WALKS BACKWARD
ACROSS CONTINENT

New York. May ga man walking
into the city hall backwards caused
some excitement yesterday. 1t develop
ed that he was Patrick Harmon. and
that he had walked In this manner
from San Francisco on wager He
was accompanied by w. A. Baltazor,
who walked the regular way as a
watcher to prove that Harmon accom-
plished the feat.
On Aug. >, 1915, a bet Of $4,000 was
made between two men in San Fran
cisco that Harmon could not accom-
plish the walk in 2so days. If he did
accomplish the feat he was to receive
$4,000 of the amount wagered. The
walk Of $500 miles took 239 days and
was completed twentY-one days ahead
of scheduled time. Harmon had a re =
flecting mirror strapped to his body
by which he could see where he was
going. He said he had little difficulty
with the exception that 1t took him
two weeks to overcome the dizziness
