MAKES A STUDY OF WALKING
Expert Uses cinematosraph to Deter.
mine Kind of Artificial Legs Needed
by lnvaIided Soldiers.

A well-known German professor
states that the designer of artificial
legs for invalided soldiers must not
rely only on what he is told by the
patient and on what his own eyes
tell him.
To say whether the limbs are real
ly suitable requires study such as
the cinematograph enables the expert
to conduct. Following the example
IF Otto Fischer when first studying
the walking of man, he fastened, by
means of straps, Geissler tubes to
the outside of the legs of the sub
ject, one along the thigh and one
along the calf of the leg. The SUBJ
ject was then made to walk past the
camera in a dark room. Diagrams
were thus obtained consisting of four
lines in each case, representing the
changes in the positions of the legs,
and it was soon noticed that man
with one sound leg and one artificial
leg does not walk normally, and a
man with two artificial legs still less
so. Normal walking is always pro-
gressive in space, bat people with
artificial limbs threw the limb for
ward too much and then drew it back
again. There was hence an uncon-
scious waste of energy, and discom-
forts arose for which the inexperi-
ence of the invalid might be more re-
sponsible than the design and con-
struction of the artificial limb.

of the new minister, who, by the
way, had other books supposed to
be his own. And come to think OF
1t, that new church was to have not
only athletics but shower baths and
maybe some other things, tho 1t Is
not reported that any diamonds had
been promised. !,
There comes time In q mans
life when nobody pays much atten-
ton to him. They don't care
whether he is going out or coming
back, or whether he is doing either
one. 1t was so In Mackay. It was
so with the new minister.
One morning they missed him
from the quiet of their village, and
the indications were that he was go
ing out. He might be coming back
but the signs didn't point to 1t. He
and his wife were at home the even
ing before, and perhaps they just
went out in the mountains for q
pleasure trip. People do that some
times. OF course. they don't always
start out in the night, and they don't
always leave the house empty and
dirty and the walls spattered and
battered. After much investigation
it was said that people going to the
hills for pleasure hardly ever draw
all the money from the bank; they
hardly ever box up all their books
and ship them. They hardly ever
box up and ship the library belong
ing to the new church, so a search
was made, just very ordinary

search, to see II he had hidden the
library books away from the mice,
They asked the people at the bank
about the money that had been col
lected for building the new commun-
ity church, and were told that the
reverend had deposited money in his
own name but did not inform them
what fund it belonged to. So far
as they knew 1t might all be his
own or none of 1t his. He simply
deposited 1t when he wanted to, and
drew it on his own check when ne
liked. There was none left. Tough
luck! Tough luck!
Maybe he will come back. He and
his wife. An attorney was engaged
to attach some books In transit, but
when 1t came to making out the
papers and swearing to certain
things, nobody could be sure what
was In the boxes, and while they
were reasoning on all the ms and
outs of the case, the boxes were load
ed into a freight car bound for
Blackfoot, and so nothing was done.
people remembered that certain
persons who had given money for
the new church had changed their
minds and asked to have their money
returned, and it had been agreed to,
Mackay people are investigating now
to see where such money Is, ana
there is no doubt that 1t is In good
hands. Perfectly safe. While they
were ENDURING around, they found
that the new minister owed other
firms around town. Thinking 1t
might be more of treat to IND
somebody he was not in debt to,
thew set out to find one. 1t is likely
that he will come back at once II
NOT sooner. and on his arrival at
Mackay town he will make every
thing all right, including that dia-
mond excitement, the concert man
euver and the uneasiness SUFFERED Dy
each of his creditors thinking the
account might not be paid.
The church board are asking peo-
nile to put up money to pay the min.
ister,s back salary for couple OF
months when nobody went to hear
him. Which minister? Why the
last one. He owed so many people
about town, and the plan Is to col
lect enough to pay up the salary,
and then turn around and pay that
pro ratio on all his debts in Mackay
The other minister, who went away
with back salary unpaid did not owe
any bills around town, and Of course
he can wait. He had worked at the
carpenter trade and made enough to
match the wolf while he sang his
duet to the night winds, but this new
minister owed lot of the home peo-
pie and probably that consideration
moved them to go down in their
pockets and start some money going
in circle. The daughter Of the first
minister will probably teach school
another year to help her father and
mother and to support her younger
sister in college. And the first min
ister's daughter is fortunate to be
able to work, and willing, and sweet
tempered and spiritual thru 1t all,
for lust think of how much deeper
the sting of one allowed ones self to
lose that higher and abiding faith
and become embittered just because
material things go wrong and those
you trust prove faithless.

The business men of Firth have

time and It is now up to the bank
commissioners at Boise and those at
Washington to grant them charter.
A capitalist from Salt Lake, who is
friend OF A. L. Fisher, was in
Firth last week looking over the
field. He was so favorably impress
ed with Firth and the surrounding
country that he is perfectly willing
to put up all the money necessary
for a bank. He is not only willing
to put his money into a bank but
will help along financially any other
feasible proposition. Steps will be
taken at once to see what can be
done. Firth has a great territory
to pull from; all the farmers are in
prosperous condition financially
and with the new railroad being
built the outlook Is very bright.
