binary repairing resulting from mis-
haps. For most Of the work the tools
and "repair kit" that come with the
machine will enable one to do the re-
pairing that generally befalls the bike.
If any part of your machine gets out
of ''whack," especially if this occurs.
as it is most liable to, when you are
out on the road, and you have the
means and judgment TO fix it you will
save yourself a great deal Of trouble.
A few pieces of soft rubber and a lit
tie rubber cement will fit you to re-
pair tire puncture. If the tire is a
double tube puncture is a little more
difficult to manage but you can do 1t
just as well as an expert" 1t will
be best to take off the wheel, remove
the tire from the rim, carefully take
out the inner tire when Debated, in
fate and submerge the tire in water
to locate the puncture, put on your
patch and after making sure that the
tube is alright by replacing it under
water replace it in the casing. In
this case you will need some tire GEM
ent TO fasten the tire TO the rim. If
you bend a crank, take it off and
straighten it--on rock, stump, on
the railway track. If you have a
crook in the frame even you can usu-
