AParrot Prevented a Panic

The domineering parrot prevented
dire confusion Monday morning in the
Windemere apartment house, New York.
The building is the home of artists,
poets and persons who give afternoon
teas and serve Ibsen and saltiness.
Manager c. S. Goodale was aroused at
$50 by the cry of "Fire!' and the patter
OF bare feet on the tiled floor, and found
the hallway full Of smoke. He beheld
two of the tenants, Mrs. Archer and heI
daughter, who live on the same floor
wringing their hands.
"Mr. Goodale, Mr.. Goodale!" they said
III one breath, "the house is on fret"
Shut up!" echoed harsh voice.
Sir exclaimed the frightened ten
ants, "what-"
Shut up"
1t was the parrot that spoke. Tenants
lifted up their screens, and the parrot
in voice strangely like that of Mr.
Goodale, said, Shut up!"
There are about sixty young womer
in the house who write for the maga-
zines, sing in concerts and write poems
with blue ribbons around them. They
nearly stampeded, but the voice of the
parrot brought them to their senses ano
all danger of a panic was averted.-

vance any difiiculties which would be
likely to assail the combination that
stands on Vanity Fair In the exposition
grounds.
The only seeming impediment to the
entire success and great popularity Of
the seesaw seems to be that on the face
Of It it is what the Tennessee mountain
eer calls "scary." When one stands on
the ground and looks up at the top Of
the tower and remembers that the swing
of the great truss beam would take him
200 feet from the earth with nothing but
air between him and terra firma, he is
ant to hesitate. There really will be no
danger, but the trouble is. 1t 10 likely
to seem as If there were. and to most
people that Is as bad as II what was
feared really existed.
If the career of the seesaw at the Ten
nessee Exposition Is a success 1t will
mean a new era in amusement enter
prises, for there is no reason why these
mechanical teeters cannot be construct
ed on a much smaller scale. There are
a great many people who possess so
many years they cannot bring them
selves to confess that there still clings
to them that innate love of lettering
which when children they were able to
crafty. If the seesaw makes its ap-
pearance in great cities, the chances are
that there will be no age limit upon the
passengers.
The herald., 1897-05-02

SO slowly will the beam move that the
sense Of motion to the occupants Of the
cars will be entirely lost. This Ii 30 ar
ranged in order that very many persons
whom a journey into the air of this sort
would be apt to annoy with nausea may
be free from any such Internal disturb
ance. The view to be obtained from these
cars will be of extraordinary beauty.
The scene Of the battlefields Of Nash
Vile Is visible to the passengers, as is the
Hermitage" former home Of Andrew
jackson, Belle Meade, the famous stock
farm Of Tennessee. and many other
points of interest.
The machinery that will move the
huge seesaw is located at the bottom of
the steel tower and enclosed in a small
house. 1t is very simple, for while the
tower and the huge truss beam are mon
sters of their sort, so delicate will be the
adjustment that the task OF the machin-
cry in moving them will be compara-
lively easy. Every one who has ever
teetered, and that means almost all the
persons who read this article. under
stands how necessary it was that the
board should be nicely balanced upon
the fence, or upon whatever object was
its central point of support. This is the
idea which has been observed In the
construction of the giant seesaw.
It seems wonderful when one thinks
of it that so great an affair as this could

pe dOJuSle with SuCIl IIleCudIlCdl ulCely.
Yet Mr.. c. H. Devallos of Nashville,
whose idea it is, says that were it not for
that same delisate adjustment the see
saw would be an utter failure. The
question naturally arises, iS it possible
for the steel beam to slip, and thus de-
stroy the balance and get beyond the
control of the machinery? The inventor
says, however, that owing to the tre-
mendous tensile strength of the Struct-
ure, especially at the point where any
strain that may possibly develop that an
accident of the sort suggested is abso-
lutely impossible.
AT the time of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition in Chicago, or rather some
months previous thereto an idea some
thing like that which resulted in the con-
struction Of the seesaw was broached.
The builders and mechanical experts who
were asked to pass upon the idea laughed
at the plan and said that even in this
era of wonderful creations the successful
carrying out of such a project was en-
tirely out of the question. 1t simply could
not be done. Mr.. Devallos has, how
ever, shown that the seeming impossi-
BILE is clearly practicable, and his see
saw promises to be one of the greatest,
| IL not the greatest, attraction at the
Tennessee Centennial.
The contractors promise to have the
| seesaw finished early in May, for the
exposition opens May 1st and continues
until the first of November. From pres
ent indications their task will surely be
completed, and it is likely by the time
this reaches the public the first trial
will have taken place. There is no rea-
| son to doubt that the seesaw will be
an entire success Models, which ar.
exact duplicates of the towering struc.
ture, have worked perfectly. All sorts
of experiments have been tried with

is a nightly enlarged affair that is ex-
actly similar in principle to the sport
almost every child has enjoyed, which
is known as "teeterlrg." 1t is the nine
teenth century evolution of the pine
board and the rail fence to the mighty
steel columns that support two huge
cars, each of which will accommodate
fifty persons.
The see-saw, as the accompanying il
Illustrations show, is composed Of a CEN
trail tower and a bull steel beam. This
steel tower is thirty feet square at the
base and seventy-five feet high to the
upper pin. On this~pin the BEAM which
is of steel, swings vertically. 1t is rec
tangular in sections, is thoroughly
braced, and Is 160 feet long. 1t is swung
on it's axis by means Of two steel seq
ments, which are affairs resembling
huge croquet wickets, the ends of which
fasten into the BEAM and the rounded
center slides over a portion of the tow
er which is prepared to receive such ac-
tion. Technically speaking, pinions
driven by the operating machine en-
gage the two segments.
10 the ends or the big steel beam
cars are suspended-one car at each
end. Each car is capable of holding
fifty persons, and can be lifted alter
nately to a point 200 feet above the
ground. This is the maximum height.
The length of the steel beam is also
200 feet The cars used are similar to
those attached to the Ferris wheel at
Chicago. AS the Illustration given here
with shows, when one car is at the
maximum height the other rests upon
the earth. The beams will move very
slowly, the time necessary for the as
cent and descent from the ground to
the maximuH height and vice versa
being about five minutes.

Rupture Cured

LOS ANGELES. CAL, Jan. %. 1897.
Prof. Joseph Fandrey. s2l South Broadway.
Los Angeles, CAL:
Dear Sir-I wish to write and thank you
for your wonderful cure of my case Of
rupture which you have been treating.
Since you pronounced me cured on jan
uary 1st and discarded my truss, I must
say that do feel that I am absolutely
cured, for since have been going without
a truss feel as well as over did in my
life and have no signs of any weakness
I think your cure all the more remarka-
BILE, for when l ruptured myself two Of the
best physicians said I would never get over
it without an operation. That was over
four years ago, and today am q well man,
and wish to say to those whom 1t may con-
Germ, that when I was tempted as q last
resort to try your truss found it per-
fection discomfort.
l have tried a great many kinds Of store
trusses and have found them all more or
less instruments of torture so that felt
that in your truss I really found bless
ing.
I earnestly request that all who wish will
call on me and ! shall be only too glad
to explain the advantages OF your truss
and treatment. So again let me thank you
for your cure; also for your kind care
while taking your treatment.
Yours respectfully,

number the Atlantic Monthly contains
two instructive articles on life in rural
New England and the problems pre-
sented by the rush Of the population
to great cities. One Of these articles Is
study of remote village which has
not been reached by modern methods OF
life. The native characteristics, which
were not very long ago shared by large
part of the rural population of New
England, now seem so remote as almost
to be regarded as curiosities. The SYM
pathetic sketch shows the life Of the
village in all its phases. The other study
is Of a farming town which has indeed
kept somewhat apace with modern prog
ress, but still retains the features Of old
rural life. Its accurate and faithful
pictures of these country towns now
seem almost like descriptions of another
civilization, so far removed are they
from the characteristic modern hustle Of
city life. All the important problems
which have risen in the recent shifting
of population and changes Of industry
are illustrated in these sketches-the
drifting away from the old religious
faiths, the loss of leadership to a GER
tain extent. the decline Of local patriot
ism from its old fervor. Yet there are
many attractive features of this life-the
leisure that the people have, their good
nature, the companionship and the old
fashioned neighborly qualities which
they retain.
In contrast with these studies is de-

Dear Sir-It gives me great pleasure
to certify to the complete restoration Of
my health. For several years past I was
troubled with weak lungs and conclud-
ed to try the desert climate, hoping to
be benefited. While there contracted
a severe cold, and one year ago was TAX
en- with a severe hemorrhage of the
lungs. My physician advised me to try
another climate. came to this city and
during the summer consulted several
physicians. each one pronouncing my
case consumption. I gradually grew
worse. my hemorrhages continuing. and
was troubled with profuse night sweats
accompanied by coughing. Fortunately I
heard, through your patients. Of the
wonderful cures you were effecting, and
my friends persuaded me to try your
treatment. I commenced on January II,
and after taking your treatment two
months my hemorrhages. night sweats
and coughing discontinued and was
steadily increasing in weight, and have
continued improving until the presen:
time.
To any one suffering with pulmonary
troubles would most heartily recon-
mend your skillful treatment. as know
1t has saved my life.

A GREAT REDWOOD SLAB,

a NHEAl HEDWOOD SkAB.
From One OF Washinston's Largest Fig
Trees
In New Whatcom, seaport town
and the county seat of Whatcom coun-
ty, the northwest county in Washing
ton and the United States, is erected on
the outer edge of sidewalk on one of
the principal street corners an immense
slab or section of one of Washington's
biggest red fir trees, says the Mining
and Scientific Press. The slab, being
cut directly across the diameter of the
tree, like a butchers cutting block, the
greatest diameter extending upward,
the bark being on it's entire circumfer-
ence. A stranger naturally feels in
clined to walk up to the slab and meas
ure it by it's height, and is surprised to
find that it would take another man
standing on his head to extend to the
top of it. Then he steps back a pace
and reads the following inscription,
neatly painted on a board attached to
the face of the slab: ''Tree from
Loops Ranch Forks, Whatcom county,
Wash. The tree was 465 feet high, 220
feet to the first limb and 80 feet II
inches in circumference at the base. If
sawed into lumber it would make &c.
345 feet. 1t would build eight cottages
two stories high of seven rooms each.
The tree is about 480 years old, accord
ing to the rings. If sawed into inch
square strips it would fill ten ordinary
cars, and the strips would reach from
Whatcom to China" The section
shows the tree sound to the core. i,
