THE B. Y. ACADEMY.
The Opening Ceremonies of This Educational
Institution.

The opening ceremonies of the first term
of the fourteenth year at the Brigham
Young academy, which took place on Mon
day, the 5th inst, were published, though
perhaps in the midst of the election excite
ment were not so fully considered as would
otherwise have been the case.
The academy circular issued some time
ago contains the calendar, names of trus-
tees and other officers of the institution,
with a general sketch of the rules of order,
classlfications and curriculum of the sew
eral departments, which must convince the
most skeptical that this is good place for
the moral and intellectual training of young
people, There is one feature of the
academy that may differ somewhat
from other similar institutions, and that
is the rules of order as published are strict
ly enforced, not particularly by the
austere commands Of the principal or
teachers, but by the peculiar methods
adopted the students soon learn to regard
their teachers as their best friends, and
mere suggestion of propriety or the proper
department of young men and young ladies
emanating from Professor Maeser is ac-
cepted as gospel truth by the students, and
by following and living up to these rules of
conduct, both in and out of school, the stu
dents become exemplary members of so
ciety. The students soon learn to regard
the principal and teachers with degree of
reverence, and not only obey the somewhat
strict rules themselves, but in a measure
enforce the same with their associates,
both in and out of school. 1t is true, some
not familiar with the academy have re
garded the teachers and students as
proud and naughty, exclusive and I'M
sociable, but let any who think so
try the experiment once and go there

NINE. CARLOTTA.
One of the great dangers of ballooning is
this graphing with the earth on the descent
and many balloonist has been split out after
having made thus far successful trip. In
1884 Nine. Carlotta went up in the Zephyr
from Saratoga. When she descended, look
ing about for favorable spot, she saw three
country boys standing gaping at the novel
sight of a balloon. She called to them to
seize and hold the balloon the moment ii
touched the ground. Two of the lads obeyed
her request, when sudden squat drove the
balloon bounding over the ground and fences
for almost mile At times it was fifty feet
from the ground, yet the terrified lads chung
tenaciously to the edge of the basket; they
were hurried along at railroad speed A
heavy piece Of timber sped into sight. Car
lotta made desperate effort to land and was
successful, though tree which the balloon
grazed tore the Zephyr from top to bottom.
Carlotta and the boys escaped unhurt. But
the boys declared that they would prefer not
to attempt to anchor another balloon.
SAVED BY FARMERS WIFE.
Two years ago an ascent was made by an
aeronaut named Moore with several others.
One of the party related the peril they were
in upon their descent.
"Hazen sings out, We're going too fast
There is much excitement, but it Gains in a
minute, for the instrument records falling
Again the signal officer gives warning, We
pre falling dreadfully, Il and losses out hand
full of circulars They shoot upward Moore,
half aroused, realized the peril and calls all
hands to drop ballast. The sand falls scarce
iy faster than the car, and the earth seems to
fly upward; rivers, fields, houses spread out
as vast map, growing terribly each minute.
Moore sings out: Something wrong, boys; if
we don't stop her, we are lost;' 1000 feet
from earth, and still tumbling madly; 700,
and the drag rope touches earth; 500, and the
checl; is perceptible. At 400 the balloon
skins along, falling no more; the 300 feet of
drag rope resting on the earth gave the relief.
More ballast was thrown out, and the air
ship again assembled, this time to 5000 feet.
The aeronaut then noticed that the bag was
sagging, and announced that landing must
be made. When within a few hundred feet
of land the drag rope SKINNED along the
earth, making trail for four miles, and in
its wake followed crowd of natives. Sew
eral times they caught the rope and were
hurled roughly TO the ground.
At August PALMS farm, seven miles from
Centralia, Ills, the farmers wife gave the
tree and brought the monster up with jerk.
The wind caught the folds Of the balloon and
it scared like kite. For an hour the farm
ers tugged at the rope, and when the aero
naut pulled the rip cord TO bis amazement he

cal science, but it must be admitted that
large number of aeronauts act upon the same
motive as one who jumps to catch the bar IN
the flying trapeze feat
AN ADVENTURE THAT ENDED WELL
Some six years ago two men, Castor lis
sander and Frederick Cover husband of
the American prima donna Nordica), ascend
ed at Auteuill France, on the day of fete.
While at great altitude they struck one of
those chasms of rarefed air which are sup
posed by aeronauts to exist at great heights
in the atmosphere Suddenly" said NJ.
Cover, in relating the circumstance, 1--WE
felt breath of cold and biting air, as though
the world had revolved beneath US and
brought US over the pole. At the same mo-
ment the needle upon vertical scale-from
which had been reading indications of level
began to travel with startling speed. A
sound like the roar of surf filled our ears for
an instant and then gave place to the noise
of the fete, which now had swelled into a
cry, as it seemed, from every living thing be-
low. Tissandier threw out sand, and the
sand flew up in our faces.
"Our breath came short and hard, and we
felt the rushing air as on steamer against
the wind We were falling, suddenly, as
though the great globe above our heads had
given way. Yet nothing visible had hap
pened, save that the under surface of the en-
velope had all at once grown hollow and
wrinkled, like the face of an aged man. The
clouds were gone, as by magic, and the earth
was rushing at US, with its thousand voices in
full cry. Tissandier stood cool and firm, deal
ing out ballast with steady hand and counting
the bags that remained.
"'Stand by the anchor he said, quietly, as
if at his study table, and be ready to cut
away when tell you.
Down we went; the drag rope touched
the earth-trailed across the fields, with
scarcely perceptible difference in our fall.
The ground seemed alive with men hurrying
from every side, with here and there horse
man among them. A meadow was just be-
meath, and quick glance beyond showed the
edge of forest. The balloon trembled as
from blow, and our speed across the field
was suddenly doubled. We had fallen into a
squall.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-08-11

The first trial was not a success, but the
second was. The balloon shot up almost
straight to distance of fully 10000 feet. 1t
then settled about 400 feet, and hung like c
ball in the heavens The anxious and excit
ed crowd of people on the ground watched
the balloon with bated breath. The report
ers were provided with powerful glasses, and
saw Hogan make ready to jump
He'll weaken" said some one.
mo- cried another watcher, 'he is get
ting out.n
The chute was closed. Hogan drew it w
till he reached the ropes to which he dashed
himself. He did not expect the chute to open
for the first 200 or 800 feet, and he was afraid
he might be shaken off the bar by the rapid
ity of the fall unless he took the precaution
to fasten himself When he stepped on the
edge of the car TO spring off into space some
of the spectators grew pale and sick. Surely
this daring man was going to certa in death.

The chute has caught the air. 1t opens like

downward was almost stopped with a jerk.
Then the chute settles down to steady jour
ney earthward with its passenger, and il
three minutes from the time the reckless mar
left the balloon he landed safely in an oper
field some little distance from where the
ascent was made.

The Gas and Oil Witches.

Messrs. Overmeyer & Myers, of the Gas
and Oil Locating Co., of Lindsey, Sandusky
County, Ohio, by some dubbed the "gas
and oil Witches" were in the city Tuesday,
and in company with several of our citizens
took drive over some of the country in and
around Napoleon. These gentlemen claim
they can locate oil and gas territory, and use
in their maneuvers an innocent steel roo
with magnet on the end. In their pream'
bulations, with the use of the rod, they point
ed out several localities to the gentlemen
accompanying them where gas could bt
found by drilling for it. One of the locali
ties is in the Sheffield addition, on GROUND
which Mr.. Sheffield at one time offered for
court house cite, and several on the soutf
side of the river, on the farms of F. F. KnipE
and S. NJ. Heller especially. The witches
were quite positive that the citizens of Napo
leon could find all the gas they wanted. bI
boring for it in any of these localities point
ed out. Let the business proceed.

Notice TO Land Buyers.

Henry county is one of the best agricultur-
al counties in the State of Ohio, if not the
United States. She makes the bold assertion
that she can raise larger and better crops,
more bushels to the acre without the expense
and use of any fertilizer, than any other
county known anywhere, land that will pro-
duce to bushels of clover seed to the acre,
rs to 100 bushels of corn, 25 to 40 bushels of
wheat with just ordinary farming, using no
fertilizers whatever, is not plenty. Yet
farm after farm in Henry county will do this.
Yet land is cheaper than anywhere else. A
single crop has been known to pay the price
of the land on which it was raised. The very
best land can be bought yet for 80 to 30 dol
lars per acre. But this will not be long SO.
Every foot of her farming lands will bring
at least one hundred dollars per acre inside
of five years, and why not when with good
farming you can pay for the land in from
to years at the longest. Then, too, it, is
one of the healthiest cou1ties in the State
with few boxes of Saur & Ralsley's blood
and liver pills you will be able to keep OF
all the malaria which will trouble you, for
many years.

Firenlen's Fair.

II EECHaCh . n ~AAs
The Firemen's Fair is in full blast at Rink
Opera House this week, with fair attend
ance so far. The SIRE laddies" are doing
their utmost to make the occasion one OF
pleasure and interest to all who give them
their presence. Tom Tanner and William
spengler are candidates for the fine gold
watch, and the friends of each are laboring
hard to secure the prize, and are meeting
with good success. Charley Sweet has given
the boys the benefit of one of his beautifui
center tables, which he has up for the iucKy
number holder to take. It is fine piece OF
workmanship and will make some one happy
in it's possession. The chances are bus So
cents each and are going rapidly. There are
other c-editable lotteries and of course the
lively wheels of fortune, which afford much
amusement by their peculiar capers. The
city band discourse fine and stirring music
every evening, adding much to the enjoy
ment of the entertainment. We hope the
boys will be literally patronized throughout
the week, and that sum sufficient will be
-aised for the purpose which they wish TO put
it to, that of entertaining visiting firemer

Land Appraisers.
MICHAEL CONRAD.

Next year new appraisement of the real
estate in Ohio will take place, and for this
purpose land appraisers will be elected at the
regular election next November. We believe
that it is the duty of the county commission
ers at their June session to divide the county
into suitable districts and give notice by pub
fishing the same in the papers, in order that
an appraiser may be selected in each district
at the fall election. Heretofore it has been
the custom to denominate each township a
district, and the village of Napoleon dis
trict. The judges of election are required to
keep a separate poll book of the same, which
shall be returned to the county auditor, who,
with the clerk and probate judge, will declare
the result. The auditor is required to furnish
the appraisers with abstracts, books, instruc-
tions. etc, as soon as practicable after the
first day of March, 1890, when they shall enter
upon the discharge of their duties. The mat
ter of selecting these officials is one that de-
msnds the consideration of the public, and
none but men of sound judgment, who un'
derstand the value of real estate, should be
elected.
