AS q wave comes rolling in, the man should
face both the sea and the woman. placing his
hands each side OF her waist. She should
have her hands on his shoulders. As the billow
breaks he tells her TO jump. and with appraised

spray. He cautions her not TO jump too high. or

breaker is unusually powerful he should walk
back a few steps and thus offset its force.
There is another position, which sometimes
proves more satisfactory, in which a couple
meets the breakers sideways, the holding
the woman's belt in his right hand and laying
his left her right shoulder. She then will
have her right hand on his left elbow and her
left on his right shoulder. AS a wave tumbes
upon them the woman springs up and the man
swings her around backward into the wave.

WISCONSIN MAN
AMUCK IN GOTHAM
Battles Behind a Barricade in
Broadway Hotel for Half
an Hour.

New York, Aug. 30.-A young man
who registered as Arthur #. Willard
Of South Superior, Wis, created much
excitement in a Broadway hotel early
today, before he was overpoWered by
the police. After barricading himself
in his room on the fourth floor, Mil
lard aroused the hotel by his cries
and by throwing furniture about the
room and out of the window to the
diningroom and office sAylight below.
The police had to chop in his door
with an ak, and one Of the officers
was stabbed before the man was ar
rested. The commotion lasted half
an hour.
Willard is about 25 years old. He
was well dressed and seemed sup
piled with money. He registered and
seemed perfectly rational.
Four hours later the guest tele-
phoned the night clerk for a police
call, but Mlllard slammed the door
in his face. Then he called for the
clerk and manager. When they ap-
peared he began yelling at the top of
his voice and throwing the furni-
ture out of the windows Scores of
of police was summoned. AS Willard
refused to open the door it was
broken with axes.
The interior of the room was
wrecked and Willard stood with arms
folded viewing the ruins.
AS Policeman Arnim, the leader of
the squad, attempted to seize. him,
Millards arm shot out and a knife
in his hand pen etrated the officers
breast. Half a dozen men leaped-upOn
the stabber, he was overpoWered and
carried to the station. The wound
sustained by Arnim was an ugly one,
three inches deep but will not prove
fatal.
At the police station, where Millaro
was taken, a surgeon diagnosed the
case as delirium tremens. Willard
was apparently sane when arraigned
before the desk and he was placed in
cell. Several hours later the door
man heard screams from the cell and
found the prisoner battering his head
against the iron bars Of the doors.
The walls and the door were spat-
tered with his blood. A surgeon was
again summoned. He said that Mil
lard had a scalp wound and the man
was taken to the hospital.

HARD TO FOLLOW
RUSSIAN NAMES?
CONSULT GOOD DICTIONARY FOR
PRONUNCIATION SCHEME.
5enders Of Press Dispatches Blamed
for MiX-up, but They Are Excused
by Fact that Several Nations Are
Represented Among Them.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building

From The journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, Aug. 3O.-Getting the
hang of Russian proper names is
about as difficult for an Englishman
to gre out the It off fe
English language. SO says Alexis V.
Babine, one of the cataloguers of the
library of congress. The Journal
correspondent was directed to Mr..
Babine when he tried to obtain some
key to the pronunciation Of the
names of Russian officers and places
which are constantly seen in the press
dispatches from the seat of war in the
far east.
Zone general rule may be laid
down when one comes to pronounce
Babine. "The letter "a should have
the broad sound, as in far the e.
as in 'eh,' the Il as in deep, the 90
as in no. and the u as in tool Of
rule, as for instance, in the word
'Vladivostok.' This should be pro-
nounced Vlad-i-vo-stock, with the ac-
cent on the last syllable. The 90 in
the last syllable has the short sound
as it is spelled in the divided word.
Another word in which the 90 is
Of the cruiser .Novik,' which has
figured somewhat in the press dis
patches That should be pronounced
Is 'Nah-veek with the accept sharply on
the last syllable. 1 would recon-
mend to one who would learn correct
Russian pronunciation that he pick
out his word and then refer to some
standard dictionary, the Century, for
instance. These dictionaries have,
usually, the correct sounds of the
novels, and the accents Of the syl-
tables, as nearly as they can be given
In English"
Mr.. Babine blames the senders of
the press dispatches for not giving the
correct Russian names in the records
of events in the far east. He says he
has seen as many as four different
tspellings of each Of several names of
Il places, and one familiar with the Ian
Fsguage is apt to be confused in figuring
out just what the correspondents
from the fact that the correspondents
are of different nationalities, and each
spells the names according to the way
he has figured them out in his own
language.
Apparently no one has thought the
subject worth treating in a genera!
way, for there is no work in the con
gressional library on the pronuncia-
ton and meaning of Russian proper
names. Russian dictionaries have
/ been published, but they are some.
Il thing like our own dictionaries, and tc
find the meaning and pronunciation
& of q word, one must pick out the word
{ and then search for it in the diction.

DYEMAN'S HORSE

Perturbed.

Chicago, Aug. 30.-The purple cow
has been outdone by the purple
horse''-and that in Glencoe. Otto
Spinoza, proprietor of dyehouse
there as disturbed the artistic sensi-
biities Of some residents by the pur
pie, green, pink and other dyes and
combinations of dyes with which he
has 'decorated' his white horse. :.
When the horse first appeared in its
new colors the residents were amused
but as more brilliant colors were added
from time to time and the horse be-
came less and less presentable, an at
tempt was made to have it kept from
the streets. The police were appealed
to, but decided the horse could appear
in whatever tints it's owner chose.
The critics turned aid to the viii
1age improvement society. This or
ganization appointed a delegation to
wait upon Spinoza in an attempt to in
duce him to keep his horse less in the
public gaze or else present it in a more
subdued and pleasing array Of colors.
He refused, arguing that it made no
difference whether the horse harmon
lied with the landscape or not, SO long
as it did it's work faithfully and did
not infringe upon the rights of. others.
The committee is looking for other
means to compel 'Spinoza to abandon

UNIQUE Manufacturing Exhibit,

In the manufacturers building at
the State Fair the center of attraction
is the model fur factory and hat fac
tory operated by The Palace Cloth
ing House. The company has taken
double space for their exhibit in order
to demonstrate the clever handiwork
on the hats and fur garments and to
show the development of this large
business devoted exclusively to the re-
failing of mems and boys clothes So
extensively has this business grown
that it has become necessary to manu-
facture a great percentage of the mer-
chandise on the company's own
premises
The reason for this is attributed to
the fact that it is the Palace Clothine
Houses constant effort to show t.Su-
preme Quality" All materials usec
In the making of these hats and furs
are of absolutely highest quality anc
In this particular point the exhibit
stands unique in that Minnesota furs
are used in the manufacture of Min
