n. W Aver & Son have adhered to
their popular conception OF a busi-
ness calendar, but have changed the
design and coloring. The size i the
same, about fourteen bv twenty ght
inches. with large readable dates, but
the clay modelled design printed in
sepia tints, gives more prominence TO
their well-known motto, Keeping
Everlastingly At 1t Brings Success -
not bad thing, by the way, for bust
ness people and most other people to
have before them throughout the

the whole forming very interesting
and ins tructive lesson IN productive

more money tor advertising than any
other concern Of the kind, which fact
lends interest TO their utterances on

part Of the current. This was suffi-
GENTLY strong to rob him of his senses
and loosen his hold on the wire before
the insulation burned away.
The accident occurred at o'clock
this evening and was witnessed by a
thousand Mortified people, not one of
whom was able to give any aid to the
imperiled aeronaut. Several men ran
for ladders and ropes. but before either
could be procured Corkery had fallen
Corkery is the regular aeronaut at
the park and was making the balloon
ascension which closes the Sunday
afternoon programme. After the bal
loon had been inflated Corkery pre-
pared to ascend and gave the signal to
let go. He cleared the ground safely,
but as soon as the big bag rose above
the shelter of the trees it was struck
by the wind, which was blowing hard,
and instead of rising higher was car
ried IN an almost horizontal direction
toward Telegraph avenue. A moment
later the parachute was swung against
the electric light wires.
DESPERATE FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Corkery realized at once that unless
he let go he would be drawn across the
wires. Reaching up with one hand he
caught hold of wire and then let go
his hold on the bar attached to the
balloon. The jerk of the balloon as it
was released nearly threw him to the
ground, but he held on and managed
to get hold with his ether hand This
was all that he could do and there he
hung, facing certain death If he tried
to draw himself up, and probably fatal
injury should he let go.
As the wire began to cut into his
hands, however, he made a struggle
to get better hold. In doing so he
struck another wire with the back of
his neck Instantly there was a flash
up he was unconscious and il was at
first thought that he was dead, but
after being carried into the park he re-
gained consciousness, and was taken
home.
After Corlxery fell the wires swung
together and two of them were burned
apart. The ends fell to the ground and
caused a display of electrical fireworks
until they were repaired.
Cookery resides at S07 Grove street.
When seen tonight the aeronaut was
so unstrung that he could not give a
very complete account of the accident.
He said, however:
"I got clear of the ground all right
and then the wind struck the balloon.
The next thing / knew I was in the
wires. felt that If was dragged over
the wires it would be all off with me.
so / let go of the bar and caught a
wire. It seemed as if 1 hung there for
an hour and then my hands began to
hurt / tried to get a fresh grip and
that was the last ! knew"
