Up In the Air,


With the increase in ballooning
there looms up a danger that will
have to be guarded against as fully as
any other that comes up with a new
method of transportation. The owner
of building has right to the air
above and the earth beneath his pos
session, and if an aerial ship fingers
over his habitation or his business
block 1t is apparently guilty of tres
pass. and this may bring its navigator
into the courts to pay the penalty for
his invasion. If he throws out ballast
and Injuries property there is just as
much reason why he should be sued
for damages as If he had committed
the act on terra firma He might top
pie over a chimney and cause loss of
life, and he might do many other
things that would cause serious dam
age during his flight through the air.
Unfortunately, says Boston Budget, it
would not always be easy to identify
the reckless navigator of the windy
way. He would be good deal like
the unprincipled automobIlisu who,
after causing a fatal or other acci-
dent. seeks safety from prosecution in
fight. Fresh inventions are seldom
an unmixed blessing, and We cannot
even rise heavenward without being
reminded that there are people below
us that need to be protected

The more commonly accepted signs
Of the quality of the coming winter
are conflicting. The squirrels were
never buster gathering In food for n
long and severe siege. The goose.
bone seems to confirm this prophecy,
while the beavers are not fixing up
their nests as If they anticipated any
discomfort from their improvldence.
In view of these contradictory tokens
OF what is ahead perhaps It may be
well to consult the money market
This betokens a rather severe spell
ahead.

she would coo Mt the bird rs if it were

and pet it, all the time bcG@ng it to
