Zimmy called at the offices of the 8. c. M. Post yesterday and outlined his plans for his attempt to swim the Channel. After he had introduced himself our representative was at a loan to know how to invite the leg- Jos marvel to sit down. He managed to stutter, "Can you sit down" and as a reply was surprised to see Zimmy elimb nimbly onto a chair.
