Skating Rink SpeclaI,

What, in the skatoral world is CON
sldered the most daring, exciting and
difficult act to successfully put on Is
lelping the gap on skates, Many ex-
cellent skating artists have broken
bones and even lost their lives In try
Ing to perfect this act. The slide is a
track little over 20 inches wide, stalt-
Ing at the ceiling, % feet high and
touching the floor at an angle of as
degrees. AT the bottom of the slide is
spoon, the nose of which il five feet
from the bottom. When the pr IGessor
strikes the bottom of the spoon he .is
travelling at the rate of a mile a min
ute. This terrific speed carries him
up the nose OF the spoon and casts
him over hurdle 10 feet in the air
and making jump of 25 feet. The
professor seems to enjoy his novelty
as much as one of the skaters does a
two step, and when he start, on his
terrible journey down the slide bis
tace is beaming with smiles. he pro

people, there we're still greater ques-

the school room, and greater inter

work. He said that the schools had
improved greatly In the last three
years, and we're far better than the
majority of the schools IN the state.
