HINTS FOR GREEN CYCLISTS.

Don't try to catch the handle-bar

Don't look around to see if the hind

Don't be surprised if the front wheel
shows a disposition to turn into yard

Always fall on your right shoulder
and do not let your ear strike the
ground till a few seconds later.
When you lose a pedal don't get off
and go back to look for it. It's there
on the machine still. and if you'll feel
for it long enough you'll find it again.
Should you find runaway horse on
your trail, keep close to the curb until
he has passed. Then make squirt and
seize him by the tail and put on the
brake.
Never kill a pedestrian when it can
be avoided, but when you do kill one,

TO MAKE A DROP OF 5000 FEET.
William D. Felts Will Test His Aero
plane at Pixies Peak.

Denver. July 16.-Willlam ID. Felts,
an expert with the aeroplane, has de-
clded to put the machine to practical
test by making an ascension from the
top of Pixies Peak, and then dropping
to the earth at some considerable dis
lance away, making the fall about
5000 feet. He does not hesitate to say
that the trip is without any special
danger, as he has the utmost confidence
in the kite.
This is the first attempt of the kind in
the world, as many have contended
than the light air at the altitude Of
$4,000 feet would preclude any ascen-
sion on large scale. The attempt
will be made next week, as soon as
Felts can perfect the arrangement of
teroplaDes sufficient to carry his weight.
The feat will be witnessed by many
persons interested in aeronauties, and
che army officers who are now at
Broadmoor at the base of Pixies Peak
Tor the summer, will make a formal
report.
