sTRATHGYLE IS RELEASED.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 25.-Acting
under instructions from the quarter
master general, Major Ruhlen yester-
day released the chartered transport
Strathgyle, which was to have taken a
cargo of 5000 tons of grain and hay to
the Philippines. The reason for the re-
lease of the ship lies in the fact that
there is no immediate demand for fora
ge in the Philippines.
In all probability one of the steamers
owned by the China Mutual Steamship
Company will be chartered by the goV-
eminent to take the hay and grain
now stored in this city and Tacoma to
Manila. Frank Waterhouse, general
agent for the company is now in Wash
ton.
The Yang Tsze will not be chartered
to the government, it is stated on good
authority, as she is now loading grain
on the Sound for Great Britain.

A sUPERFLUOUs QUESTION.

Here is one of the most shameful
features of the Leavenworth tragedy:
Fully one-third of the crowd that wit
messed the burning were women, and
there We're hundreds of school children
in it. School was dismissed just as
the fights with mobs in the city began.
There We're few hundred negroes in
the crowd and the younger ones among
them joked and acted as did the whites
during the half hour it required to tie
Alexander to the stake.
To ask whether the influence of the
lynching was good or evil is superflu-

NEW TUG FOR KAHULuI.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 31.-One
of the first, if not the first tug to be
taken to the Island of Maui, is now
lying at the foot of Mission street
nearly ready to leave for the port of
Kahului. The boat was specially de-
signed and constructed by E. w. Tuck
er for Alexander & Baldwin, which
firm will send their new boat down on
the next trip of the Metha Nelson. The
tug is fifty-seven feet in length, with
powerfully built engines, and will take
the place of a small steamer now being
used as a towboat at that port.

Physical education, which aids in the
development of the being by means
of methodically arranged lessons in
physical culture, whose primary OBJ
ject is to promote health, improve the
physique and train the will power,
through regular practice in the control
of the muscles, is finding more and
more general recognition.
Physical exercise, in short, gymnas-
tics, may be considered from different
points Of view. The object to be at
tanned Is not always the same.
Exercises are arranged with refer
ence to their special physiological eff
fects.
The execution of desirable move
ments enables one TO improve certain
conditions and to counteract the de-
forming and degeneraring influence of
habitual positions; but it must be
borne in mind that the results of in
telligent direction can only be attained
by oft repeated and long continued
effort. Normal conditions are the re-
suit of regular, not spasmodic actions.
1t is customary, where deviation
from normal muscular strength is
apparent, to take to drugs. The other
way would be to discard medicines
at times and take natural exercise. Ii
a physician, who has been a gymnast,
Tor one who has had some experience
in gymnasium work. can prescribe
such, a physician is the one to ad-
dress. Otherwise competent physical
director might be consulted.
A careful selection of movements
and exercises, suitable to the individual
needs, naturally involves = knowledge
Of the muscular organism, and its
action with reference to its influence
upon the vital organs.
The value of the exercise is judged
by the perceptible results in the i'll
dividual, as improvement in proper
functioning and general condition, ms
well rs in carriage, bearing, growth
and development, also by the increased
activities and capacities for work, en-
durance, coordination, presence of
mind and improved disposition. Regu'
lar exercise increases the power of as
similation, builds new tissues and
helps the system readily eliminate
waste materials.
In working muscle the vessels
are widened, the blood has freel
course, the intra- muscular respiration
becomes more active, and the inter
change of material becomes quicker
The consumption of oxygen and the
formation of carbonic acid are alsc
augmented. simultaneously, muscular
irritsbility is diminished, and tn.
muscle gradually becomes fatigued
is spite of the enhanced supply o.
blood, which cannot long compensat,
the opposing factors, This is princi
pally due to the accumulation of tn,
so-called fatigue products, (carboniC

Something About the Work
They Are Carrying On.

Further, passive movements promote
the free play Of tendons and muscles
in sheaths; prevent or remove the
growing together of the same. Never
theless, the power of these movements
to stretch tissues in tolerably limited,
more powerful means for this purpose
are to be had in various orthopaedic
procedures. kneading and rubbing
(massage) are to be classed as passive
movements.
Orthopaedics are properly the treat
ment Of bodily deformities. Since this
form Of treatment is for the most part
carried into effect by means of
mechanical devices and apparatus Of
various sorts, the word orthopaedics,
has come to denote the mechanical
treatment Of such conditions.
All forms of orthopaedia apparatus
have a common aim, in that they are
intended to restore those parts which
have suffered changes Of form to their
normal condition, or to prevent the
further development Of deformity, by
means Of stretching, pressure, or sup
port, and sometimes through fixation,
or through the limitation of move
ments,
OBESITY.
Physical exercise alone as an agent
for the reduction of fat has been a
very unsatisfactory procedure, be-
cause 7-S Of the fat individuals are too
lazy to exert themselves, which is
largely due to the corpulency and
| helplessness, causing inactivity and
| favoring the further accumulation of
fat. Very few will submit to thor,
| ough course of physical exercise. Good
| results have been reported recently,
where the administration of certain
drugs is in conjunction with exercise,
gymnastic work, mountain climbing,
swimming or bicycling and all out
door athletic games TO promote orida-
ton. Massage, the Turkish and steam
| bath are also recommended to be help
full. While the amount of fat is being
decreased by the exercise the muscu-
lar tissue and power of the muscles
increase.
POSSIBILITY OF OVERTRAINING.
Under the supervision of a compe-
tent physical director, and especially Sc
where there is medical advisor con.
nected with the organization or college
overtraining seldom occurs. The in.
dividuals : rccted usually practise
according IL own ideas, or are
misguided by an incompetent director
or they allow their enthusiasm and
anxiety for medal, or whatever
prize may be the reward, to predolni
nate, no matter what may result later
A thorough physical examination
should be the guide in all contests
where great physical strength and
endurance is demanded. This to oc
cur before and after thorough
course of training in order to decide
whether or no he is entitled to enter
a contest. Especially so in long dis
tance running bicycle races and
heavy dumb bell lifting.

TIME OF THE DAY FOR EXER-
Some authors are of the opinion
that the exercises should always be
taken about one half to one hour be-
fore meal time. Others advocate for
the student, professional and the bus
mess man the best time for daily ex-
ercise is a half hour before meal at
noon, and between the hours of four
and six pm. It is so considered, for
the reason, that the organs of digestion
have performed their function and
the system is supplied with a fresh
amount of nutrition. Then, too, the
time is convenient for the above in
dividuals. However, any hour during
the day time and evening can be Sc
lected for exercise after a sufficient
time has been allowed for digestion
Of the meal previously taken.
Before breakfast few exercises to
increase the breathing capacity in a
well ventilated room or out of doors
will suffice at this early hour.
How soon after meals can exercise
be INDUCED in? is a question frequent
| ly asked. Wllnln an nour arter meals
one can begin exercise without any
great interference to digestion; If the
work is not too violent, digestion 10
favorahly assisted
How long during life ought one ex-
ercise? Exercise ought to begin at
the age of six or seven years, and be
continued at regular intervals at least
If continued throughout life such in
dividuals are better fitted to perform
their daily vocation and retain more

youthful appearance, better disposition
and activity at an advanced age as
compared with one who does not ex-
ercise at all. Then, too, the system
is more able to resist disease
HOW TO EXERCISE.
In order to realize the best results
from physical exercise, enter with
earnestness and enthusiasm into
whatever is undertaken. Anything
done at halves, the results are accord
ingly.
Choose a place for exercise, where
plenty OF light and fresh air can be
had; but no draughts. Gradually in
crease the time and amount of ex
ercise, but do not continue it to ex-
haustion. Do not keep the muscles
ON the stretch. Relaxation should
follow contraction, or in other words.
rest should follow exercise.
In the gymnasium under the super
vision of competent physical direc-
tor, the lessons Tor drillsl are arranged
for a floor drill, followed by appara.

still further oxidized, heat-produc
ton is increased and the temperature
of the blood within the muscle and in
the circulation outside Of it rises. The
nutrition of the muscle itself is favor
ably affected by exercise; just as q
prolonged period of inactivity pro-
duces an atrophy, exercise will restore
muscle to its normal volume or even
cause functional hypertrophy.
Gymnastics are of importance, how
ever, in still other directions. Just as
we have good reason for assuming a
nourishing influence upon the muscles
from their corresponding nerve cen
ters, so may we assume that there is
a reciprocal influence exerted upon
the same nervecenters by the mus
cles and that the nutrition of the
former depend largely upon that of
the latter.--------.----------- .---,.
INFLUENCE UPON TIE cIRcULA-
TIoN.
Since a working muscle takes sup
more blood than a resting muscle, and
since the muscles represent a very
considerable part, as per cent of
the total volume of the body, the power
Of gymnastics to compensate certain
anomalies of the circulation and to
detiect the blood from congested in
ternal organs into the muscles, is
very evident.
Further, the influence upon the heart
whereby it increases the pulse rate
and force, thus strengthening the
heart muscle itself, belongs here.
Finally. it is generally known that
gymnastics quicken respiration, in
crease the radiation Of heat and secre-
ton of sweat as we'll as other secre-
tions, cause more vigorous movements
Of the intestines, improve sleep, help
the appetite and exert a favorable
influence upon the general bodily con
dition.
VARIETY OF MOVEMENTS.
In simple free movements the mus
cular activity is concentrated upon
certain parts or limbs Of the body.
The more complicated the movements
the more the muscular activity is dis.
tributed over the body.
PASSIVE MOVEMENTS.
(Or those movements executed by
force of another person, machine or
by gravity)
They are classed with gymnastics
chiefly on the ground that they afford
exercise to the joints and are very
important in the treatment of dis
eased conditions Of the same. BY
means of passive movements adhesive
or other organized products of infiam-
nation are stretched or torn apart,
shrunken articular capsules and liga-
mepts are stretched and portions of
synovial membrane which have grown
together from long continued contact
are separated again, causing a'quicker a
restoration Of lost functional power to
be brought about than otherwise posi-
BILE, and to prevent the changes
which result from a too protracted
rest such as excessive shrinking of
the soft parts, vascularization, connec-
tive tissue metamorphosis, and in
some cases. finally, the growing to-
gether and ossifctlon of cartIlages.

said of fencing with the foil and
sabre; in addition to the muscular de-
velopment the will power is also train

After exercise a sponge or shower
bath is necessary for various reasons.

relaxation. Exercise daily and at
regular intervals, if possible. 'Twen-

most desirable. Otherwise attend

instruction two or three times week
ly. Breathing exercises, out Of doors
preferably. four times daily. This can
be practiced while walking to and
from work to the Office or place Of
vocation. OF all exercises, the wand
drill produces the best results. More
muscles are exercised in the same
space of time than is the case in any
other variety of movements. Heavy
dumb bell lifting should be discarded.
Strength is rapidly increased, but the
heart is too easily affected. Rather
practice with those of lighter weight
and frequently lifted. Wrestling is
a splendid exercise to increase the
strength. All apparatus work as prac-

Proposition to Dispose OF Its Rights

President Hutin of the Panama Canal
Company has finally submitted to Admiral
Walker the head of the isthmian canal
commission, the 1ong-expected proposition
in behalf of his company for the acquisition
of all it's rights by the United States gov
ernment. The Panama Company has been
restrained up to this moment from submit
ting direct proposition owing to a clause
in the concession which it holds from the
government of Colombia, which prescribes
forfeiture of the concession as a penalty
for the making of an effort by the company
to transfer it's right to another government.
So the company's agents have been
obliged to act with extreme caution and
with indirection in making any overtures,
but in some way the Colombian government
has been induced to wink at this technical
violation of the concession, and the propo-
sition has been made at last. Its terms
are not yet disclosed, and it is probable
that they will not be until the isthmian
canal commission publishes its report.

LONDON, November 6.-The most vim

in the thick of the campaign, could not
have painted that organization in blacker
colors than do the editorial writers in the
afternoon newspapers here today, in con-
graduating New York on the result of the

THE success of Seth Low is an event on
which every friend of America and every
lover of virtue and honesty anywhere has
good reason to raise paeans of ,congratula-
TONS, says the ST. James Gazette, adding:
1T is the greatest blow yet struck at the
most nefarious system of organized, tri-
umphant villainy ever foisted on a civilized
community by gang of corrupt black
mailers, but the terrific power of such an
organization can only be finally crushed by
a counter organization and equally far
reaching energy"

that preside over honest government de-
serve a libation from every good citizen
throughout the world
The Westminster Gazette remarks: 1.-THE
New Yorker seems at last to have grasped
that he has Il citizens responsibility for
the good government of his city. With
President who has declared against the
spoils system and de-Tammanyized New
York, the administrative outlook for the
United States is brighter than for a long
time past"
