THE LEILANIS
MAY COMPETE

Members of the LeiIani Boat Club are
considering the possibility of entering
crews in the six-oared barge race and
the four-oared shell race to be rowed
at the coming regatta. S. E. P Tay-
Tor of the Leilanis said yesterday that it
was more than possible that the orange
and black would be seen in the harbor
on September 18th.
The Myrtles have a senior barge
crew, a freshman barge crew and a
four-oared shell crew in training
The senior crew, which is being
coached by Captain Harris, is made
UP as follows: Lyle. stroke; Soper, No.
5; Lishman, No. A. Martin. No. g. ].
Crozier. No. 2; Sam Johnson, boy
w W. Harris and II. Giles are break
ing in the following boatload of fresh-
men: Messrs King (stroke), Frasier,
Simpson. G. Crozier. w. Roth and G.
Freeth.
A Giles, C. Girvin, w Armstrong
and G. Angus compose the shell crew.
None of the crews to take part in the
Regatta Day races have, however.
been definitely decided upon.
There is unbounded enthusiasm
among the men and the prospects of
the Myrtles avenging the battle of
Pearl Harbor, next month, are very
good.
An inter-club single sculI race is be-
ing talked of. but the proposition has
not yet taken definite shape.

The next step was to try the return
over the water of the under arm, which
had always been carried forward under
water. AT first this seemed like going
back to the old Trudgeon stroke, but
there was this great difference that in
the Trudgeon the whole head was above
the water line, and the stroke of both
arms was the same sweeping from side
TO side. In the new stroke the face and
head are buried after the kick, and the
under arm is lifted out and thrown for
ward while the whole body Is submerged.
The next kick makes the wash in which
the swimmer breathes the upper-arm
stroke follows, the head and face disap-
pear, and the under arm Is brought out
and thrown forward
When this stroke was first tried it was
thought to be as exhausting as the old
.Trudgeon but on account of its having
much less work TO do, all the power
being used in propulsion, it was soon
demonstrated that if the stroke was
properly adjusted to the time of breath
ing a swimmer could keep it up for some
time. and there are today at least doz-
en- men who can race mile with it.
Many modern champions think that
this style of swimming is quite new and
some of the strokes now in use are nam
ed after their supposed inventors, just

II must have surprised many crack
swimmers to see. when they visited the
Pan-American Fair, that the stroke
which they have arrived at after SO
many years of study and development
is practically the stroke which has been
used in Hawaii since prehistoric times.
II is unfortunate that no person who
was critical swimmer or knew the fine
points of the art ever visited Hawaii and
brought home with him clear descrip-
ton of the stroke there used What pic

cultivated that he can rely on it to sup
port him in almost any emergency. One
should be able to swim at least a dozen
strokes very fast and one should be able
to keep on swimming easily for at least
an hour without touching bottom.
Endurance in swimming comes from
two things: the time of the stroke and
the adjustment of its force to the
strength of the body. person can walk
for an hour or two without becoming
exhausted and summer girl can dance
for six or eight hours at a stretch, but
very few persons can run at full speed
after a street car for a block without
losing breath. 1t is so in swimming.
Very few outside of those who have
been specially trained for 1t can swim
any great distance at a high speed, but
any one can keep up a certain rapidity
of stroke for very long time. What this
rapidity will be, depends on the strength
Of the individual and should be ascer-
tanned by practice. In the castaway
stroke, used by sailors in the English
Navy, the swimmer makes only about
five strokes a minute and does not move
more than two feet at a stroke, but a
man has been known to keep it up for
two days after being lost overheard from
a boat on the Goodwin Sands.
The best way to adjust the stroke OF
the individual is to keep 1t in exac.
time with the breathing, which viii be
about twenty strokes a minute or a If
tie faster. If the strength is exerted
when the lungs are full and the chest is
firm and expanded, it can be used to bet
ter effect, and if the time of the exertioh
is always the same as the time of breath
ing, the whole operation becomes har-
rnonious and falls into rhythm which
requires very little effort to keep up.

not breathe in exact time with the stroke
the breathing must be hurried to keep
up or the stroke must be slowed to avoid
the unnatural shortness of the breathing.
1t is the stroke which should be adjust

peetally in swimming, and nothing else so
quickly brings 1t on as irregularity in the
stroke. or a stroke which is too slow or
too fast for the natural time of the

The whole art of swimming is directed
to bring about this adjustment Ten
years ago American champions used q
style of stroke which would be laughed
at today 1he well known Trudgeon
which consisted in swinging both arms
forward out of the water. the body being
on the chest, with the head and should

swimmer in this country could keep II
up for more than a hundred yards ever
when specially trained for the effort
The reason for this was that IL was oui

FAST SWIMMING AND
DISTANCE SWIMMING

swimming is useful In two ways: In
enabling a person to get 70 a place
quickly. and in helping person TO stay
afioat or to continue moving slowly for
a long time. There are times, as in go
ing TO the rescue of a drowning person.
OF In getting to float or pier against
strong tide, when a few strong fast
strokes are all important, and the ability
TO swim short distance very fast is
extremely useful. But If those few fast
strokes fail, the ability TO stay afioat
becomes of first Importance, and many
so-called good swimmer has been drown
ed because he never learned the art of
swimming a long distance In leisurely
manner.

teal use to person it should be so

time. This alternate motion resulted In
doing away with the peculiar jumping
up-and-down motion of the American
stroke and left the body deeper in the
arersa 50 that the head did not come
up at all. the mouth being turned on one
side just enough to inhale the breath
as the kick forced the body forward, and
made a wash or trough in the water just
deep enough to clear the swimmers
mouth.
The head being carried by the water all
the time the feet came nearer the sur
face, and all the power of the stroke was
used TO propel the body forward whereas
a great deal of the power in the old
style stroke was used in bobbing the
head up and down. This saved power
and ad9ed greatly to the endurance Of
the swimmer, it being much easier sim

WASHINGTON, Ian. 13.-The proposition
to increase the rate OF duty on wheat i'm
ported into Germany from 22.6 cents to "A
cents a bushel, lends interest to some fig
ures presented by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics regarding the expectations of
wheat and lour from the United States to
Germany and other parts of the world.
and the share which Germany takes or
our expectations of mat product. The NO
vember number of the Monthly Summary
of and Finance, issued by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics, shows that
the exports of wheat to Germany from the
United States in the eleven months ending
with November, 1900, amounted to 5,47S, $50
bushels out of a total of S. 1872. 462, or 60
per cent. of the total, while the four expor-
tations to Germany were 81 SOC barrels out
of a total of 1906 S4 barrels. or 81 per
cent. of our -four expectations during the
eleven months. Turning the flour into
wheat at the accepted rate of four and
one-half bushels a barrel, the total ex-
ports of wheat in its natural state, or as
-four, to Germany, would amount TO $780,
SOP bushels out of a total of 164, 700, 900 BUSH
els, or 5 per cent. of the total for the
period named.
1t is proper to add that the figures of the
German government covering the importa-
tons of wheat and -four differ materially
from those of the United States, putting
the flour imported for consumption in 1895,
the latest available year. at but about one
fourth the expectation from the United
States TO Germany in that year, and the
at double those exported direct to Ger
many in that year. This disagreement is
presumably due to the fact that a part OF
the wheat originating in the United States
received into Germany reaches IL through
other countries, but that a part of the
-four originating in the United States and
received into Germany passes on through
that country to the interior OF Europe and
