THIS MAN FAILS TO FLY.
Hangs Head Dcwnword for a Half Hour
!. Frem Hlsh Fridge. and is Rescued
With b fTcuffy.

NEW YORK, n. ", July Patrick
Cook wentto High Bridge and confidently
expected to fly from there to the Battery.
But as he was preparing to start he slipped
and fell, and it was miracle: that lie es-
caped falling to the piles of rocks on the
new speed way, $50 feet below. He caught
at the ropes,. hung head downward for
half an hour, thirty feet below the bridge
rail, aud was with difficulty rescued.
Cook is IS years old. and until recently
was q stonecutter. Now be is employed
as a gateman on the elevated road. He
began upon his flying machine when but
19 years of age. and since then the sub
ject has never been absent from his
thoughts. Recently he came TO the con-
ciusion that his sixteen years OF lebor had
ended in success. With mis- own hands he
had built parachute Of oiled canvas and
steel ribs and strong cords. and he took a
week from his work TO give the necessary
finishing touches. Accompanied by q
man whom he had hired to help him he
started for High Bridge. The para
chute was fastened to the aqueduct
by a rope that was to be loos-
ened by a jerk when Cook was in
position. Policemen near by suddenly
heard frantic cries Tor help. They found
that Cook had lost his footing and was
hanging helpless IN a tangie of ropes
thirty feet below them. He was taken to
the police station and locked up and later
arraig gned and discharged with warning.

WRIGHTS. CAL, July L-Mr. Bioletti
spoke on fungus parasites" az the Far
mer's Summer school this afternoon.
While fungi are plants, said ne. they pos
ssss 10 ehlorophyIl and therefore cannot
live on inorganic matter. Tae common
moids which grew upon bread, meat and
fruit, live npon dead organic matter, while
others grow only on living PLANS. The
lecturer explained the various ways in
which fungi attack plants. some by enter
ing the plant calls and robbsng the plant
of nouris from within, Others stick
on the outside of the leaves, SO that the
nourishment in the cells passes into the
fungi by o.mosis, Others exude a poison,
while still Others act in different ways.
Many practical suggestions were given
for combating fungus diseases, and the
various preventive and com bative meas
ures we're summarized as follows: De-
struction OF spores attached TO the seed,
killing OF myceiium on outside OF leaves,
prevention OF deTeIorment OF spores on
leaves, destruction OF affected iiss14, je.
struction of dead vegetable latter h&r-
boring spores, destruction ot &C II pie
mentary hosts, rotation and diversified
ton OF crops and cultivation of immune
varieties. He strongly advised farmers

eases.

FRESNO, CAL, July 1.-Coroner Long
has returned from Warthan Canyon on
the West Side, where he held an inquest
over the body Of Lloyd Duke, who was
killed by Leon Hill last Sunday night
The evidence tended to prove that the
murder was cold-bIooded and pre-
med lated in fact. the circumstances ap-
pears to be such that the murderer will in
all probability pay the penalty on the
gaiiows-
Feeling on the West Side, where both
Duke and Hill lived, is very strong against
the slayer Duke having been held in high
esteem by all. There is no doubt that II
Constable Atkinson had not tsken prom pt
measures TO get the prisoner out of the
reach of the citizens of WarIhan Canyon
they would have iynched Hill. The pre-
liminary examination Of the murderer
will be held at Coalinga next Wednesday,
and strong guard Will be sent with the
prisoner from the Sheriff's office. The
officers o not treat lightly the ire of the
rugged citizens of the coast range cany on.
1t is gathered from the evidence ad-
duced at the inquest that for several hours
Hill had persistentiy tried 10 provoke
Duke 20 quarrel and fight, in order to
have Q pretext on which ~ shoot him. He
kept up q system of annoyances. and
finally succeeded in exasperating Duke.
Then be shot him. Duke lived until the
forenoon, his last statement being:
