Breton, who leaps the gap on the
automobile, though it does not take
half a minute to make the descent,
is watched with great interest, but
all breathe more freely when he
reaches terra tirma and speeds away
to the far end of the grounds before
the automobile is brought to a stand
still, This is one of the free attrac-
'tions and should be seen by every
body.
He has been performing his auto
mobile leap for two summer seasons,
having made about 100 rides last
year and nearly as many this year.
He has exhibited in almost every
prominent city in North America,
from Quebec, Que, Canada, to Me-
rida, Yuc., Mexico, and Portland,
Me-. to Victoria, B. c.

ground and never fail to draw a
crowd and draw forth rounds Of
merriment when the fun scenes are
being shown. The transformation
scene insFaust is wonderful, while
Satan as pictured on the canvas is
quite a good-looking fellow, but any
one can see the devil in him" from
start to finish, and at the same time
they can see that he always has his
way when he once gets a hold on a
fellow. 1t is really a good sermon to
the thoughtful to see this part Of
program.
The two men who do the impossi-
ble on the platform, one of the free
attractions, are far ahead of any
thing of the kind ever seen here.
They seem to be a combination of
springs, rubber, and everything else
that produces quick movement and
make more fun than half a dozen
other men in their line. They are
whole team by themselves.
The two merry go-rounds, two diff
ferent tent shows, and the usual
catch-penny concerns, too numerous
to mention, all go towards attracting
the crowds.
If you want two or three hours of
fun and a relaxation from business
cares, go out to the Festival.
The county fair is very nicely ar
ranged and we'll filled with exhibits.
There is a fine display of tobacco,
and through the energy Of the COM
mittee, headed by w. A. Can
trell and G. V. Green, it is a success.
Everything is in fine shape and the
county fair ought to receive a visit
from all.

OF course there was no possible
chance for the festival to pay ex-

it was necessary for the managers to

done was to continue the festival

Because Of the intricate problems in
volved the exact distance by which
Commander Peary failed OF reaching
the north pole has not yet been COM
ruted.
One Of the causes OF the difficulty
lies in the fact that there is a great di-
versity of distance in laitudinal de-
grees as the distance from the equator
is increased and while encyclopedias
give an accurate table OF the diversity
from the equator TO the 10th degree.
the calculations beyond that are as yet
more or less problematical.
A latitudinal diversity Of but few
inches to the minute would make such
a serious difference in 10 degrees that
unless this difference was accurately
computed the final result would be
far from accurate.
Authorities at Harvard university
have as yet refrained from attempting
a computation on the actual distance
Travelled by Peary.
Mr.. Frank Waldo. Ph. n. Of Cam
BRIDGE states that the problem cannoi
be accurately solved until mere definite
information Is received from the Peary
expedition.
