And yet, by raising one's self leisurely upon the toes In a perpendicular position several times a day this deformity could be easily rectified. To do-this properly one must be in a perfectly upright position, the arms dropping at the side, the heels well together, and the toes forming an angle of 45 deg. The rise should be made very slowly and from the balls of both the same way, without swaying the body out of pore on the 24th Inst feet, and the descent should be accomplished in its perpendicular. The exercise is not an ensy one, but may be accomplished by perseverance and patience. It can be modified, too, by stand. ing first on one leg, then on the other.

The Achinese killed the Capisin, John Woods, and the male, Mr. Alexander, a noitve of Aberdeen, and twenty-two others of the crew who were presumably Asiatics, They also wounded fifteen albers of the passengers

After this slaughter, the Achinese left the steamer in beats, making for the Achren coast in the neighborhood of Edie, and taking with them several The steamer afterwards fell into Dutch hands, and the wounded are being cared for Further parti culars gleaned by the Straits Times are to the effect that the steamer Rajah Kongsea Atjeh wan plundered and then ran sibere by the Achinese now on the scene, pratecitng the vessel and rendering assistance generally.
