The Chair nf Tnr%urn

The most prominent building in the
ancient city of Nuremburg is the cas-
tie. One Of it's two towers was used
for torture, the other served as a
prison. The castle also contained a
museum OF horrors until 1t was pur-
chased by the Earl of Shrewsbury and
Talbot. in whose possession these rel
les now lie. One of these was the
chair of torture 1t was very heavily
made and studded over the seat and
at the elbows with blunt topped spikes
To 1t the victim was tightly bound
and in a short time discomfort began
to manifest itself and in time became
unbearable. During it's continuance
the torture was increased in several
ways by means of wedges being pass
ed between the legs and screws being
applied to the thumbs until they be
gan to bleed.

Ayalanches.

There are avalanches Of different
kinds, but when the term avalanche"
is used it is generally supposed to ap-
ply to falls of great bodies of snow or
ice, says Mr.. Edward Whynper in the
London Strand Magazine. One of the
first occasions of this kind which at.
tracted attention took place in 1920,
upon Mont Blanc, and 1t Ia commonly
called the Hamel accident. DR.. Hamel,
a Russian, set out on Aug. 1S to go up
Mont Blanc, accompanied by two Eng.
lishmen and eight guides. They had
ascended to a height Of more than
14,000 feet, with FIVE guides IN front,
who were cutting or making steps.
when all at once the snow above them
gave way, and the members of the
party were carried down a thousand
feet or more over the slopes up which
they had toiled. Snow again broke
away above and more or less covered
them. Some Of them struggled out,
but three of the leading guides were
hurled into a crevasSe and buried un.
der an immense mass of snow. The
bodies of these men reappeared at the
foot of the glacier thirty years after

new CONSl LTING
ENGINEER ntRE
POPULAR FARGO BOY HAS OPEN
ED AN OFFICE IN THIS CITY
AFTER A WIDE EXPERIENCE IN
IMPORTANT WORK IN SEVERAL
OTHER STATES.

Frank L. anders has opened an Of
fee at room "a, deLendrecie block, as
consulting engineer. Mr.. Anders Is
strictly North Dakota product. His
father was with the regular army aft
er the Civil war and Frank was born
at Fort Lincoln, where his fathers
troop was located. In '76 the Anders
moved to Fargo and this city has ei-h-
er been Mr.. Anders' home or head
quarters ever since.
AS a Fargo kid he was a pupil fn
the Fargo schools, and afterwards be-
gan work for the Northern Pacific. He
had the engineering bee in his hat,
however. to such an extent that he soon
hiked for a school where he could de-
vote his time to the study of civil en-
gineering. For FIVE years he was at
the University OF Wisconsin, complet-
ing the engineering courses In thor-
ough manner For three years of that
period he was city and county engi-
neer.
Later he was employed with the
Wisconsin state Board of Assessments
in charge OF the physical valuation Of
electric power plants and is an expert
in that class of work.
Following that he was in charge Of
various engineering propositions in
Nevada, Colorado and Utah.
Since that time he has been with
the construction department of the NJ
P. His mother, sister and brother re-
sid" in Fargo.
Mr.. Anders' wide experience shoufd
MAKE INN especially fitted for the pro.
fession of consulting engineer. He is
familiar with all branches of engineer
ing and knows the business in a thor
ough manner.
Mr.. Anders also has a military rec
ord of which he is justly proud. He
went to the Philippines with Co. B and
while serving with Lawton's scouts
made a reputation that won him a
medal Of honor for distinguished gal
lantry at San Miguel, May 1S, 1899.

STATE AID WHERE

CITIES WILL DO is AN IMPoR-
TANT FEATURE.

II Fargo desires to get $4,000 aid
armory, 1t will be necessary TO tell
the state board of armory supervisors
just what win be done by the citizens
in the way of raising a fund OF $4,000
to assist in the movement. The fol-
lowing letter has been sent OUT to
militia officials over the state from the
Office OF the adjutant general of the
North Dakota national guard:
Bismarck. N. D., May S, 1909.-It is
proposed to hold a meeting of the
board OF armory supervisors on May
21, at which time two and possibly
four organizations will be designated
as recipients of the armory aid for
1910 and 1911.
At this meeting IL Is necessary for
the companies applying TO make the
best showing possible as to the aid
they will receive from their home town
and it will probably be the policy of
the board to designate for assistance
such organizations as make the best
showing in this respect.
The board believes that the munich
palities interested should at least fur
IllSn a site ana LfldL Lne ClIlZenS OF
the town should contribute literally to
the erection of the building. az
In Minnesota and many other states
the municipality Is compelled by law
to furnish an armory without any aid
whatever from the general fund of the
state, and the armories of Minneapolis
and st. Paul costing hundreds of
thousands of dollars were erected un-
der such a law without a dollar of
expense to the state. North Dakota
as state is extremely liberal in it's
treatment of the towns interested in
that it practically gives a bonus of
$5,0 towards the erection of a build
ing which is as important for the
municipality and it is for the welfare
of the organized militia.
Every effort should be made to raise
at least $4,000 in addition to the
site, as it will cost all of $4,000 to
erect a suitable and permanent struc-
ture. Very respectfully,
AMASA P. PEAKE,
Adjutant General.

Charley Mitchell taught Mike
Cleary the same lesson when they met
at the American Institute building,
| New York in 1888. Cleary was fol-
lower Of Sullivan, and belonged to the
same school of fighting.
| "But Cleary could hardly put glove
on Mitchell, for the latter got wire
less every time Mike started one of his
swings and Immediately sidestepped 1t.
Cleary was as much surprised at
MitchelPs phantom footWork and
straight jabs as Leach Cross was when
Driscoll made the East slider look like
a green amateur at the Fairmont club.
"Of course we've had lot of clever
| fellows, like Jim Corbctt, Mccoy, Ryan
and Choynski, but they were not really
out -and-out swingers. They all had
clever specialties OF their own. IL
"Corbett's left always did the best
straight work. Nc Toy's famous cork
screw punch was as straight as an ar
row, with his slight twist just before IL
landed. Ryan and Choynski had mix
tuer of jabs and swings, but they
would have been far better boxers II
they had stuck to straight and left
handed blows.
''Old Jem Mace was the real master
in the art of boxing. His style was
simply perfect, and all those English
lads who have been boxing here lately
have adopted his tactics,
Mace Good Teacher.
"Along in the seventies Mace went
to Australia and taught Larry Foley
and other young fellows how to hit
stop and get away. His teachings de-
yeloped a lot of clever fellows who In
vaded America twenty years ago and
proceeded to waltz through oEA light
ers with ease.
"As soon as / saw Young Critic box
/ Immediately recognized Maces style
although / don't believe Critic ever
saw the veteran English pugilist. But
lit was Larry Foley who taught Critic
and Foley got it all from Mace. There
was Jem Hall, the cleverest big man
I've ever seen since Mace was in ac-
4 tive service.
''Fitz. by the way, was one OF the
/ Australians who learned his art from
Foley and then came here. He was
straight puncher and quickly cuts his
way to the middleweight champion
ship, afterwards to the heavyweight
title when he landed his famous solal
plexus punch in Corbett's stomach.
Johnny Summers, the other night
at the National Sporting club in Lon
don, taught our Jimmy Britt q hart
lesson in a twenty-round boxing con-
test. Britt is fast, clever boxer, but
he. like a lot of American lighters
must go back and learn the value O
straight hitting. That was the proper
caper in this country before the Wilt
swingers got going.
"John Bull is having great laugh
