WAS CHEERED BY
MANY SPECTATORS
The Immense Column Was
Hoisted Into Position at
Noon Yesterday = Work
on Building is Progressing
Rapidly and Steel Work
Will Soon Be Completed.

On top of a column on the tenth
story of the American National Bank
building, ITO feet from the eartn, an
American flag floats. It was placed
there at noon yesterday, and when
the immense steel column was hoist
ed into position with the flag flying
it was the signal for a demonstration
upon the part of spectators and work
men alike, for it signifies that the top
floor has been reached and little re-
mains TO be done on this part of the
structure.
Quite a crowd had gathered about
the building when the column was
moved into position, and a moment
after the cheering, one of the wo-kmen
caused the spectators to catch their
breath and gaze iptentily up into the
distance, for ne coolly stepped upon
the immense arm of the derrick which
hcists the material into position, and
as it was extended out over the
street, he walked to the end and fas-
tened a tiny American flag. He then
retraced his steps as though ne were,
only a few feet from earth, instead OF
almost into the clouds.
Interesting Spectacle.
There is no more interesting spec
tacle than that seen each day bv
hundreds as they tarry for few mo-
ments in passing Pensacoka's sky
Scraper. The steel workers appear
almost as flies as they hurry along
the narrow beams far above the earth.
One misstep or a twist of a foot and
they would be hurled TO death. But
they appear obliYious TO all danger
and rush hithar and thither as uneon-
cerned, or more so. than the spec
tators, for more than one person has
almost gasped for breath in watching
the men cross some particularly dan
gerouS place, or see one climb to the
top of one of the columns to unfasten
a chain.
Each day large crowds gather. on
Government and Palafox street and
watch the work as il is progressing
To see the men as they go about
putting the steel frame together with
its attendant risks is fascinating, and
to pass that section of the city with
on looking up for a moment is an i'm
possibility.
Another interesting spectacle is TO
witness the manner in which the I'M
menSe steel columns are handled
Each of these pieces which form the
frame of the building weighs many
tons, but with the aid of the derrick
they are handled as easily as a small
piece of timber used in the eonstruc-
ton of a cottage
