st. Louis, July IA cyclonic wind
struck ST. Louis and suburbs at noon to-
day Telegraph and telephone wires were
blown down. In ST. Louis county trees
were uprooted. The wind struck the
steamer Alton as IL passed, with 300 pas
sengers, from ST. Louis through the draw
of the bridge at Alton. H., twenty-five
miles north Of here. The steamer was
swung around until part of the wheel
house was torn off against "a pier of
the bridge. The boat was damned there.
The wind here picked up wagons and
threw the horses and drivers to the
ground. Because Of trolley wires being
torn down. the electric cars in certain
parts of the city were stopped for an
hour.
Lashe9 b. the wind, the waves dashed
over the levee protecting Venice, H.,
from the Mississippi river. Ten thou
sand acres of farm land were inundated
and 80 families were forced to flee from
their homes.
The wind attained a velocity of thirty

municatiOn was interrupted with Alton for
an hour. Later IL was found out that
none of the passengers were injured by
the steamerabeing blown against the pier.

New idea in Learning Golf.

NEW YORK. June 19.-Learning to play
golf by the aid OF looking glass is the
latest innovation to be tried at the Mont
clair Golf Club. Tom Anderson, the vet
eran professional, has had large mirror,
Z by feet, set into sliding door at the
side Of his shop and it is now ready for
use.
The theory in golf has always been that
if golfers could only see themselves as
others did they would not continue to
make the same mistakes over and over
again. When instructing beginner one
of the hardest things the professional has
to do Is to make himself clear to his
pupil He often tells the amateur not to
do so and so, but in nine cases out of ten
the latter fails to grasp the idea.
Now all he will have to do when making
a swing will be to raise his eyes and be-
hold himself in his true colors. If he is
dropping his right shoulder. pulling away
from the ball, lifting the club too straight.
in fact, committing score or more of
golfing sins, the mirror will reveal the
painful fact with unblushing frankness.
1t is the same principle as watching
ones shadow with the sun at the back,
only the looking glass presents many
added advantages. Golfers frequently go
along month after month blindly suppos-
ing they have full, easy swing. when in
reality it is both short and cramped. If
they do not want to have the delusion
dispelled they had better keep away from
Old Tom and his mirror on the sliding
door.
