Pennsylvania.
THE tree top seemed a pretty COM
Portable place. and, after making the
ropes fast. we curled UP as best we
could and both fell asleep, to await
daylight our nap had lasted about
an hour when there was a big crash, n
sudden lurch OF the balloon, and away
we sailed again, carrying some of the
branches In the coils of the ropes. We
could see the dark peaks and forests
all about us. and, realizing that the
danger Of the sea was past, we threw
out ballast and began to go UP like q
feather Up, up, we went until we
were two miles above the dark for
ests.
Il looked at Levee and saw that his
lips were getting very blue and my own
fingers were of the same color. our
clothes cracked as we moved about
and saw they were frozen. Neither
of lis had said anything for a long
time and when I attempted to speak
to Levee my voice sounded harsh and
strange.
We're going up fast / said, and
l don't like to go back to New York
with frozen feet. What do you think
we better do?'
"Levee made no reply, but his face
told me what he thought. Being an
experienced aeronaut, he knew better
than | that il was perilous to continue
our flight upward. With benumbed
fingers we opened the valves again and
slowly began to descend. After n time
the sunlight, once more came back to
us, but we were still so high that 1t
did not relieve the painful chill. Then
we sailed on and on again.
I'm the early light we passed over
several towns and shouted loudly, but
could arouse no one. Several times we
dropped empty bottles on the roofs,
fired a pistol and Levee sang and hall
loed in French, but either it was too
early or no one heard us. We made
out one place to be Honesdale, from
the indistinct shouts Of a group of men
who were evidently returning home
after a late meeting at the club.
During the night we passed over a
place where the lights resembled those
of Coney Island, but we could not make
1t out. During nearly all the time the
rain poured on us, except when we
were too high, and there was a con-
stant sound above the clouds like the
cracking of a whip.
After we landed in the mountains
we were lashed about in most terrible
eddies of air and feared we would be
dashed to pieces in the crags."

went further west and were longer in

SAN PEDRO SHOULD PONDER

San Pedro's shipping troubles en-
phasize the importance of its consolida-
ton with Los Angeles In fact, these
troubles seem to have come as timely
warming. They teach the lesson that
San Pedro as a small city is not compe-
tent to cope with difficulties incident to
a worlds harbor. Such police force
as San Pedro may command is power
less against hundreds of infamed labor
strikers, as recent events at the port
have demonstrated.
1t is comparatively-in proportion to
size-far more important to San Pedro
than to Los Angeles that the project
for consolidation of the two cities be
consummated. The port city now is
handicapped by the magnitude of op-
portunitles that it is not fully prepared
to grasp. A vast commerce is just open
ing there which, as early experience
shows, the little city as not capable of
protecting in case of an emergency.
And there is grave danger that oppor-
tunities may be permanently lost. in
detection of shipping to neighboring
ports. An object lesson in that line
has recently been taught in San Pedro.
The future greatness of San Pedro as
a worlds port obviously depends on
the substantial backing of Los Angeles,
in commerce. finance and government.
In the matter of local government San
Pedro car take care of its local affairs
in all ordinary respects. ana such con =
troll it should maintain inviolate. But
when it comes to graphing with emer-
gencies peculiar to it's position as a
great seaport the need for such back
ing as Los Angeles is able to afford is
unquestionable.
AS The Herald has remarked before,
i'm the discussion of this question, San
Pedro has everything to gain and moth
ing to lose by such consolidation with
Los Angeles as is proposed. The idea
that the identity OF the smaller city
would be swallowed up by the greater
one is without foundation. The port
always win be known as the port Of San
Pedro. and the name also will stick to
the city.
All that San Pedro needs to insure a
great future is the powerful backing OF
Los Angeles, Of which San Pedro viii

PIPE PINE TO THE OCEAN

LOS ANGELES. June 25.-(Editor
Herald: If you give the people conf
dence, your city will grow. You must
keep the present water supply intact,
If possible.
There is not n question in my mind
but that Los Angeles will be the largest
city on the Pacific slope. / think
that the population will increase from
20. 900 to $4,000 in the coming year, and
there should be something done, and
done at once, to protect us against fire
until we get water from some other
point. Now suggest that there be an
eight or ten-inch pipe from the ocean
to the center of the city, with pump
ing plant on the ocean front. This
water could be used as an emergency
for fire, and also to keep down the dust
in our streets, which is disgrace to
our city and n menace to health. The
recent San Francisco fire should be
lesson to Los Angeles, and think that
this question should be agitated.

leans and VIII Then Report to
st. Mary Academy in PerryviIIe,
Mo-, for Assignment

The many friends of Rev. F. x. Nc
Cabe, G. M, vice president of st.
Vincents college, will be surprised to
learn that he has been called to the
mother house, ST. Mary's academy. at
Perryville, Mo-, where he will doubtless
be appointed superior of an eastern
house of the Vincentian order.
1t is thought that he will be ap-
pointed superior at Lincoln, Neb.,
where a church has recently been es-
tablished by the order. Should Father
McCabe go to Lincoln 1t would fall to
his duty to establish the college which
is contemplated at that place.
Father McCabe received the telegram
yesterday and expects to start on his
eastern trip tomorrow.
He celebrated the tenth anniversary
of his appointment to st. Vincent's col
lege last Friday.
During that time he has always been
prominently connected with college
work, and is considered one of the
most popular priests in the city. He
has had charge of the oratorical work
of the college since the death of the
Very Rev. A. J. Meyer. He has also
had charge of the dramatic productions
of the Shakespeare club of the college
and st. Vincent'S Dramatic club, which
he organized and both of which he has
brought to the foremost ranks in anna
| teur circles.
Aside from his work in this line,
Father McCabe is known as an elo-
quent preacher and an able teacher in
the college.
While the hosts of friends of Father
McCabe will be glad to learn that the
new appointment will be an advance
and will place him in one of the most
responsible positions in the Vincentian
order, they will nevertheless be sorry
that he is leaving the Angel city. Es-
pecially will this be so OF the two clubs
named, who have looked to him as their
instructor and director in all work un-
dertaken

way of New Orleans, where he will visit

duties His successor at the local col
lege has not been named.
