Driven by accurate clockwork, It could
be depended upon to retain the proper

With breathless interest I watched the

My friend smiled good naturally and

but how did DIR. Syx turn the flying
atoms against his enemies?" asked
''In very simple manner. He had a
mirror mounted so that 1t could be turned
in any direction, and would shunt the
stream Of metallic atoms, heated by their
friction with the air. toward any desired
point. When the attack came he raised
this machine above the level Of the roof

Funeral of rIrs. A. r. BaIch.

The Marshalltown, Iowa, paper gives
the following facts about the funeral of
Mrs. Albert F. Balch, whose death was
noted in last weeks CALIFORNIAN:
Despite the stormy weather on Mon
day, March 5, the funeral services of the
late Mrs. A. F. Balch were largely at
tended from the family home, 106 North
Second street, at 3o'clock. Rev. c. P.
Boardman, of the Congrcgationalch church,
delivered a short but very tender oration,
extolling the character and life of the de-
ceased. Rev. Mr.. Boardman's text was
from Psalms 46:1. God is our refuge and
strength: very present helpin trouble" !"
His theme was that the faith OF an over
ruling Gods the refuge of distressed hui
manity. I'VE cannot interpret" he
said, life on any basis with any comfort
here or hope for the future. Lite's breaks
must have their completion. We see be-
meath the tangled threads of life; above
God watches over the pattern and it
must be good We are content to leave
our dear ones in the hands OF the God
of the Bible; the God of love and Justice
eternal and Interchangeable"
During the services ladies quartet
composed of Mesdames F. L. Meeker, B.
A. Morgan, R. E Sears and A. l.. Bryant
sang Motet's 20 Lord Be Mercful," and
Mrs. Meeker sang "One Sweetly Solemn
Thought" by Ambrose and was accom-
panied by Mrs. Belle c. Waldo.
The floral tributes were very handsome
and numerous, many beautiful flowers
being sent from personal friends of the
family and neighbors. Among the de-
signs were large pillow from the direct
ors of the Marshalltown State Bank
boquet OF handsome roses from the clerks
of the bank; fiat piece of carnations
and roses from the banks of Marshall
town; star of yellow and white roses
from the Woman's Club, the colors being
those OF the club; Tyre of pink roses
and carnations from the Souvenir Club.
From Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Balch OF St.
Johrsbury, and Mr.. and Mrs. P. S. BaIch
of this city there was a large wreath of
carnations and roses while the sister and
brothers of the deceased sent another
pretty design. West Main street friends
and immediate neighbors also sent ap-
propriate floral emblems.
The pail bearers were from the city
banks. Messrs. Fl. J. Howe of the Fidel-
ity; 7. J. Fletcher of the First National;
D. 7. Denmead and Charles c. St. Clair,
of the City National; George A. Turner
and DR.. W. B. Kibbey OF the Marshall
town State Bank.
General and genuine sympathy is ex-
pressed for Mr.. Balch in his great afflic-
tion. Marshalltown claimed Mrs. Balch
as one Of its best and most lovable wo.
men. In her home lite, in social circles
wherever she moved or mingled in fact,
her presence, her influence, her beautiful
character made more than friends of all
who knew her.
