Capt. y. VI. Halliday, president of
the Union Ferry Co, has just announc-
ed that during the months of August

ginning August |. making two extra

geStions. The Union Ferry Co. is not
obligated to run these ferries after 3

OF much service to those people living
down town and also those using the

in the House. was so amended in the
Senate as to be repudiated by this or.

FREAKS OF THE TIDE.
The CaIdron Of the Spotted Seas and
the Amazon River Bore.

To the ordinary lay mind the tides
along our coast are most pulling He
knows that the tides rise and fall
twice in tweuty-four hours and that
this depends In some mysterious way
upon the moon. But IL in his travels
he sees 4 spot along the shore where
there Is no tide he is at loss to ac-
count for It.
To be exact, there is only one ocean
in the world where the tides follow the
moon with regularity. and this is the
great Antarctic basin And the reason
Is that there IS the only place a sweep
of water IS TO be found that IS entirely
uninterrupted by land. The enormous
waves caused by the moons attraC-
ton course round the world south Of
Cape Horn and the Cape OF Good
Hope, with absolutely nothing to break
them. Here in our northern hemisphere
great masses Of land interrupt the
shallOwness Of the inland seas, cause
them to perform antics which seem
most strange
The depth Of the water has much to
do with the tidal irregularities. Out in
the open ocean, where the tide is
abnormal-about 5000 fathoms-the
speed OF the waves is amazing. When
the depth decreases to five fathOms
the tide cannot travel more than fif-
teen miles an hour. In Englard. for
example. which IS surrounded by mar
row, land broken seas, the result IS
that they get some OF the most dan
gerous tidal races and currents to be
found. The most formidable OF these
is the whirlpool between the islands
OF Jura and Scarba, on the west coast
Of Scotland. This IS known as the
"Caldron Of the Spotted Seas"
There the current runs at times at
the rate of more than twelve miles an
hour. and the force Of a heavy tidal |
current rushing up TO the wide mouth |
ed river forms what is called a bore" |
A most striking example of this tidal |
feature Is often seen on the Amazon, |
when moving wall OF water. reach |

PATHWAY TO DISASTER.
overeonfidsnee Has Been the Ruin Of
Many a Good Man.

Many Good Man.
When the skillful general wishes TO
capture fort he often tries to find a
place that the garrison, sure of its
strength, has left unguarded. So Wolfe
planned, and so Quebec fell.
Many of those accidentally drowned
are good swimmers, afraid OF nothing
in the water.
Many a trainer. before a great inter
collegiate football match, has said that
his team would surely win-if the
coaches could cure the players OF over
confidence. Overconfidence Is the sure
forerunner Of disaster.
Every boy has seen some wretched
drunkard. with his blear eyes and bro.
ken gait. his rags and filth, shamelessly
and pitifully pleading for a few pen
MES with which to buy a drink. No
one can look on that sight, common
as 1t Is, without shudder. Yet there
was time when every such pitiful be-
Ing was free from the desire for drink.
For time he took his glass in moder-
alton. until suddenly n hidden inherit
ance from some ancestor, hitherto un-
suspected, awoke in him and drove
him headlong No one knows whether
that taint is in his blood. Yet every.
where men are saying, "Oh. I shall
never be a drunkard! can take care
OF myselfr'
So 1t was that good swimmers
thought as they swan to a point be-
yond their strength. So It was that
the poor wretch thought in the days
when he drank-bcfore it was too late

OLD POP TIME is a mighty for
midable foe, but records show
that many athletes, in many
different divisions, have given him
some long and fierce tussles before
the referee finally counted them out,
while others, after nearly score OF
years in active service, are still wag-
Ing a merry little battle against their
unbeatable enemy.
There is no division in athletics
that uses up mans vitality so much,
none that makes a young man age so
fast, none that is so strenuous as
pugilism. 1t calls for everything
there is in a man every moment he is
in a battle, and practically every bat
tie robs him of a little more of his
natural strength, and leaves him just
a little easier for Pop Time to con-
quer.
WET. here is Bob Fitzsimmons, now
nearing his fifty-second mile
stone, back in the ring again, and
showing much of the speed and the
ability that made a champion. Bob
began fighting in 1891, yet a few
nights back, just about % years after
his first entry in the ring, he snapped
punches with a $3.50
white hope" and gave that white
hope" very impressive beating.
Then there's Jim Corbett. another
ex-champion, who defied Old Pop
Time for seventeen years, and quit

fore pop forced him out of it, as to
avail himself of an opportunity to go
on the stage.
