is more than half gone and the long summer vaca-

there are few places which have as large floating
population at the present time as this city by the

ADVENTUROUS SWIMMERS.
The idiot who persists In attempting to swim
around the end OF the ocean pier has made his
annual appearance. and II he Is drowned before
the summer is over II will not be his fault The
pier Is considerably over half a mile IN length
making swim OF over mile necessary In order
TO accomplish this feat. and. as "a rule those who
attempt It and thus make unnecessary work for
the life guards not the most expert swimmers
The guards have little trouble with bathers who
cannot swim. the wouldbe natatorial experts being
almost the only persons who get Into difficulties In
the water.
1t is stated that another new brick and stone
house is to stand in Mchigan-ave near the beach.
