who witnessed the endurance

more and wider waters for young
Watkins to conquer. The pool Is
about 125 feet long, so the 100
length would be 12,500 feet,which
Is about two miles. Jake Harri-

jumped Into the falls pool and

Ooldthwalte and swimming
across the lake over there, but
may make it a round trip across
the lake nad back to make the
demonstration worthwhile.—8t*r
