Indians Fear the Dead.

The idea of immortality is very

friends and relatives join them, come
back and make them i'll. The dead
also envy the heirs all the good things
they have left behind. To pacify the

The accompanying diagrams will ex-
plain the great waste of power in using
a short skate. Having obtained the right
kind of a skate. the shoes are the next
consideration. Don't get them too high;
they bind the muscles of the calf and
prevent their free play. When putting on
shoes don't lace too tight. especially
round the top of ankle, as by doing so you
will prevent circulation and get your feet
cold and numb. and quite unfit to cope

When skating always keep warmly

minute and half. That was enough;
the next year I used the long skate
1 found by comparison that the power
was lost in the, length of the stroke and
the width of the path necessary when
wearing short skate. For example, with
the long skate it is possible to make a
stroke twenty feet In length in a path
eighteen inches wide, whereas. with the
shorter blade it is only possible to get a
seven-foot stroke while the width of the
ice necessary to get the length of stroke
was two feet each way. or a path four
feet in width.

either case the best results will be OBJ

be done over a measured course against

An interesting contest on ice is one be-

= Two things want to be remembered
when training for skating-the wind and

Another branch of skating which is
very popular is figure work. An entirely
different skate is needed for this, the
blade of which should be 11a inches longer
than the shoe. the back being even with
the back of the boot. The blade should be
on a six-foot radius and thirteen-sixty-

To attain speed is without doubt the
most fascinating pleasure to the average

are needed to improve his record In
order to compete in races it is necessary
to use the proper skate, which is the long

1t has been demonstrated, after a trial
