MANS STRENGTH
Maximum Strength Reached
Usually at 3lst Year.

InQsnuch as a man S muscles develop
with use, it would appear logical that
the older he gets the stronger he should
become, but such is not the case Elk
perimcnts made with thousands of men
show, says Harper's Weekly that The
muscles Of the average man have their
period Of increase and decline, whether
he uses them much or little. The
average youth of II has a lifting power
OF ESQ pounds. BY his 10th year his
power has increased to such degree
that he should be able to exert a lifting
power Of 800 pounds, while his maxi.
mum power is reached in his 30th or
3lst year, 1868 pounds then being re-
corded. AT the expiration Of the LIST
year his power begins to decline, very
gradually at first, falling but s pounds
by the time he is 40. From 40 to sc
the decrease Of power is somewhat more
rapid, having dropped to $50 pounds al
the latter age, the average lifting power
of man Of 50, therefore,, being slightly
greater than that Of a man of TO- After
50 years the decrease of strength5 is
usually rapid but the rate Of decrease
varies so surprisingly in individuals
that it has been impossible to obtain ac-
curate data as to average strength after
that age.

Both were painfully but not fatally
wounded. After Hurley had brought
his hopeless infatuation for the widow
to the startling climax, thinking he
had killed her. he dashed out of the
back door OF the house waving his
weapon and clutching his gashed throat.
Edgar, Mrs Cassdy's sixteen year old
son, pursued Hurley through the
streets, tracing him by bloodstains on
the pavement. The boy guided Patrol
man Mercer to an eulpty box car in the
Chesapeake and Ohio yards, where
Hurley lay fainting from loss of blood.
According to the story told by the
woman and her son, Hurley boarded
with them when they kept roomins
house in Portsmouth several years ago.
Since then, both of them declared, he
had been persistent caller at the
house until to-day, when she told him
she would have him locked up unless
he stayed away and stopped bothering
her.
There was a brief but stormy argu-
ment, and Mrs. Cassidy went into the
Kitchen and slammed the door in her
unwclcome suitor's face. He followed,
