'SURFIESS BOARD
MAKES FAST
TINE

The surfless board is the latest
mode of water transportation in vogue
on the Columbia river.
One of the big features of the an
mail Christmas swim planned under
i the auspices Of the Multnomah Club at
Portland, on Christmas morning was
the ~surffess surf.boafd riding OF
Clair TAFT and Ted Treble. %
The Telegram says
@This VIII be given just before the
womeff's race and the I09.gard Open
event and Is expected to take MP about
is minutes. The pair viii attach their
SURF board to. Leigh tSn Steeless nnotaTs
boat, going at a rate of 25 miles
through the water. end TAFT will hold
Preble on his shoulders, balancing
himself on the board with the aid OF
ropes for his hands.
Later the boys will give a tango
dance on the marrow strip Of timber,
and go through with number of other
stunts which appear practically impos.
sible.
It is possible to tilt the board In
either direction with both boys on it
without their taking asspill into the
icy waters OF the WflIiamette, and the
effect OF their apparently skimming
along on the surface or the stream
With the board out Of sight, is ex.
tfelnely novel Moving pictures of the
feat have been taken and exhibited all
over the werld, but this Is the first
exhibition which the general public
has had q chance to witness
FFeble Is the real originator of the
scheme, which has been used by no
other swimmers One year ago last
summer Prebie was Walking to- a
friend and they argued over the ques-
ton of whether canoe overturned
easily or not. Preble claimed that it
didn't, and the result was wager put
up that PrebIe could stand upright In
one OF tile fraiR craft. tewed by a
boat. and that he wouldn't upset in it.
{ A fast motorboat was provided, and
in the test which followed. Preble not
only stood up when the boat was go
ing at full speed, but quick turns and
all other possible antics of the motor
boat didn't cause him to lose his bal
|ance. - p, 6 ~ ~
This established The scientific fact
that II was because of being propelled
SO swiftly through the water that the
canoe didn't upset. Working on this
theory. Preble and TAFT secured d
small box and tied 1t to d launch. *
The result was that they both got a
good ducking the first time they tried
the stunt as the box was too small
and didn't cover enough surface.
This led to their adoption of a
board, and from that time On they had
little trouble. The principle involved
Is exactly the same as a swimmer
riding on the Incoming waves with a
surf board only the surf is absent
Gradually they Increased their rep
Eertoire of stunts which they could per
form on the narrow plank. until now
they both declare that they are the
original tango dancers, and can pull
more different steps on their slender
footing than any professional in this
part OF the country.
This is. the first time they have
ever tried THIS feat in the dead oil
winter, and both declare they will be
mere careful than If it were in the
middle of the summer. Both boys are
willing to wager a little on the side
however, that they. will not take a dip
In the icy waters of the Willamette,
under ordinary conditions.

A DEFENSE OF HOT CLIMATES

There is great deal to be said in favor of the protracted heat of the long summered climates. One ought reflect that all the civilizations of antiquity fourished in tropical sub tropical regions. Egypt Assyria, Greece, Italy countries where precedented culture attained without the aid of artificial heating; the warmed them in summer and the people bore their chilblans well they cold in winter without remitting their exertions for intellectual artistic uplft. Their moral and religious condition left something to be desired, but with the universal spread of ethical culture the lapse any such condition in time is scarcely to be feared for civilization in the hot countries of the Western Hemisphere. Our aborigines, instinctively wrought the lines of antique empire and grew and enlightened they avoided Green land the north and Patagonia the south. per fecting themselves in architecture and sculpture they want, till the breathless plains and among the volcanic mountains of Central America they left monuments surpassing in beauty those of Egypt At least this is what travellers say; any who doubt it may go and for themselves; and if the logic of weather reports they will prob ably find themselves secure from sunstroke in Guatemala Yucatan than in eastern Massachu- setts-W.
