"HERE Is a query going the
rounds about the already ia
nous Singer building in New
York. Ii goes like this: Did
you know they were going to take
four stories of the Singer buildlng?'
The one who "bites' replies: "No.
How Is that?' And the answer comes.
ITO let the moon pass"
Any one who has stood on Broadway
in front of the now completed steel
framework of the tallest OF New
York's skyscrapers can appreciate the
point. 1t seems as IL it were in very
truth scraplng the sky and in danger
of impeding the progress OF the stars.
The busy rushing throng on Broad
way at the noontide and luncheon sea
son now has a new diversion. 1t is
watching the steeplejacks who climb
the fagpoIe at the top Of the Singer
tower, either to perform some errand
in connection with the work of con-
struction or merely to show how agile
and careless of their movements they
can be In doing stunts" at a height
of 700 feet above terra firma, for the
ball at the top of the fiagpole, which
was placed there by a neryy steeple-
Jack n noon while the throng below
strained necks in watching the per-
Torrance, is 70S feet above the street.
When the steeplejack, Ernest Capelle,
was at his work on the staf, painting
the ball at its top a golden hue. while
the wind at that height was blowing a
gale, he looked like a mere midget,
hardly more than a speck against the
sky. He dashed himself to the pole
and by means of a bo'sun's chair and
stirrup worked himself up to the top,
chewing tobacco vigorously and taking
occasional snapshots with a camera
he carried of the fine view or Of the
buildings and crowd below when tired
of laying on the gold paint He was
about two hours on his lofty perch.

The Presidents Message

Washington, D. c., December, 3-The message of President
Roosevelt was read in both House and Senate to-day. The princi-
pal feature of the message was the Recommendation OF the Presl-
dent that a currency of greater elasticity should be secured for the
country. Also that some sort Of an emergency currency should be
provided, to be called out in times of need. The emergency cur
rency should be secured by ample securities of an approved nature
The President also stated that the country was irrevocably commit
ted to the protective tariff system, but that the tariffs should be
carefully scrutinized to prevent any injustice.
The message was about 10000 words in length and thereadine
took practically the entire time of the session.

call of time, being literally cut to pieces. Burns left the ring

ers. 1t is expected that the tower of
the Metropolitan Life building on
Madison square will beat the record
of the Singer building as to height.
Its topmost point will be 600 feet
above street level, and above that no
doubt will be a Flagstaff shooting up
higher even than fearless Ernest Ca
pelle climbed to place the ball on the
staff of the Singer building. The lat
ter building, which fronts on Broad
way, is partially inclosed by another
giant structure, the City Investment
building, not so tall, but containing a
greater amount Of floor space. In
deed, it is claimed that it Is the largest
Office building in the world. The Sing
err building tower seems to rise out of
it and to be a part of it, but 1t is In
reality a separate structure. The
work on the two enterprises, which is
progressing at a rapid rate. affords a
most interesting and significant spec
tacle.
Pittsburg is to have a skyscraper Of
dizzy height too. In fact, the claim
is being made that the height record
established in New York will be beat
en- by the Pittsburg rival Of the Singer
and Metropolitan Life buildings. II
