The river itself is a panorama ofrare beauty. Its headwaters are in ascries of mountain springs and lakes, andin its course through the valley it firstmeanders across the fiat lands, then sinksinto a narrow, deep bowl, to widen pres-ently into a placid lake and finally, be-fore its exit into the level country beyondthe valley, it tumbles over a ledge ofrocks, and falls, a seething, roaring mass, to its rocky bed fullfifty feet below. In the quiet portions the boating is charming ■ KALEVIMA
