THROWING STONES.

Why Girls Are Unable to Compete
With Boys In This Pastime.
1t is hardly worth while to tell you
that girls cannot throw stones like
boys. You have all seen them try 1t
and perhaps have laughed at their ef-
forts, which was wrong, OF course.
but natural, for 1t really Is a funny
sight. But 1t is likely that you did not
attribute their failure to the right
cause. You thought perhaps-that is.
you boys thought-that 1t was merely
a girls awkward attempt to initiate a
boy, but In that you were wrong, for
1t is a physical impossibinty for a girl
to throw with the free movement of
the arm that a boy has because her
collar bone Is larger than a boys and
Is set lower.
This comes from a physician in a
girls college who has made a careful
study of the matter, impelled thereto,
1t may be, by the importantly Of the
girls, who were ambitious to equal or
excel the boys in this physical accom-
plishment, as they have done in many
others. In any sport where this free
use of the arm and shoulder Is not re-
quired a girl may excel, but she may
as we'll give up all hope of ever throw
ing stones the same way as boys do.
In spite of all this we find a girl now
and then who can throw almost as far.

Field Day at WiIdwo

Inc botanical society of the Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania, under the leader
ship of DR.. Schumacher, of West Ches-
Ter Normal school, visited Wildwood
on Saturday, September IL. Although
q study of the fora of the island was
the chief object of the visit, sometime
was spent in the study of bird, insect
and animal life of the beach. Among
the interesting plants found by the
party were specimens of the poison
hemlock from which was extracted the
poison causing the death of Socrates.
several specimens of polyps belonging
to the coral order were found attached
to p piling at Wildwood Crest.
Among these were clusters of the
Hydroid Polyps. While the party
were resting DR.. Schumacher gave a
lecture upon the formation of the
eastern section of the United States ex.
planning certain characteristic shore
features. He was assisted in his work
by DIR. Adolph Miller, of the University
OF pennsylvania, DR., Seiss. an eAthusi-

is well known as author, lectS Yer and
teacher. Many of us remember his
address on birds" given at a teachers
association in Wild wood during the
spring of 1907. He is to give a course
OF lectures at the Witherspoon build
ing, Philadelphia, during the coming
winter and fortunate indeed are those
who can avail themselves of the priv
ilege of taking this course.

Board of Trade Meeting

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Wildwood Board of Trade will be held
on Wednesday evening, Sept. %, 1908,
In the borough hall at eight o'clock.
All members and citizens of the island
should be present. Special business
will be to discuss the ~advisability OF
erecting an auditorium on the board
walk front for musical entertainments;
also ways to prolong the season by
offering special attractions during Sep
tember. Reliable information from
the transportation department places
this island second only on the coast to
Atlantic City. Much of this is due to
the work Of the Board Of Trade. Let
us keep this pace going.

Why Go to Hedf

1t seems to me we make a mistake in
prescribing special hours for going to
bed and for getting up. Why should
we thus gorge ourselves with slumberi
Why should we not follow the example
OF the dog and take an occasional nap
when we have nothing better to dol
Why should we go to bed when we
don't feel sleepyf Why should we not
take forty winks when inclined there

EXPENDITURES
Balance on hand,

The weather was again propitious
for the goodly number that came down
once more Oh Sunday morning to en-
joy the ocean view, the breezes and the
fishing. Quite a number of yachts were
ready to receive the visitors and to take
them out to sea and quite a number
took advantage of it and In the after
noon returned with good results.
The school attendance in the new
school house 10th and Central avenues,
is quite satisfactory and every one visit
ing the building cannot help but adj
NIT the condition and arrangement of
this institution. The good that must
come through the education received
from our public schools cannot be cal
culated and 1t is the first thing that
should be considered by every child's
parents or guardians.
Quite a gale prevailed here for several
days during the week but did no dam
age OF any great account. Reports
were spread. here and there but in every
instance found 1t to be a great exagger-
alton and in most cases utterly I'M
founded. Mace's pier, in its whole ex-
tent, sustained no damage at all, show
ing its strength and durability. Some
people thought that on account OF the
short time 1t took to build it that it
would not be able to stand the oceans
attack, but with the proper material
and workmanship one can do the right
thing even in a little time.
The skeleton of the whale can still
be seen lying owe at Champagne
island from Mace's pier. The flesh
has been hewn from it but sometimes
small pieces that have been towed out
to deep running water, like Bangno's
ghost in Macbeth, will not down but
return to Mace's pier where the whale
first landed as if to vex the owner of
the pier, but Mr.. Mace at one had it
towed further out.
A number of cottagers have gone
home from their summer residences
here; among them the Lennig family
on 4th avenue, some Of them may re-
turn during the fall. The Gardner
family, of Philadelphia, have departed
for home after having enjoyed the
bathing, the walks and rides and the
rest at their fine dwelling surrounded

cape May TO Bay Head,

If New Jersey builds the shore State
road Governor Fort proposes along
the Atlantic beach from Sandy Hook
to Cape May 1t will match and recip-
rocally add to the use and value of
the waterway from Bay Head to Cape
May, to which New Jersey has already
appropriated $50, 900.
This waterway will change water life
along the whole coast from lodging in
and out of tortuous waterways of
varying depth to travel on a marine
thoroughfaEe. 116 miles long, 10 feet
deep and so feet wide. The New Jer-
sey Geological Survey gives most of
its current report to this waterway. No
difficulties exist in its way whatever.
AS it stands now, only 20 miles are less
than 6 feet deep, AZ less than 8 and
53-about half the distance-less
than 10 feet deep. To get 10 feet
and the channel should not be less
will cost $514,0 600; 8 feet, $1,000 and 6
feet, 1884, 600.
Every dollar put into this marine
highway by the State will come back
in increased values of realty on Its
banks. Where the seaside cottage now
turns to the ocean and the beach, this
waterway, a salt tidal river, will give
another front, looking on a sheet of
water, always accessible, full of steam
ers, sailboats, motor craft, rowboats
and canoes and giving the animated
spectacle of q constant stream of boats.
Where many places of this line of
116 miles have only n water front,
that on the sea, this will give two
more, each side of the waterway, al
ways near the sea. The mosquitoes
suppressed, as they can be, and this
water road will be lined with villas
and grounds and make a pleasure way
unparalleled. If the auto seeks the
State road, the motor boat will turn
to this highway. Each will aid the
other and both add to life on the Jersey
shore what it has always needed, free
communication by land and water
north and south.-Phil adelphia Press.

point, being directly south of town. but as
the river runs northeast there are many
farmers to the east of Clarks across the
river that are compelled to go many miles
around in order 20 reach the bridge. The

City. except that at this point there are
two bridges, one to the south and one to
the east Of the town Polk county has
agreed to contribute 5000 toward a new
bridge and II Merrick county will give a like
amount business men OF Clarks and the
farmers who would be benefited believe
they can raise the balance. The Merrick
county Board OF Supervisors has taken the
matter under advisement and has instructed
its bridge COMMITTEES TO confer with a like

ter will be acted upon later. The pros
