The fire started in the basement,
spread so rapidly that the members
of the family, all on the third floor
at the time. were unable to escape.
After ordering their nurse to lock his
children in the room at which they
were at play, that they might not be
suffocated by smoke in attempting
to reach the street, DIR. WEIGH retreat

DR.. WEIGH was barely prevented from
rushing back into the flames after his
wife who had already Eeen saved.
The fire threatened for a time to
spread to other houses in the neigh

the millionaire residents of the sec.
ton. The loss on the WEIGH home is
about $4,000.

have often been asked how balloon
ing compared with other sports both in
cost and in enjoyment. The first cost
to those who wish to soar above the
clouds is smaller than in automobillng,
but each ascension costs some $500. A
fight may last less than an hour or 1t
may continue the better part of day.
The tendency is toward flights OF

Of its devotces, particularly among the
amateurs, the records will become
longer both in hours and miles.
When one leaves the earth the i'm
pressions come so fast that one can
hardly differentiate them. They pro-
duce a kaleidoscope effect. A man
must stop and concentrate his mind on
certain special sensations, or else on
returning to earth he will find that he
has no sensation in particular to tell
about.
There is the impression of the crowd
of people shouting and waving their
hands. Before you realize it they have
vanished as individuals. The earth
sinks f.om you, the houses become
tiny boxes, and large rivers appear
brooks that you could easily jump
across.
The lakes are pools, and marsh land
seems solid. This latter was the cause
of my friend Nocquet's landing where
he did and sacrificing his life. Forests
become smooth like pasture land. Rail
road trains are like crawling worms,
and all the earth sounds eventually
cease.

and other insects. Remarkably beauti-
full effects of clouds are seen from the
balloon, especially when the sun shines
on them. They often seem like snow
banks, and their edges are always
blush, like water. and ever give the
aeronaut the sensation of approaching
the ocean.
When in the clouds you can see only
the basket and its occupants, and you
may suddenly pass out of them to find
that you are driving straight into a
mountain peak, as we did once. If
you stay In the fog there is nothing to

Rev. Graham read the following eulo-
gy to the life of Mrs. Johnson:
Hannah NJ. Johnson was the sixth
child of family of eleven born to
James and Elizabeth Johnson, of
Waynesville, Ohio. She received from
parents healthy body, sound judg
lment, habits of industry and guard
ed religious education. She came
with her parents to this city in 1854
and made it her home until the time
of her demise. Life was before her
and possessing deep moral and refec-
tive nature she Unidentified herself with
the SABBATH School and Missionary
work connected with the Friends
meeting of South Eighth street. The
most solemn hour of human experience
is not death, but life, when the Divine
Spirit breaks upon the soul with no
uncertain light. God spoke and she
listened and with this spiritual renewal
she was led to unite with the First
Presbyterian church where she enjoy
ed it's services and Christian fellow
ship the remainder of her days
A certain, interest clusters about
her change from the church and Sab
bath school of her early life, where she
had formed strong friendship among
the older and younger members, for
a new church home.
Looking back upon it through the
light of experience, she at no time re-
GREETED the change. Then again she
at once took part in Sabbat School,
where she inculcated a reverence for
the Scriptures and lively interest in
the ministry of the church. She held:
"It is not enough to believe what you
maintain. You must maintain what
Won believe and maintain it because
you believe it,
For the past few years she felt in
creasingly the dullness of hearing, that
rendered it difficult for her to enjoy
the services of the church or the con-
yersation of her friends. Her lively
interest in the best literature never
tagged, she often times contributing
papers on assigned subjects and join
ing in the discussion of the Aftermath.
of which society she was one or tIN
earliest members, and from which she
received loving sympathy during her
recent illness.
For the past two years. too feeble
to go about among her friends she
continued to enjoy the best of the
old master with perservering interest.
There was the same high courage, the
same unfaItering trust, the same frank
ness and cheerfulness to the last.
4.I am not afraid to die God is an
3mpartial Judge. l feel my sins are
all forgiven" she said.
eff we could push after the gates OF
life,
And stand within, and all Gods
workings see.
Ave could interpret all this doubt and
strife,
And for each mystery find key.
And if through patient toll we reach
the land.
When tired feet, with sandals loosed
may rest.
sTbere we shall clearly see and under
stand,
think that we will say, GOO
