Mr. Poll has secured for this week a great vaudeville conformation. He presents the great Eddy family, the remarkable quartet of acrobats who have delighted America and England with their daring feats. Miss Eddy is former resident of New Haven, and she may be expected to do some ex- ceptionally good work here, just to demonstrate that she knew what she was about when she made acrobatics her profession. If anyone doubts that Miss Eddy is now the best lady acrobat in the profession, let them observe the feats she performs with the other mem bers of the Eddy family. Then there are the Crescent Brothers, the premier eccentric musicians from France, who give a unique musical speciality, full of novel sensations. Then there are Col lins and Thompson, the clever jolliers; De Boe. the wonderful head balancer ard trapeze artist? Aida Armour, the swell young male lii. 1ersonator; Ford and Frances, the refined sketch ar lists, and Fry and the River Sisters who have reputation all over the world. Undoubtedly the combination secured for this week at the Wonder land will prove a great drawing at- traction,

 At these attitudes the temperature Is always the same. whereas at the earth's surface 1t Is constantly chang ing. This Is due to the topography of the country. latitude. and more espec- ially to the advance of cyclonic and an- ti-cyclonic areas.
 From the experience of Glashler 1t will be seen that a person can ascend nearly seven miles above the earth's surface without losing consciousness or seriously endangering his life"
