Odd Items from
. Everywhere.
Eeats for Swimmers.

A few years ago a prize of $500 was
offered to any one who could sink like
stone in swimming tank. No one
being able to do this, the prize was
withdrawn. This feat had been &C
complished in the 70s. The hardest
tricks known to professional SWIM
mer are % to sink on the back ca to
float on the face. There is no record
of any save one man who could sink
when he wanted to.
The natural position for anyone in
swimming is on the breast, the mo-
ment man tries to float he turns on
his back, SO as to get rid of the great
weight of the backhead by placing
it in the water. Stop the motions Of
swimming and the face goes under.
Only a few persons in the world can
float On the face and continue to
breathe freely al the same time. The
last known person who was able to
do this trick of sinking while on his
back was an attendant at one of the
swimming baths on the south coast OF
England, and it is said that lie had
practised it almost daily for three
years before he could do it.
