In the presence of a vast concourse
Of people, with ceremonial both con
ventional and novel, the PAN Amer
lean exposition at Buffalo was de-
Dictated formally Monday. The day
was fair, and the Industrious, ener.
getic men who planned this great
enterprise rejoice in fattering sue
cess. The day began with parade
in which there were men from near
~ every country in the world. and
ended with an aerial bombardment
from flying bombs and brilliant
electrical illumination. Between
the two were the formal exercises Of
the dedication, with oratory that
took its theme from the lesson of
the time, prayer for right, music,
song and poetry. The city was
bright in dress of flags and bunt-
ing, the exposition group is brilliant
in color, the moving crowds were in
holiday garb, and the whole effect
was highly pleasing. The record of
attendance was fully up to the ex
pectations of the most enthusiastic.
There was no complaint over de-
layed exhibits, for there were
spectacular things enough to weary
the most ardent sightseer by the
coming OF night.

THE SAFEST SAFETY WHEEL
BY JOE KERR.

BY JOE KERR.
Life, my boy, is bicycle path.
And work is tae wheel you should ride
II you would mount TO the crest OF the hill
And coast down the other side.
Just oil the machine with cheerfuiness,
And see that the parts are In trim,
Then straddle the saddle and pedal on
With ready, steady vim.
Don't start with n rush up the hill of life
Just pedal medium gait;
Remember that those who ''scorch" at first
Are likely to finish late.
Grasp the handle bars of the wheel OF work
With a firm hold-not too tight
Then sit up straight like man, and push
Push for the road that's right!
You may wabble bit, and punctures, too,
May cause you TO dismount,
But plug up the holes with smiles ADD pluck,
They are the plugs which count
There are other makes Of machines than
"Workr-s
Tssrs. re .'idle," the Lazy" the Rest"
And n host Of others Of tempting style.
But the one called Work" is best.
It's low gear wheel Of homely frame,
But it's safe and sure and strong,
And the man who rides 1t persistently,
Can never in life go wrong.
30 straddie the saddle OF work" my boy,
And push It along with pride,
Till you get to the top of the hill OF life,
Then youIi coast down the other side.

terday of the engineers appointed by him to
make examination of the condition of the
Brooklyn Bridge and report TO him the acci-
dent of July a. when OF the suspenders broke
and as to its present safety.
Mr.. Philbin says that he does not think il ad-
visable to make the entire report public at the
present time but he feels that is but right that
the public should know some of the decisions the
engineers reached. particularly in regard to its
safety He said:
The conclusion of the engineers on that point can
pest be indicated by the following language in their
report; I'VE believe the present margin of safety
TO De so small that the necessity for repairs
safety can be increased without materially inter-
fering with traffic at comparatively small cost"
IL was further stated in the report that the mar
gin OF safety will be increased by the absence OF
not weather. 1t will be remembered that the re-
cent accident and that happened in 1895 oc-
CURED while the temperature was very high. Mr..

IT is said he is probably without equal in the
computation relative to the designing of suspension
bridges Practically all the mathematical COM
having given his attention to the other questions
OF construction, OF course cooperating with Mr..
Meyer and verifying the latters results.
The District Attorney will submit the report to
other eminent engineers, and obtain their advice
to its contents before deciding whether or not to
present the case 70 the grand jury.

engineers involved a computation of the strength
