...legitimate purpose. Of course it is most likely that such things as these are due to thoughtlessness, and so for a time they may be excused, byt before long, every one who frequents the gymnasium should know by heart the unwritten code which governs its use. In particular no one should occupy any one piece of apparatus more than two or three minutes,-unless we except the chest weights, and in the intervals of exercise one should be careful not to interfere with others.
