BALLooNISTs NARROW ESCAPE.

Miss carmo and Prof. Wait Nearly Lose
Their Lives by Ins n m cient Initiation.
Mile. Carmo. the lady aeronant had
narrow escape at North Park Wednes-
day. The balloon WAS inflated between
5 and 6o'clock. and Miss Carmo and
Curtis Wait made the ascension. 1t
seems that the big air ship WAS released
before il had been sufficiently inflated
or the ropes of the parachute properly
adjusted, for when the balloon had
risen about one thousand feet it began
to descend. The aeronauts were forced
to make their jumps, though they were
scarcely high enough To- make n good
drop. Their parachutes failed 60 fill
properly. Both descended with great
rapidity, but 10y fortunate circumstances
neither was seriously injured. Mise
Carno landed in the top of a bag tree,
and her fall was broken by the foliage.
She fell TO the ground, but was able tn
get up and walk; and only complained
of feeling little sore. She says ths.
the tree-;op saved her life.
Wait dropped into the middle of the
little artificial lake made by the dam
ming of the creek in the rear of the
Soldiers Home, and swan aebore un-
hurt. Ii was miraculous escape for
the daring aercnaut- from at least ser-
Gus, IL not fatal, injury.

two rattle snakes were killed. It's \
dreadful thing 70 contemplate
the results of being bitten
by snakes. for there is supposed t. be
no whisky in camp. 1t is altogether
probable that General Robinson didn't
think OF that contingency when he
made bis order. BE that as it may,
things are busy everywhere. Today
the officer 10 Lieut.. Col. VIM. T. Hake.
OF Grand Rapids. Major VIM. 4. Hakc,
the senior medical officer. is kicking u
good deal about the medicine stock. He
says 1t has outiiyed Its usefulness long
ago. and scarcely an article in the liet is
fresh. Governor Wlnans made his
appearance this afternoon and was
welcomed with 3 salute. He expressed
great pleasure at the ship-shap~ order
of tnings. A college boy once said that
"if it were net for study and recita-
tions. college life wouldn't be 80 bad. 4"
If it were not for drill, camp life would
be royal pudding. There are no

point a good deal of stress is laid, rs
