temperament as child, materially
valuable TO Thaw when ne was in

scribed Thaw's conduct both normal
and queer, on many occasions from

mitment until June 25 of the present

ed the patients acts as silly" and
while the witness said that in his be-

attorney made him admit that dul ing

August 10th will be a balloon ascen-
sion and parachute drop by Richard
Berry, famous aeronaut.
A description of one of his flights in
New Jersey last summer is as follows:

go the trapeze of a parachute with
which he was descending from bal
loon which had taken him up from
Palisade Amusement Park, near Fort
Lee. N. j., yesterday, and had bad
fall.
Berry had made a successful ascent
in the balloon. but as he was coming
down holding to the trapeze, he saw
he was directly above heavy electric
wires of the Hudson River Traction
company which carry power from a
generating plant to transforming
station near Arcola. These cables
carry $4,000 volts
Berry swung clear of them but in
doing so brought his line of fall tow
ard wires carrying power to cars.
When the trapeZe hit these Berry had
to let go or hit the charged wires. He
was stunned by his fall but no bones
were broken.

HOOSIcK FALLS STYLE

WALLS OF BRIDGE
IN DANGEROUS
CONDITION
Abutments~ on School Street on
Shaky Foundations
MIGHT. FALL AT ANY TIME
Damage Wrought by High Water Be-
ing Repaired by Relnforcements
Of Concrete
MIGHT. FALL AT ANY TIME

A few days ago First Selectman +.
NJ. Crawford made an inspection Of
the abutments of the School street
bridge and Unexpectedly found a con-
dition of things that necessitated i'm
mediate action. Under both abut-
ments ne found the wash from the riv-
er had torn away large holes and from
all appearances even an ordinary
flood were likely to undermine the
walls sufficiently to let the bridge
down into the river.
1t hardly seems possible that the
abutments for bridge over such a
turbulent stream and on a main thor
oughfare would have been built In
such manner and it may be that
more care was taken at the time than
appearances at present indicate. Judg-
ing from the present conditions no at
tempt was made to make a foundation
for the abutments which were appar-
emily laid on top of planking put in to
carry away the water from the dam on
the east side of the bridge. This
plank spillway has been carried away
during the past two years and the
water has since eaten away under the
abutments to such an extent that they
could not have carried the weight OF
tae bridge and the traffic over the
street for any extended period.
Since Monday Mr. Crawford has
had force of men at work under the
bridge reinforcing the abutments with
foundation of concrete and also fac
ing the walls with the same material
TO check further damage by water.
Golfer dams are being built in front
of the walls and the space between
the boarding and the walls is flied
with cement and gravel which finds
its way into all the crevices and under
the walls making the abutments as sol
i'd as possible under the circumstan-
| ces.
