TO sea-sickness might possibly become
immune by this treatment for the
blues of everyday life The giant
swing, while it is not much like the
aerostat, gives the same feeling to
some.
Then there is the airship, which ma
jestically winds about the outside of a

among the children.
Among the time-honored creations is
the shoot-the-chutes, which consists of
slide down toboggan and a few
bounces after the boat strikes the
water of the lake at the bottom of the
chute. If you're wise you'll not sit

you meander along. A moment later
you walk upon what seems to be the
top of an airship, loosely inflated. By

The Next Real Necessity.

George Oakley Totten, Jr, of Wash
ington, one of the American delegates
to the international congress of arch
itects at Vienna, delivered an address
at the convection, in the course of
which. speaking of the development of
skyscrapers as result of conditions
in the United States, he said "Condi-
tions are likely to arise which will
greatly influence the architecture of
the future. To sail through the air Is
no longer mere picture of the imagi-
nation, and the day may not be far
distant when the architect w4ll have to
devote his attention to beautifying not
only the fronts of buildings, but the
roofs as well, so that they may not
offend the eye of the aesthetic traveller
through the sky"
