 There are now 7S looms set up in the new weaving room of the Rhode Island Worsted company. and less than a third of the floor space is utilized. | Two dressing machines are set up and | in operation. The electrical apparatus | for the power was tried out for the | first time yesterday. There are two dynamos. One of these is a $50 ma | chine. capable of running the entire plant and lighting it. The other, a $50 machine, is powerful enough to run the plant. One of the advantages of this power is that it can be used to | run a department independent of the rest. Power can be transmitted to | one run or the entire plant. The water power will be used as far as possible. but there is a powerful en- zine to be used as an auxiliary. The power equipment of this plant is the latest and best known to modern science.
 There was a sensational account in the New York World of last Sunday of girl of 19, who went up in a balloon 6 mile and dropped safely to earth in a parachute. The girl gave her name as Louise Smith, but it is thought she is Florence Bertrand of this town. The picture published with the account is said by people who know Miss Bertrand to be a perfect likeness, and as she has been absent from town several weeks, it is thought possible that she may be the daring aeronaut. The trip was made from Hillside park, near Belleville, N. J. John Mack, who was here at the fair last fall, makes asoensions daily from the park. Miss Bertrand formed MAck's acquaintance when he was here, and was much interested in his work. She has expressed a determi- nation several times to try a trip, which adds to the plausibility of the prevailing opinion.
