AERONAUTS HAVE
NARROW ESCAPES
MAN COLLIDES WITH
A ROOF-ANOTHER SAVED BY
UNDERBRUSH.

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-Virgil
Moore, the aeronaut, had narrow
escape from serious injury if not
death yesterday afternoon while
making a drop in a parachute from
balloon in which he had made an
ascension from the Chutes, through
Colliding with the caves of a house
just as he was about to land.
Moore made his ascent about .
{ clock and after reaching the usual
height, tossed himself free from the
hot-air bag with his parachute. The
latter filled out an dthe aeronaut
came sailing downward gracefully
Just as he was about to drop into
First avenue near Fulton street, a
sudden gust caught the parachute and
drove it against the caves of a house
at the corner of the two streets.
The shock was of considerable vio-
.lence and Moore struck the roof with
sufficient force to bruise his leg and
right side. His hold on the parachute
was also loosened and cry of hor-
ror arose from the group of assem-
bled spectators as they saw the para
chute and man separate, and the lat
ter topple over the edge of the roof.
With the instinct of his craft strong
within him, the aeronaut gripped the
caves and there hung suspended.
Within a few moments ladder had
been placed against the house wall
and Moore was assisted to terra
filma.
He was taken to the French Hospi-
tai, where his bruises were dressed
and he then went to his home at 2991
Folsom street.
SAVED BY UNDERBRUSH.
At height of 25OO feet above the
Berkeley foothills. Aeronaut Joseph
Randall, who had ascended in a bal
loon from Idora Park yesterday after
neon, failed to cut loose his parachute
from the immense bag above him,
which, emptied of air, acted as a
weight, and was carried to earth
with dizzy rapidity. He landed in
the brush at the bottom of the gulch
below the Contra Costa tunnel, es-
Gaping with a few bruises.
Several thousand people watched
the aeronaut ascend to the clouds,
and gave cries of alarm when the
balloon collapsed and began to carry
the aeronaut downward before he
was ready.
Randall was unable to cut loose
from the immense bag because the
rope reaching upward to the knife
which sewers the parachute from the
balloon failed to work.
At that critical moment the air in
the bag began to cool, and the bag
became limp and pressed down upon
the parachute, preventing the latter
from opening out fully and interfer-
ing with its equilibrium. The outfit
made lightning speed to terra firma
A relief party with a wagon drove
in haste to the scene of the descent,
expecting to find the aeronaut injur-
e. by falling upon tree or rock, but
hr had landed in the underbrush.

CALIFORNIA
mot In IT"
Panhandle Specimens are Equal
to Any Eyer Produced llth8
Great Fruit State

California never produced finer
fruit than some choice Panhandle
specimens exhibited at the Daily
Panhandle office yesterday by d. j.
Munsey Of Lockncy Floyd county,
The fruit was grown at his nursery
at Lockncy and is an interesting eA-
ample of what can be done in the
fertile Panhandle country in the way
Of fruit growing.
The specimens of peaches submit
ted are decidedly the finest seen
this year and none OF the imported
varities are superior. They are call
ed the "Elhander," a variety origl'
mated by Mr. Munsey and are the
product of two other varieties, the
alberta and Alexander, from which
the name is derived They are eN-
ceptlonally large and sweet Favored
and photographs show them to have
very fertile growth
The specimens Of plums shown
are known as the Golden Plum
large, luscious fruit OF a beautiful
golden hue. Several specimens Of
Diamond White grapes are shown
and Mr. Munsey states they arc os-
pecially adapted to Panhandle soil
and are very productive,
Mr. Munsey has made a study OF
fruit farming in the Panhandle and
feels that he has thorough knowl-
edge Of the fruits that are best
adapted to the soil here He eX-
pressed his intention OF removing TO
this city in the near future and con
Quoting an up-to-date nursery here.

AGONY AND DEATH.
From $50 to 500 mothers and chill
dren are burned to death and three
times that number seriously burned
and disfiguren In the United States
each year by gasolene stove acci-
dents. Last week a mother assayed
with one arm to fill the tank of q
lighted stove while holding her baby
with the other. Both have died
from burns and another little one
playing near will be disfigured for
life. Stove accidents usually result
from filing the tank without turn
ing of the blaze or from spilling gas
olene and then igniting the vapor of
1t by striking match to light the
stove. The gasolene can should be
well corked. -..
A gasolene stove should be fixed
to a permanent foundation so that
it cannot be placed against wood or
other infiammable material. It
should have bottom and three sides
closed to prevent combustible mater
ial from reaching the flame and the
main burner CRATES should be two
feet from tine floor.
Don't fail to have burners closed
before filing the reservoir, for fluid
leaking through them will make al
explosive vapor.
Finally don't go with a light to
hunt the source OF an odor OF gaso-
lene. The result OF finding 1t by that
means IL always instantaneous and
momentous.
