Vast Amount of Calculation Neces-

the vessel must be figured out so az
to allow for the various strains tC
which the hull is subjected on it:

of data must be collected to fix this

In Wrestling Match Between John Piening
and Mel Olsen.

John Piening, the Graceo-Rom
champion, and Mel Olsen, the big
Dane, wrestled Tuesday night at Luna
Park. The Butcher Boy was pre-
sented with a souvenir by a committee
from the bowling club of which Pien.

contest was exciting, Piening pinned
Olsen's shoulders to the mat after
thirteen minutes of aggressive wrest-

FORUM OPENS BOWLING
SEASON WITH VICTORY.

for Them.

The first bowling match on Blood
goods new alleys was held last night
when the Young Mems Forum defeat

straight games.
In the first game the Forum easily
showed that they were in great trim
and were at home on the new alleys
for they easily put it yer the o. @.
@. by ninety pins. In the second
game the o. @. o. tried hard and they
rolled with determination, but it
seemed as if the Forum was only fool
ing with them for again the Forum
came out ahead this time by just
twenty-one pins.
This would have ordinarily ended
any other match but for the sake OF
good fellowship a third game was
played and again the o. @. @. lost to
the Forum, this time by thirty-sis
pins.
The lowest score was made by John
Sofield, of the o. 9. O., who bowled
ninety-six in the first game. The
highest score was made by Charles
Rossi, of the o. O. c., who bowled
1919 in the second game. The losing
team was compelled to stand the price
for refreshments for the crowd.

The complainant breathed heavily

1T was about two months ago that
he came rustling in from a short trip
through Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
and you could see in a minute he had
something on his chest. He gathered
five of us fellows who he knew had
been sailing away little in the bank
and told us he had a scheme to let us
all in on the ground floor of a good
thing.
1T seems that while he was spend
ing several days down in little In
diana city where we were having
some trouble he met an old chum-
a lawyer-who was promoting an oil
well, or rather, trying to promote the
capital out of investors. He took Ack-
ersly over the property and gave him
a strong talk.
"As | understand II, about ten or
fifteen years ago, when they struck
natural gas down there, some gas
driller stumbled onto an oil well while
drilling, but not. caring for oil in the
excitement to get gas he plugged the
well by dumping lot of stone in and

of them fed from the city, many tax
ing refuge on ships at the Piraeus.
Nobody slept in Athens the night
before the predicted earthquake, and
thousands spent the hours OF darkness
in open places around the city. May
5 was beautiful day, and, there was
nothing to mar it except the distress
and discomfort caused by the earth
quake prophet.
In the following year Fab predict
ed an earthquake for certain day in
Chile, and the people of Santiago were
thrown into great excitement. Every
railroad car that could be mustered
into service was busy for day or two
carrying refugees away from the city.
There was no earthquake, but the
misery and loss inflicted by Falb's
prediction were considerable.
Very little has been hoard of Falb
since that time. His seems to have
been a case of a scientific man gone
wrong. After the fever of earthquake
prophecy seized him he never added
anything to the work that had given
him a respectable standing.
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1903-11-05

Prof. Rudolph Falb of Vienna is
dead. He had a remarkable career.
He earned an enviable reputation
in the scientific world as a meteorol-
ogist. He wrote on the subject with
care, learning and authority. In his
later years, however, he was largely
discredited among scientific men be-
cause he became possessed of the l,--
that he could foretell the occurrence
of earthquakes. Some of his guesses
hit the mark, which only added to the
suffering he caused by erroneous pre-
dictions.
In 1898 he predicted that the island
o. Zante, OFF The west coast of Greece,
was about to be shaken by severe
earthquake. The prediction came
true, aud so did his prophecy of an
earthquake on the mainland of Greece
in 1894.
II was natural, therefore, that when
he said Athens would be terribly
shaken on the approaching May 5 the
people of that city should be thrown
into great CONSERVATION. Thousands
