Tuesday night in the western sky.
An expiring Chinese lantern with its
candle guttering in the last gasp at a

HOW 1T FEELS TO FALL
Sensation the Same That One Has in
Dreams of Falling

Harriet Quimby in Leslie's. q
How does it feel to fall?" was asked
of an acrobat who has had several hair
raising experiences 1T feels like some
thing happening which 1 knew perfectly
well was going to happen" he answered
thoughtfully. I'm my big fall three years
ago when we were touring the west,
felt as If l had fallen before. The sensa-.
ton was perfectly familiar, although that
was my first accident.
Most of us have premonitions. For in
stance, I knew that on that night was
going to have a tumble. l always work
without net but | was almost tempted
to have one stretched. For fear that the
others would talk about 1t l did not, all
though 1 afterwards wished l had. or
course 1 fell. 1t may be the sixth sense
or it may be a guardian angel that
warns us. Whatever it is. there are few
circus performers without a lively sense
of it at times. When it gives the signal
the wisest thing to do is to lay off for
a performance, regardless of conse-
Quences. but l have never heard of any,
body giving in to it like that.
THE evening that l came nearest to
passing in my checks climbed to my lit
tie swinging trapeze up near the top of
the tent, and when l was about half
tiiouSH my dcl let d rope slip, and I'M
less than a second l was punging down
head first and due to strike on the curb

course. l did not lose consciousness: IN

would strike. ! realized, too, that MT
