In a ski jumping contest he must not

but must also have an abundance of
courage. for without either it would be
as dangerous as is high diving.
Ski jumping is Norwegian sport.
The skis are about yard long. slight
ly turned up in the 'front.' They are
made Of wood and are fastened to the
wearer's shoes and resemble the run
ners Of sled.
In a competition the contestants
start down a steep hill at full speed.
In the middle Of the hill projecting
ledge of snow Is formed. the upper
part Of which has less slope than the
hill itself. In fact, at it's edge it is al
most horizontal. From there there is
a sudden drop Of about ten feet, be-
yond which the hill continues at
steep angle for about a quarter of
mile. 1t is taking this drop that is
most dangerous. When competitor
leaves this ledge he shoots up in the
cir to height Of nearly fifty feet, from
which he descends like a meteor
Should he not land squarely on his
skis serious accident is probable.
At all places where ski jumping
meets are held physicians are in at
tendance. In Norway all contestants
must be more than twenty-six years
old. and before any one Is allowed to
compete he must be examined by a
