balloon slowly sailing over his head

landing. Having plenty of gas and
ballast left. Miss Hoerner tied the
drag rope to a tree and made several
ascenslons in the captive balloon with
several natives, who, drawn by cur

anchored.
Incidentally, the runaways took
Heinmann's coat with them, and in
1t was all his money. He walked
home. Miss Hoerner said she could
not resist the temptation to steal
the balloon.

HERO STORY is JOKE

heroism of Jack Binns the wireless
operator who stuck to his key after

r. P. Schwerin, vice president of the

He said: "It requires the ships
motors to operate the wireless. and the
ships engines operate the motors, and
the ships steam operates the engines.
He couldn't run wireless with storage
batteries. The only good of a wire
less is to summon ships. We couldn't
have saved the Columbia on this coast
which sank in eight minutes" He said
the Pacific Mail will not install wire
less until it is more perfected.
