London, Aug l3-ln the course of
their speeches Saturday at the Uniopist
demonstration at Blenheim Palace, MIR
Balfour and Mr. Chamberlain alluded
to the necessity confronting Parliament
ct taking some measures TO abate
Nationalist obstruction ia the House of
Commo and referred significantly to
the over-representation of Ireland in
Parliament.
The hints have beeu eagerly seized
upon by Unionists and the Unionist
press, which is publishing letters and
articles explaining how. if ireland were
only represented in proportion to the
other parts of the United Kingdom, she
would send to the House of Commons
about 30 fewer members than at pres.
ent.
The idea is gaining ground that the
Government medltates making this the
principal business Of the next session,
ard that Ireland will be offered sort
of compensation by the concession OF a
more extended system Of local self-gos-
eminent.

The straight foot is now demand
ed at West Point, where the
"plebes' have to practice walking
on a straight line, and it has long
been the rule in the German army.
When the body is in the proper
poise, the ear, the shoulder and
the hip are on a line. The chest
is held up and the diaphragm ex-
panded to its full extent. This
puts the lower ribs almost on a
vertical line with the toes and
throws in the abdomen.
Having attained the right po-
sition, it is necessary to remember
that walking is a series of falls,
and that the upper part of the
body should move forward before
the feet. The body should not
sway either to the right or left in
walking. 1t should be held firm
ly, but all stiffness should be avoid
ed.
In stepping, the movement
should be from the hip, and the
ball of the foot should touch the
ground lightly in advance of the
heel. 1t is nonsense to try to
walk by putting down the toes
first, for the movements thus ac-
quired are far from correct,
