His muscles should play from neck to

looking at him should not be able to

step after step.
With each step the ball of the toe
must give an upward impetus as well as
a forward one. But the body must not

taken by the knee. which bends just

The foot must not be lifted higher

company would be organized to take

This will be done shortly but it is

be done on the show house this year.
1t will be let to contract so that it
will be completed by September 1904

There is no reason for building it soon
