DROPPING FROM THE CLOUDS
Australian Aeronaut Describes How It
Feels to Descend with
Parachute.

How it feels TO drop from the clouds
In a parachute is thrillingly de
scribed in Popular Mechanics by Capt
Penfold famous Australian aeronaut
He says: CHANGING up at your para
chute to see if the cords are olsen
tangled you grasp your trapeze rope
by one hand, your cutaway line with
the other. cross your legs around your
trapcZe bar, collect your thoughts, and
pull the knife. At once the wind
rushes past you the trapeze seems not
to hold your weight. you fall as if
pushed, unprepared, from high stage
into the water at the baths You look
overhead to see the parachute open.
the parachute cloth is dropping in n
bundle to reach you as it we're, but
before it does, your weight tells and
pulls the cords straight, the wind
catches under the cloth of your can.
opy, you have few anxious moments
rs it slowly unfolds like a huge UNI
brella and with slight tug as if a fish
were running away with your fishing
line you are supported like feather,
ard you experience a feeling of salts
faction and safety. Down you float
to terra firma like a bird on out
stretched wings, and if it is calm
day, your descent is almost vertical
at the rate of eight to ten feet sec.
ond. When nearing the ground the
earth seems to rush up to meet you,
and what at height of 1000 feet
seemed a small box in an allotment,
turns out now to be goodsized
house. You reach the ground as if
in free drop from a height of about
four feet"

aged man, apoplectio with the heat, was
elephantinely jolly for the benefit of a
bored looking girl across the table from
him, and at the next table a newspaper
woman ate alone the last edition propped
against the water bottle before her. her
hat, for GOODNESS, on the corner of the
table. 1t was motley Bohemian crowd.
I looked over the room casually, while
Mcknight ordered the meal Then my at
teEtion was attracted to the table next to
ours. Two people were sitting there, SO
deep in conversation that they did not
notice The womans face was hidden
under her hat, as she traced the pattern Of
the cloth mechanically with her fork. But
the mans features stood out clear in the
light of the candles on the table. 1t was
Bronson!
He shows the strain, doesn't he?" Nc
Knight said holding up the wine list as il
he read from It. Who's the woman?"
Search me-" l replied, in the same way.
When the chicken came, I still found my
self gazing now and then at the abstracted
couple near me- Evidently the subject of
conversation was unpleasant Bronson
was eating little, the woman not at all.
Finally he got up, pushed his chair back
roisily, thrust a bill at the waiter and
stalked out.
The woman sat still for a moment; then,
an apparent resolution to make the best
of 1t, she began slowly to eat the meal
before her.
But the quarrel had taken away her ap-
petite, for the mixture in our chatting dish
was hardly ready to serve before she
pushed her chair back a little and looked
around the room
I caught my first glimpse Of her face
then, and 1 confess it started me. It

little. The woman across seemed in no
hurry to go. She lotered over a deni-
tasse and that finished, sat with her elbow
on the table, her chin in her hand, look
ing darkly at the changing groups in the
room.
The fun at the table where the college
boys sat began to grow little noisy;
the fat man, now a purplsh shade, ann
bled away behind his slim companion; the
newspaper woman pinned on her business
like hat and stalled out. Still the woman
at the next table waited.

the arm.

Mcknight and Hotchkiss were saunter-
ing slowly down the road 1 caught up
with them, AS usual, the little man was
busy with some abstruse mental prob
lem.
The idea is this" he was saying, his
brows knitted in thought. If left-handed
man. standing in the position of the man

would he DO likely to sprain his right

right foot. OF course"
