AERos FARE BADLY.
Attempts to Navigate the Air in
California End in Mishap.

LONG BEACH, Cal, Sept. Sat
tempts to navigate the air resulted
disastrously during the opening Of
the festival of the sea here today.
Frank Hetchell, with an airship
called the BEETLE, essayed to fly from
the grandstand,. but instead of sail
ing, he came down on the hard sand
with force that knocked the wind
from his body for few minutes. He
was not seriously injured and the air
ship can BE- restored with a little
work.
AT 2 o'clock Aeronaut Wright
made an ascension in balloon CUT
ting loose with his parachute, he de-
scended at Fourth and Linden streets,
striking on the roof Of house and
tearing off small cupola. His hand
slipping from the bar he caught a
wire guy rope and slid down the
caves, cutting his hand to the bone.
Attempting to save himself, Wright
lost his balance and fell IS feet,
spraining his ankle and bruising his
lower limbs badly.

CHICO, Cal, Sept. 3.-Matt Jack
son, who is under arrest here on the
charge OF holding up Is lumbermen,
with the aid OF an accomplice in a
single night, was identified by the
federal authorities today as A. Carl
son, who is charged with robbing
the Tillamook stage in Oregon on
July 2. II is understood that he will
be indicted by the federal grand jury

advanced that Jackson, or Carlson.

helped him in holding up the IS men
here. The authorities claim to have
evidence indicating this. 1t is known
that bloody overalls were found in
his possession after the crime. They
procured several hundred dollars from

AUGUST WAS A CLOUDY
AND COOL MONTH
INTERESTING DATA PREPARED
BY MR.. KELLIHER AT
NORTH HEAD.

According to the meteorological
summary prepared for the month OF
August by Mr.. J. J. Keliher, the gov
ernmental weather man at North
Head, on the Washington shore,
there has been more rain during that
month for this year than since 1902.
The rain gauge shows just a trace
over two inches, while last year in
August there was lilo and the year
before there was but .03 of an inch.
The average in August is quite slight.
Other interesting facts prepared by
Mr.. Kelliher show that during August
the prevailing winds were from the
northwest, and the greatest velocity
was on August n, when it blew at the
rate Of 48 miles per hour, from the
southeast. The highest temperature at
North Head was 78 degrees, on Aug
ust II, and the lowest 49, The aver
age temperature for the month was
55 degrees, which is little bit below
the average temperatures for major
ity of the years since 1902.
There were only six clear days at
North Head, where it is commonly
much more foggy than here. and six
partly cloudy, while nineteen are
designated as cloudy. On six days
only was there a trace or more of
rain, that is, all of the precipitation
came during those six days.

VIENNA, Sept 3.--That the re-
