A Real Hero of the Sea.

Children all admire the life guards
who walk the beach of our popular
summer resorts and give aid to the
bathers and sailors when necessary,
but perhaps the most heroic story of
life guard is told Of Patrolman Mid
gett Of North Carolina One day dur
ing violent storm a few years ago
he was walking the beach about three
miles from his own station when.
looking out to sea- he beheld a wreck
about 800 feet from shore, Ten men
were clinging TO the masts, several Of
them more dead than alive. The hlH-
ricane was blowing a hundred miles an
hour Midget realized that prompt
action only coEd save these poor men.
but there he stood without lifeboat,
life preservers or any apparatus. To
risk swimming out seemed suicide, yet
he did it, as he was thinking Of the
men and his anxiety to save them
from drowning Following the next
receding wave as it swept back to the
wreck, he reached it. grabbed the near
est man and half swan and half stag
gered back to shore. Seven times he
made this awful trip. each time bring
ing in a half drowned man. The re
naming three didn't have the strength
to crawl over to the side of the wrecl
when Midget came for them, and Onl.
God knew how he had the energy t
pull them to shore, but he succeeded.
Single handed he saved the ten.
When a gold medal had been pre-
scented to him by the secretary of th'
treasury the hero accepted it wit
4 these modest words:
/ why, l hadn't done nothin'"'
Perhaps this was the browning proc
Of his being a real hero through AM

Value of State Board of Health.

The value of the state board of
health is well illustrated by its record
as given by President c. :. Caverly at
the annual school of instruction for
health officers. He said there are not
half as many deaths i'm the state from
typhoid fever and diphtheria as II years
ago, and that the number Of deaths
from tuberculosis has been reduced 30
per cent. during the same period. Last
ear there were 81 deaths from the
latter disease. This Improvement in
public health has been brought about
by the medical profession, which makes
its living on treating disease. 1t is a
very creditable showing for the profess
sion and suggests the query, why should
lit not bc just as crcditable to the bar
Of Vermont to improve methods and re
duce the cost of litigation 81 st. Johns

Some Wonderful Echoes.

Probably the finest echo which the
world knows is in the cathedral at
Pisa, where the leaning tower is.
Sing two notes. and there is no rever-
beration; sing three, and they are at
once taken up by the walls of the
edifice. sweIled. prolonged and varied
till they seem as divine harmony
from some majestic organ, according
to Answers.

lGgs and mutterings that you will be
glad to rush out in absolute terror.

BOXERS WEIGH IN AT

OaIy and Memsic Fail to Tip Beam at 145; Biggest House Ever
 Greets Welterweight Bout.

The Welters of last nights epic ten round boxing exhibition stripped to the hide. stepped on carefully adjusted scale in The Republican office at 3 o'clock yesterday after noon As Memsic lifted his sand from the bar, and stood a moment on the platform, the weights stood without a quiver. Then Daly stepped on, re leased the bar and it fIuttercd ever so slightly and settled back
 The weight money was then re funded. for both men had come down to the limit they had agreed upon. It only remained for them to step through the ropes to reclaim the largest forfeit ever put up for a local sparring exhibition. The second half of the money was slipped back to them at the ringside by the Sport Editor of this paper, holder of the forfeits and thatcher of the boxers
 Memsic and Daly appeared strictly on time at the ringside and received their ovations. Referee Skidmorc be- fore introducing the boxers read wire from Frankie Gage now in Fl Paso to meet the winner. This bout will probably be staged Labor Day provided Gage wins over Gus Andcr- son of Los Angeles on August 22
 The largest house ever assembled saw Pete Daly and George Memsic do battle last night. It had been predicted that Daly as a local pet would draw a big house. and that Memsic's many friends would greatly swell the audience. This prediction came largely true. for the theater was crowded. good bunch of fans arrived from Mesa taking good part in the roofing and favoring both boxers alike,

Daly was practically knocked out in the first five sccnds of the bout. but the game youngster did not admit it. He stuck the first round through terrible punishment and came back stronger when the next bell rang
