AT LIGHTHOUSE POINT.
Special Big Attraction at the Point
 All This Week

Special Big Attraction at the Point
 All This Week.
 At Lighthouse Point the opportunity has again come for everyone to have treat every day during this week. Prof North, from Sweden, will give free exhibitions of high and trick div Ing at Lighthouse Point every after noon and evening this week, diving from the S5-foot tower used by him two weeks ago. Exhibitions will be given at 4:3O and S:30 D. m. In the evening Prof. Norin gives not only his high and trick diving, but also his won derful illuminated fire dive, leaping from the tower wrapped in flames of fire. This will positively be the last opportunity to see these wonderful flights through space.
 Prof. Norin's exhibitions two weeks ago attracted large crowds to Light house Point, and undoubtedly a much larger crowd will be attracted there this week. This wonderful diving can be better understood when one consid- CTS that the distance is about the same as from the sidewalk to the top of the flagstaff on the Insurance building, Everybody taking a trip to Lighthouse Point any afternoon or evening this week will feel amply repaid with this wonderful free exhibition of daring, which is attempted by few and ex- celled by none.
