Whether it be rough or smooth at
sea, a baby is always an excellent
sailor-rosy, jolly and with the ap-
petite of a horse. Do you know the
exclamation of this singular fact?
It is as simple as the fact is strange.
Babies don't get seasick because they
are accustomed to the rocking of the
cradle. That movement is much ike
the rocking of a ship. A baby
aboard ship, therefore, is merely
baby in an unusually big cradle. and
there is nothing odd to him about
the rocking, for it is what he has
been accustomed to all his life.

ADVENTURE IN MIDAIR.
Rises 5000 Feet and EScA "eE
without Hurt.

Louis Ward, Of Milford, Mass, ages
20 years, made an involuntary and
thrilling acrobatic balloon ascension
the other day. His left foot caught
in the guy rope of a balloon and he
was carried into the air and suspend
ed head downward. After being car
ried up 1900 feet into the air and
directly acrsss Hoag lake he landed
unhurt IS minutes later in a tree top

went up.
Ward was assisting Prof. Hillman,
a professional aerOnaut, who has

been giving balloon ascensions and
parachute exhibitions at Hoag park.
Hillman's balloon, a massive hot air
one, was being prepared for the aft
ernOOn exhibition, and Ward and 9th
ers were assisting. Everything
ready, the professor gave the word,
the balloon was released, and swift
ly mounted into the air with the pro-
fessor hanging to the parachute.
Ward started TO get out of the way
as the balloon was released, but his
left foot caught in one of the guy
ropes, and, TO the horror of the sew
eral thousand spectators, he was car
ried into the air suspended head
downward. His weight held the bal
loon on its side, in danger of an inn
mediate collapse and certain death
to both men. Hillman acted quickly.
Ward dangled from the balloon about
ten feet above the aeronaut, and be-
yond his reach. If the balloon was
brought to an upright position there
was some chance for Ward, so, after
a few words of advice as to how to
secure himself and draw himself up
right, Hillman released the parachute
when but 200 feet in the air and came
safely to the ground.
The balloon, freed from this
weight, righted itself and shot up
ward and across the lake. which is
about half a mile wide. The balloon
soon began its descent, coming down
easily and gracefully, and Ward
landed in a tree unhurt.

RICHEST CITY IN EUROPE.
Basel, in Switzerland, Has That PROUD
Qistinction.

O1StINCtlCn.
The richest city in Europe, and
probably in the world, is Basel-or
Easle as it used to appear in the
school geosraphies-in Switzerland.
The returns published by the tax
administrator show the assessed valu-
alton is more thar s175, 0OO, 900, and
the teal population is $4,000, an av-
erage of more than 1,4OO for each
man. wonan and child in the city. The
assessed valuation of Basel equals the
total revenue of the So 900 houses and
buildings in Paris.
Of the 124, 900 inhabitants of Be eel
there r $50 who are rated as million
aires. Inasmuch as the amount is reck-
Oned in francs this mean that the
wealth of these $50 persons exceeds
S20G, 900. There are IT'S who have
between 100000 and 5000, 900; 17J
who have 100000 and S95 who have
from 100000 to $1,000 0O.
Within fifteen years the wealth OF
Basel has increased $50, 900 900 and
the population has almost doubled
which is a most remarkable showing
for a town that is 1,500 years old. 1t
has always been famous. 1t was the
important stronghold of Helvetia in
the 18th century, and Erasmus died
there in the 18th century.
The manufacture of silk ribbons
is the chief industry, Basel producing
more of these ribbons than any other
city in Europe. Much machinery is
also made there and many chemicals.

Election Judges Failed To Put Ini-

The Newcastle Times gives the follow

The election contest of Duling

county was last Saturday decided in
favor of Joseph H. Duling and against
Peter G. Christensen by Judge J. l..
Stotts of the district court.
The court in delivering judgment in
favor of Duling called attention to the
fact that it was conceded by both sides
that the election in the Green Noun
tain precinct where Christensen had
43 votes and Duling Z votes
was absolutely void, for the reason that
none of the judges endorsed their mi
tials on the ballots before they gave
them out to be voted. Our supreme
