Wonderland Park.

Big crowds held their breath and
watched Charles Strahl dive from the top
of the electric tower, 12O feet high, into
a net at Wonderland yesterday afternoon
and evening. 1t was a daring feat which
made a strong impression. There is al
ways more or less doubt as to the truth
of assertions as to length Of dives from
ladders, but there is no gainsaying the
tower, whose height is known and which
is as lofty as the average church steeple.
Strahl was under contract to dive ITO
feet into the lagoon, but offered to make
the height ten feet more from the top of
the tower The change made the act
more spectacular, especially at night,
when the thousands of incandescents
with which the tower is studded, threw
his body into bold relief thruout the ter
rifle plunge.
The net into which he dives is 12x14
feet and the force of his fall is estimated
as equivalent to tons weight It was
sufficient yesterday to pull out stakes
to which the net had been guyed, and
which had been sunk five feet. Strahl is
to make his dive every afternoon and
evening this week.
Another sensational act, which is a
thriller, but which suffers somewhat by
direct comparison whit Strahls perilous
feat, is slide for life made by Duval,
ing by one foot, he slides down cable
from a height Of seventy feet at terrific
speed.
The first graduate from the infant incu-
bator institute at Wonderland has re-
ceived its diploma. 1t is baby boy who,
two weeks ago, was received when sqf-
fering from; threatened attack Of pneu-
monia. The little ones temperature was
sub-norma1 and it was very weak. Yes
terday it was returned to its parents
strong and vigorous, with a physically
good start in life.
