finger, and have them cut it the width
of your windows. Also buy two screw

which had fallen upon husband and wife.

signs of new trouble in his wife's face.

Kassandra's head upon his knee. The

such times. She was not obtrusive; she
only wanted to bear him company.

The ORIGIN of "Parson."

"Parson" is from the Latin per
soma" a person. and the parson is the
persona ecclesiac, or representative, Of
the church. The forms parson and
person bear the same relation to each
other as clark and clerk. From being
pronounced parson the word has come
to be so written. Blackstone in his
commentaries" says:
HE is called 'parson' (persona) be-
cause by his person the church, which
is an invisible body. is represented,
and he is himself a body corporate in
order to protect and defend the rights
of the church which he represents"

Air Ship Attraction.

The airship is to be one of the
headline attractions at the Interstate
Fair, which will be held in Spokane
this fall, October 5 to 10 inclusive.
The Interstate Fair management has
engaged the services of Charles J..
Strobel of Toledo, Ohio, and the APP
pearance of his airship which won
the international contests at st.
Louis, Mo-, October %, 1907.
The big ship has made many sue
cessful flights with safety to itself
and the single occupant of the car
who always accompanies it in it's
fight. Under favorable conditions
this car has been known to make
single trips aggregating $50 miles.
1t ascends and descends, turns every
direction and seems to respond i'm
mediately at the touch of the opera
tor as a bicycle or automobile re-
spends to its driver.
Flights will be made each day of
the fair, and when not in the air the
big ship will be berthed in a tent
$50 feet in length, where it will be
on exhibition. A lecturer will ex-
plain the machine in detail and an
swer questions that may be asked
by visitors.
This will be the first appearance
of an airship on the coast, and the
first appearance of any flying ma
chine within the borders of the state
of Washington. The people of the
Inland Empire will be given an oppor-
tunity to witness the flights through
air of what may prove to be the COM
ing transportation vehicle of the age
Charles J. Strobel has been termed
the original airship man and has the
distinction of being the first to book
the airship as an attraction. He has
been in the airship business for years
and claims to know his business. He
guarantees flights and claims his ma
chimes are prize winners that draw
crowds. Members of the Chamber
of Commerce excursion to the north
land had the pleasure of seeing one
of his ships ascend at the Calgary
fair, which was in session at the time
of their trip.

Crosses.
VOLLMER, Idaho, July 27.-The
last steel girder in the Lawyers can
yon railroad railroad bridge has been
laid and the hosting engine crossed
the steel span last night in celebra-
ton of the task Of bridging the deep
cash in the prairie. The bridge will
be completed this week and the first
train will cross about August l..
The riveting crews will finish their
work in a few days and the bridge
will then be finally inspected and
turned over to the railroad company.
Work began on the bridge proper in
February, although some of the con-
crete piers were built last fall. The
bridge is 1900 feet long and 285 feet
high.
The bridge is undoubtedly a most
substantial structure, as every piece
of steel has been tested at the fac
tory and on the bridge site before it
has been used, for any structural
weakness. The span will again be
carefully examined gefore it is used.
The work engine and derrick car
which have been used in building the
structure are almost as heavy as a
locomotive,and the great girders
which have been carried out and
placed in position would balance a
locomotive of 20 years ago.
