Tired by her eXettions of the day, Miss

was awakened by Il terrible noise, which
she soon realized was cats. She was horr-

proverbs and gave to the two cats the
varlegated appearance of an easter egg,

Then Miss Waxter again sought her
couch and slumber, only to be awakened
at sunrise, by the report of gun. A
second report convinced her that there was
some trouble at the house of her neighbor,
Mr.. Stetson, querulous old man who
lived alone. So she hastily dressed and
fastened to ascertain whether Mr.. Stetson
had been murdered or had committed
suicide. But she found that the irate Mr..

potent proverbs, which she painted in bold

out that many children would see each cat

would tell other children, and how this

A good time was the order of the
evening, and the program was car

of people left the city at 7:20

were served late in the evening.

has been in California since Nov.
ember trying to get funds for his
orphanage where he is caring for
over forty poor boys and girls. At
the present time his wife and
brother are in charge of the orphan
age. While in San Francisco Mr.
Hongo succeeded in getting quite a
little money collected together but
not enough for the wants of the
institution he represents. He is
most enthusiastic in his work and
has put all of his own money into
it. When seen Saturday Mr..
Hongo was with Rev. II. Kihara,
the japanese. Methodist preacher
who is showing him the beauties OF
the city. Mr.. Hongo will probably
return to Japan ON the City of

THE BALLOON ASCENSION.
A Pleasant Outing on Saturday-PrO-
lesser Price Wonder.
Ascends 1000 Feet in the Air-Success-
full Parachute Jump.

Prof. James ". Price, the aero
maui, made a successful ascent at
Remond Grove Saturday at APO
p. N.
Two trains were run from the O..
r. q. L. Co. to the grounds in order
to accommodate the people. Meth
er train was crowded due, possibly,
from the fact that people who take
an interest in aerostatics had not
recovered from the shock expert
encd at van Tassells death a half
dozen years ago.
The work of initiating the mon
ster balloon began soon after the
arrival of the second train at the
grove. Professor Price and Will
fred Burns were directing a half
dozen men in their duties of hold
ing down the big bag while smoke
and hot air from nearby furnace
was pouring into it. AS the folds
of canvas filled the bag swayed
slightly through the force of the
light southerly breeze.
It was a good indication, for
there was no danger OF the aeronaut
being carried out to sea. Professor
Price had informed his friends on
Friday night that in the event OF
the wind carrying him seward he
would cut lose with his parachute
at five hundred feet and come
down.
Promptly at APO p. N. and after
he had raised the trapeze bar to a
height convenient for him to sit
down he gave the word ''let CO."
Burns shouted good luck Jim"
and the band played Cup in a
Balloon" and the enormous bag
shot up with a rush. 1t was
fascinating sight but to those who
had seen van Tassell 60 to his
death there was a certain uncon-
querable awe about it all that was
appalling. But Professor Price !
knew Ills DuSlncSS anu liz gave VIC
people the worth of their money.
At an elevation of, perhaps, 5000 |
feet Price pulled a rope and the |
parachute became detached from
the balloon; hundred feet down
it opened and the professor began a
descent as graceful as that of a
bird. The balloon started upward |
for a moment and then gradually |
collapsed, the smoke and hot air
came out and the canvas twisted |
up like a snake, turned upside
down and began folding up so that
when it reached the ground a half
mile away it was as neatly piled |
up as if it had been through the
hands of dry goods clerk. The
parachute dropped with the profess
sor at least half mile from where
the balloon fell. Mr.. Smith the
Pearl City pineapple planter fol-
lowed the parachute on horseback
and reached the professor about
the time he landed.
It is understood Professor Price
will give another ascent within the
week so as to give persons who
neglected Saturdays opportunity a
chance to witness the performance.
