demoralized.
Today is Melrose Day, but the Her.
aid goes to press too early to chronicle
any of the events. One of the features
of the afternoon will be the 2:10 trot
or pace. Major Gantz, the local horse
has some fast company but it is hoped
that he can cop the money.
In the 2:25 trot or pace, Kingola,
the recently acquired pacing stallion
owned by Sanderson & Parker, has
been entered and his actions will be
watched closely by Sank Centre peo-
pie.
The base ball game between Mel
rose and Osakis, is expected to attract
a large number of rooters from each
town. The Herald understands that
the schools Of both towns will be
closed and the youngsters and oldsters
will be out in force to make the clos
ing day of the Fair notable one.
Lack of time has prevented the Her
aid from making any attempt to des-
cribe the exhibits in this ISSUE. This
feature of the Fair will be covered
next week.

Lubricatina Auto Springs.

The leaves of automobile springs
soon become dry and develop squeak
which is very annoying. An easy and
effective manner to remedy this trou-
BILE is the following: Obtain some fine
bronze wire mesh and cut it into strips
the same length and width as the
leaves of the springs. Fill the spaces
between the wires with hard oil or
grease by placing the screen on Il fiat
surface and using q putty knife or a
flexible strip of steel to spread the
grease. Take the springs apart and
build them up again. inserting the
creased mesh between the leaves.
This will stop all sQueaking and pro-
duce easier riding for long time.

STANDS 1900 VOLTS
Twelve Year-Old Son of Geo. Ingram
Has Miraculous Escape from
Death in Canada.

Many Sank Centre people will re.
member Lew Ingram the son of Geo
Ingram, who removed to Moose Jaw
Sask., from Sank Centre about three
years ago. The youngster came in
contact with a live electric wire about
Sept. LIST and 1890 volts passed
through his body, and he lives. The
following story of his miraculous es.
cape is taken from the Moose Jaw
daily newspaper:
"Lew Ingram, newspaper de-
livery boy, had a miraculous es-
cape from instant death this
morning at seven o'clock, when
he fell on the primary domestic
circuit of the City Electrical de-
partment in the rear of the Scott
building; over $500 volts passed
through the lads body, going in
by one hand and out by the
other, short circuiting the whole
electric light system. How he es-
capped with his life is not solved
by the power house authorities,
as he received the whole voltage,
the only explanation being that
as he was hanging to the wires by
his hands and not in contact with
the ground, his own weight broke
his hold and he fell to the pave
ment "a feet below.
cit appears that Ingram was
delivering his papers through the
swindows Of the Walter Scott
building by climbing the fire es-
cape. In some manner not
known, he lost his footing and
fell, and when he struck the net
work of wires in the lane he
grabbed two of the wires. The
contact of his hands burned all
of the insulation off the wires
and apparently his own weight
broke his hold. 1t is thought that
had he been standing on the iron
fire escape death would have been
instaneous.
"When he fell to the pavement
he suffered severe injuries in the
form of bruises on his head and
body, and naturally is suffering

Method of Beach Protection Employed
at Atlantic City.

at AtidntiC Sttys
Inasmuch as permanent. smooth
beach is one of the requirements Of a
successful seaside resort, the separate
interests which control the beach at
Atlantic City have made it their prac-
tice to lnild shore protection struc-
lures al, along the frequented part of
the beach. which is the entire city
ocean front. Unfortunately this con-
struction has not been under the
charge of any central authority. so
that various methods have been used
to prevent the beach from eroding.
says the Engineering News. Some Of
these have been successful, while 9TH
ers have not served the purpose for
which they were designed.
At Atlantic City the prevailing type
of protection is the timber groin and
timber wall. although in few cases
stone groins have been built. The best
wall which is now in service is the
one which has been built by the Hotel
Chalfonte owners to protect the beach
In front of that hotel. In consists of a
row of piles about four feet center to
center, penetrating from ten to fifteen
feet and projecting about five feet
above the sand. Near the top Of the
piles G by inch timber is fastened.
Two rows of two inch sheathing are
then driven in front of the 6 by inch
stick and fastened to it. and in front
of thessheathing riprap. protection is
dumped.
Another wall is built very nearly ac-
cording to the same design as the one
just mentioned. but the stone protec-
ton has been left off in front and in
stead there has been placed banking
of sand to the rear of the sheet piles
It is important to note that groins
when we'll built and properly located
will raise the beach level. but will not
protect the shore line against storms.

we'll built will protect the shore line.
but will at the same time cause a
greater securing action and thereby
tend to lower the beach.

BRIDGES Rusted by Salt.

Recent investigations of the Illinois
state highway department indicate
that few highway steel bridges in that
state are painted after their final COM
pletion and acceptance. Very serious
corrOsion results and is illustrated in a
number of cases. A serious factor in
the corrosion Of iron and steel is the
use Of salt to clear the roadway Of
snow and ice. This was considered at
least partly responsible for. the bad
condition Of truss members in bridge
which had been about fifteen years In
