Apart from the fact that ALSO

believing that the fair natators may
succeed in stripping their brother

First, physical attributes: second.

Medical authorities are unanimous
IN asserting that woman is better
fitted by nature than man for pro-
longed effort in the water. To begin
with, she possesses in larger proper
ton the sub-cutaneous fats which
check heat radiation and thereby
preserve the temperature Of the body
when exposed to chilling outward In
fiuences. She is. therefore, more inn
peryious than man to cold. the great
enemy of the marathon swimmer. and
better able to endure the Ill effects
Of immersion in cold water.

Performances of women against

are worth touching upon because

stances formed by the tissues while
in action. And this elimination is all
important, for when the poisons are
produced in excess Of the amount
which the veins can dispose OF, mus
.cular fatigue follows, and not infre-

Furthermore, the gross-fibred male
muscles develop said poisons far more
rapidly than do the fine-fibred female
muscles.
AS tIlsreadi1y be seen, woman has
a decided physical advantage over
man, not only because she suffers less
from cold. but also because she is not
so likely to become exhausted under
the continued strain attendant upon
swimming for several hours.

THE MONTH Of MAY HAD
BUT EIGHT CLEAR DAYS
Rain Fell Eighteen Days Out Of The
ThirtY-0ne During Past Month.

The old saying, April showers bring
May flowers, fell just one month late
this year" complains the Grafton
Sentinel of yesterday, land of course
new record has been established.
April to all intents and purposes was
a pleasant month, as all in this COM
munity will remember, and some very
summerish weather prevailed during IL
great part of that month. but the month
of flowers, all agree, fell short in so far
as the requirements for the month of
May are concerned. There were flowers,
there is no doubt. but the rain took first
place with the flowers a bad second.
Instead of MAY being the month Of
flowers it might be Ie-christened the
month of rain, as it surpassed all spring
months in amount of precipitation this
year. The month in Its entirety was
probably one of the most dreary that
local people have experienced in many
years. 1t was rain, rain, rain, day and
night. Few DAYS were there that rain
did not fall, or there were not indica-
lions that more" would follow soon.
During the period there were eighteen
days on which rain fell in quantity, and
one additional dav when there was a
trace of rain, that is, when there was
some rain but not sufficient to record.
Of the thirty-one days in the month
only eight were clear. There were
seven that were partly cloudy and six
teen cloudy.
June, to judge by the days that have
come and gone, promises to rival May.
Thus Ear her average for rainy days has
been one hundred per cent. and as
Josh Billings says, tibet is a hummin
averidge."

Venerated and Exalted

Never before was there a Memorial
day when so few veterans of the great
war needed the proofs given of the
underlying loyalty, gratitude and de-
votion of their countrymen. But never
was there a Memorial day when so
many Americans who never were SOL
diers had need of paying this tribute to
the men who risked everything and
often lost all that the nation might live
in safety, power and glory and go on to
wider service to the world, leading the
march of mankind.
So the balance holds true The ranks
of the heroes are thinned by time, but
the millions who reap where they sowed
and rejoice in the fruits o. their devotion
and valor are mightier host than ever.
And in another sense there is an unfail-
leg adjustment of changing conditions.
There are few er survivors of the he
roic and terrible four years struggle
for the Union, but they are venerated
and exalted as they never were when
their ranks were full and their number
made them great power in the affairs
of the nation. Cecil Wing.

A VERY DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
WAS NARROWLY AVERTED
Last Friday Morning When the Mill
of Dixon & KeIso Was Threatened.

At three O'Clock last Friday morning
the large Touring mill and combined
warehouse of Messrs. Dixon & Kelso,
located on Liberty street, IN Oakland,
was discovered to be on.fre by members
of Mr.. A. C. Whetsells family, who
live in the property adjoining, and who
promptly gave the alarm which was
responded to with the usual alacrity of
Oakland's populace.
Within a few moments afterwards
the fire was located in the basement
which seemed to be burning in dozen
or more places, its spreading being due
no doubt to the mass of dust which had
accumulated upon every beam and tim
Der in the structure.
For more than an hour the flames re-
sisted the efforts of the firemen who
no sooner quenched the fire in one spot
than it broke out in another. At times
the flames shot out on the third floor
but with the usual pluck and tenacity of
the local fire fighters they never gave
up and eventually saved the building.
The machinery as well as nearly
every piece of betting connected with
it was more or less damaged. The
grain conveyors, which ran from the
basement up throughithe different floors
to the individual machines which they
supplied, acted as fiues and with but
very few exceptions these were burned
out as well as the woodwork OF the
mills with which they were connected.
entailing quite heavy loss upon the
proprietors. In addition to the loss
sustained on account of the fire, water
did much additional damage. The
figure of loss has not been set by
| Mr.. Dixon nor can any estimate be
made until the insurance is adjusted,
which will be done in a short time.
The mill is located amidst a number
of other large structures including the
Naylor buildings aud the Frantz hotel,
] and had the fire gained such headway
as to become uncomfortable by the fire
men there is every reason to believe
that portion of Liberty street on the
South and probably several structures
on Second street would have faller
victims Of the flames.
In addition to the alarm given as
stated above. the operators of the
