Jiu-Jitsu, the famed Japanese sci

mendous Impression upon tne public
in what might be called its descriptive
form. That is to say, everybody is
reading it, learned doctors are dis
cussing ii, athletes are trying to fig

position 10 ascribe an uncanny, almost
supernatural power to this athletic
method. which the Japs admit is moth

tain scientific principles to the en-.
ployment of the muscular system
The nerve centers are attacked by the
clever operator and thus by an unusu.
al use Of the nerve and muscular
forces. In combination, results are
achieved which would be impossible
through the ordinary medium of brute
force.
AT least this is the explanation in
a general way, and either this theory.
or the general fascination which an

the city is in position to establish

time TO commence was now. A be
ginning could be made by putting a
sewer along Main avenue this year
and then extending gradually from
year to year TO other parts OF the city
as we become able, He urged the
committee TO look carefully into the
matter of electric lights and ascer-
tain If the citizens were being over
charged, and said there was no bet
ter time to start with municipal ow-
nership than when the people were
being overcharsed,
To the health and police commit
tee he emphasized tne need of clean
illness in the alleys and back yards,
He also said this committee should
insist on strict enforcement OF the
curfew ordinance. 1t had been re
ported to him that there were too
many boys and girls of tender age
roaming the streets late at night, ana
the curfew ordinance snould be en-
forced so as not to place our city in
the position of educating criminals.
The fire and water committee was
advised to make trip over the whole
length of pipe line and make thor
ough inspection of the entire water
service. Attention was called to the
fact that 1t is generally expected by
our people that reduction in water
rates will be made this year. He
nad been told that the expense OF
the gravity system was $4,000 per
year less than the old pumping sys-

The bridge committee was remind
ed that the bridge on Second avenue
required repairs and ne suggested
that they find out just what was need
ed and also see If there were not some
means by which wagon bridge might
be built across the river at the foot
of Tenth or Eleventh street so as to
make nearer way of reaching the
cemetery He said it was question
II this could be done now. One thing.
