parachute that he had cut loose
= from a balloon at Glen Park, and
went down like rocket, a distance of
thirty feet, striking upon his head on a
pile of loose dirt and rocks. A thousand
spectators witnessed the thrilling sight.
Earlston went up a distance of 1000 feet
with the balloon. When he left the
ground he had hold with his teeth of
rope attached to the bar of the para,
chute. He at once set to work to give
an exhibition of his skill and performed
a number Of tricks in midair. At the
height of about 1000 feet he cut loose.
The parachute opened promptly and he
began to journey downward, holding
on to the parachute bar. AS he came
down, not any faster than usual the bar
of the parachute struck against one of
the new Mission street roads trolley

left hand through it and claspcd my
wrist with the other hand. When
the wave struck me it seemed to come
as fast as a train of cars, and it
caught me with force enough to
distance up the pier, where 1 landed
fat on my face. l managed to grab
the plank walk that runs to the end
of the wharf and held on until the
second wave passed over me. 1 then
ran for the shore, but had to stop
and hold on to the rail, as there were
other big waves following me-some
six or seven in all There was a crowd
of people near the shore end of the
wharf, and from there they watched
the poor boy drown.
Il ran to the life-saving station and
notified them of the accident, and
they put out a boat at once, but
could not find the boy. They succeeded
only in finding two hats. Mine was
lost.
when I yelled for the others to
look out for the big wave, the boy
who was drowned had just landed a
fish and was batting his hook, and
when he saw the wave coming he
seemed to be paralyzed with fear, as
he made no effort to save himself,
but stood there as if transfxed.
When l saw him after the first wave
had washed him overheard he was
only 1eW feet from the wharf and
seemed to be swimming easily, and I
thought that, with another stroke or
two, he would have reached the
wharf. Just then the second wave
struck him and when l saw him again
he was at least twenty yards away
1t was while l was running to the
station that l last saw him. He had
hen quit swimming and was making
his last struggle"
The fate of the unknown lad is
similar to that of more than dozen
others on the same pier. The COM
pany has posted a notice forbidding
persons from walking out on the
bridge, but nevertheless thousands
of people climb upon the structure
every Sunday. The drowned boy
wore a checkered suit of clothes.

on. He is said to have been about Il
years of age. 1t was reported that

~ swept without warning about 10
~ o'clock yesterday morning over
II the Olympic Salt Water Com
pany's pier near the Cliff House,
carrying an unknown boy to his death
in the ocean, knocking down and
bruising two others and thoroughly
drenching the other men and boys on
the structure.
The boy that was drowned was
not more than IA years old. He had
gone to the end of the pier some
time before the first wave struck with
Otto Barth, aged II, residing at 210
Fourteenth street, and G. f. Boards
ley, aged 10. of $40 Fourth street.
They walked to the extreme end,
,When they threw in their lines and
began to fish. They were unacquaint-
ed with one another. They had fished
in silence for about fifteen minutes
and the unknown was in the act of
unhooklng fish, when Barth OBJ
served tremendous wave rolling in.
He shouted a warning and seized a
rlngbOlt of the pier TO which he cIung.
The next instant the gigantic flood
OF water struck the pier. Barth was
torn from his holding place and
dashed face downward on the pier
but the force of the water had been
spent and his life was saved. Boards

distance, though not into the water.
When the warning was given the
unknown boy did not seem to realize
the danger which was close at hand
He stood tranSfiXed, and made no eff
fort whatever to secure him self. When
the wave struck him he was lifted
on it's bosom and carried into the sea.
For a while he swan herOically, and
had almost reached a pile when a
second wave dashed up and took him
beyond the reach of help. There was
a crowd on the pier a short distance
off, and nearly everybody who COM
posed it received more or less of
drenching. 1t did not take the men
long, however, to recover themselves,

were safe. Barth ran up the shore
and warned the life savers, who i'm

! As reports come in from various
funds, the legislators find deficiencies
that must be made up in the next
appropriation bill. There are some
queer ideas OF business permeating
fusion. Two years ago the fusion
legislature appropriated more than
its republican predecessor, but not
withstanding this fact several de-
lpArtments OF the state government
are behind All these deficiencies OF

would make that legislature the
