Saw the Airship.

The recent tale of the Worcester air ship navigator who stated that he made a Worcester, Boston and New York trip one night in September. is awak- ening the minds of many who live on Windham road near the city limits as to whether a phenomenon noticed about that time in the heavens was the object of the secret trip. Mem- bers of the J. M. Gager family, near Prospect park, noticed what they thought was a meteor. What caused their attention more particularly was the fact that the lights did not drop behind the horizon as in cases of fall ing meteors, but took ranging courses.
 A party of young ladies on the same night, while standing in conversation at the Pleasant street end of the foot bridge, noticed lights high in the air. coming from east to west, apparently over the town of Lebanon. They say that their attention was taken up for fully ten minutes before the lights passed beyond their range of vision. One of them remarked at the time: T bet it's one of them airships."

 Dr. William E. Cram, the health of ficer. for the town of Mansfield, did not seem to think that there was any great need of placing restrictions on the stu dents. in view of the mildness of the single case, and 1t was partially upon his advice that the students decided upon the exodus.
