PAYS OVER 8 PER CENT. THE LAST YEAR

The annual meeting of the Five Mile
Beach Building and Loan Association
was held in John Bright's office last
Friday evening and the following Off
GERS were reelected for another year:
President, Hon. Philip p. Baker; vice
president, w. B. Livezey; secretary,
Howard r. Buck; treasurer, r. w.
Ryan; directors, DR.. N. A. Cohen, H.
H. Voorhees,, Jed Dubois, Fred c..
Meyer, Adolf Andersen, Carl Erickson,
Wash Hilton, John Bright, J. Albert
Harris, Frank Sheppard, Thos, S.
Goslin. The directors met on Wednes-
day evening and reelected Judge Voor-
hees solicitor. President Baker presid-
ed at the meeting. Secretary Buck
presented the printed annual reports
and stated that the profits of the asso-
citation the past year would figure near
ly 81 per CENT The statement is print
ed on page B and shows that $50, 300
has been loaned on first mortgage dur
ing the year. Dues taken in is shown
to be SIT 200. 70 and interest on same
$4, 200.65. Another noticeable item in
the receipts which shows the watch
fulness and aggressiveness of the new
secretary is that of fines, the amount
being S274.51 as against $780, 40 for last
year. The total loans on first mortgage
amount to $50, 100, all invested here on
the island, and there is loaned on shares
of stock S., 10. The withdrawal value
of the first series which is just eight
years old is shown to be 1921. 81
per share, while the book value is
$128.39. In the eight series
there are 14S05 shares in force. A
number of loans were made at the
meeting. The directors are very care
full in making loans and they have a
secretary and treasurer who attends to
business. The public is invited to take
out shares in the ninth series which is
just starting, as there is a big demand
for first mortgage loans on real estate
here and the association has not had
funds enough during the paste years
to meet such demands.

DOINGS AT OTTENS HARBOR

James Robinson, the official drill
master employed by the city of Phila-
delphia to drill its firemen and police
officers, has purchased a water front
lot at the Harbor.
Among the novel events to be held
on the Harbor In conjunction with the
big ox-roast on Thanksgiving Day,
will be a tug-of-war between motor
boats and a similar event between row
boats. Rules governing these contests
are being formulated and it is suggest
ed that owners of motor boats wishing
to compete communicate with Henry
H. Ottens. The judge of these events
will be Captain Richard Stanert, of
Grassy Sound.
During the past week a large amount
of gravel has arrived and been distrib-
uted on the various streets of the Har-
Dor.
The half a dozen cottages under
course of construction are rapidly near
ing completion. The coming spring
will see fully a cor of fine boat
houses and cottages added to the Har-
Dor colony.
A brilliant light will soon be erected
on a tower at the entrance to the Har-
Dor for the guidance of those leaving
and entering after dark.

Cutters have certain rules for sharp

strength and that they are essential to
some forms of muscular labor is so
prevalent that it is most difficult task
to convince people that these so-called
strong drinks actually weaken, rather
than strengthen, the body. Because beer
and stout are supposed to be made from
malt and hops, these beverages are
looked upon by many as kind of
malt extract, in the same way as beef
tea is regarded as an extract of beef.
The brewer, however, is so careful to
remove the food materials from the
liquids he brews that it is just as fool
ish to take beer and stout for nourish
ment as to run off long stretch of
canal to catch very small trout The
muscles of the body, the work they per-
form, and the effects of alcohol thereon
will be carefully considered
Muscles -.
There are more than 500 muscles in
the human body They vary greatly in
size and shape. Those that move the
arm and leg are large and long, while
some, connected with the eye and ears,
are almost too small to be seen. Mus
cles are usually divided into two classes:
(a) voluntary muscles, which are un-
der the control of the will and work
only in obedience to command. (b)
Involuntary muscles, which are not un-
der the control of the will, and always
seem to be on duty. These latter are
oSonnected with the vital organs and
,'ther internal parts. Muscles enable us
to work, help the food to digest, are
largely concerned in breathing and the
working of the heart. They make the
body shapely and keep the bones in their
places. Muscles are connected with
bones by means of white shining cords
called tendons, which enable them to
move the bones to which they are at
tached. They are highly elastic, and
are able to draw up, or contract as in
lifting. weight, and then to relax, or
go back to their former shapes This
property of muscle is the power by
which it moves the body.
AS the muscles are responsible for
every movement of the body, they re-
quire to be we'll nourished. For this
purpose large number of blood vessels
are found in the membranes which run
between the bundles and separate fbres
The distribution of the nerves, which
control their action, is effected in a
similar way.
AS the bundles of fibres are bound to-
gether to form muscles, so the fibres are
united to form bundles. The fbres of
voluntary muscles are like tiny threads,
little more than an inch in length. 1t
would take 500 of them placed side by
side to cover square inch They are
arranged lengthwise and have striped
appearance. With the exception of the
muscle ibres of the heart, which are
unlike all others, the involuntary mus
Gle fibres are not striped, but consist of
spindle shaped cells containing nucleus
and are attached to each other at the
edges. They are seldom more than
1-500th part of an inch in length, and
are exceedingly narrow. Each fibre,
like each muscle, has the power of con-
tracing and relaxing.
Power of Muscle -.
To ascertain the power of muscle,
many ingenious instruments have been
devised The dvnauoOreter exists in

nected with handle. The method US
ually adopted is to pull the handle with
the right and afterwards with the left
hand, the muscular strength being re-
corded on the dial. When the person
has become quite used to the machine,
he is tested several times, and the av-
erage strength is carefully noted. Ex-
perimenting with this instrument, Pro-
lessor KRAPEL1N found that, after a
short time had elapsed, small quantities
of alcohol weakened muscular power
and activity.
A more perfect form of apparatus for
examining the work and fatigue of
muscle is called the ergograph In this
case the forearm is bound by means of
leather straps connected with an iron
framework, in which the arm rests. To
firmly fix the hand the index and ring
fingers are placed in brass tubes about
four inches long, while the middle
finger remains free. To the free finger
piece of tape is fastened, the tape be-
ing connected with a cord which passes
over pulley, a weight being tied to the
end of the cord. The weight may be
replaced by lighter or heavier ones as
occasion requires.
A revolving drum made of brass is
covered with glazed paper, blackened
with SCOT from a gas flame, and fixed
into the apparatus in horizontal posi-
ton. 1t is made to revolve either by
clockwork or electricity, fast or slow as
is desired. To the cord, united by the
tape to the middle finger, is fastened
quill, the pointed end of which is al
lowed to rest upon the blackened drum
in such way that, as the drum revolves
white mark will be made When the
finger is hexed the weight is, of course,
corresponding mark on the drum, indi-
eating the height to which the weight
has been lifted. AS the finger is ex-
tended again mark is made in the OPP
posite direction. The finger is usually
moved to the beating of a metronome,
and in this way the number and power
of the movements are recorded upon the
revolving drum.
Fatigue comes on gradually as the
operator continues, which is seen by the
shortening of the strokes, and finally in
his inability to lift the weight at all.
1t is frequently found that, after the
consumption of alcoholic liquors, the
strokes, after a brief squirt, become
shorter and less regular. The power to
command and control the contractions
of the muscles is reduced and fatigue
fastened. Professor DEsTREE, of Bel
GUM, experimenting upon himself, found
that in six tests he was able to lift
nearly seventeen pounds After fatigue
came on he was only able in the same
number of tests to lift nine pounds,
while, following rest of thirty minutes
after he had partaken of wine, he could
only raise three and one-half pounds.
Muscle Waves :.
Another method of estimating the
strength of muscle is by means of a re-
cording drum placed in an upright po-
sition. The muscle of some animal, to
which the nerve is attached, is placed
upon stand and connected with the
revolving cylinder by means of quill,
the pointed end of which rests against
the drum. When the muscle is stimu-
