THANKSGIVING IN PALIsADE.
A Perfect Day, Which Everybody
ENJOYED to the Utter.

Thanksgiving Day in Palisade was
one of those rare dispensations of balmy
weather which come when you amt

temperature was a shade above fifty
most of the day with very little wind,
and the made-to-order kind of weather
couldn't have been any better It was
literally made to fit ones feelings, and
almost every one who was able to move
about was out enjoying the sunshine.
Many localities ventured to the auto
mobile races at the old Gutenberg race
track, where they enjoyed quite a few
thrills, and which proved a very decided
success. Others went to various nearby
places to dine with friends, and some
dared to face the noise of gay New York
for their repast Everybody had tur-
key, except w. ]. Foeppel, who took oc-
casion to say that his turkey was
goose.
Taking it all in all, Thanksgiving for
1910 was day to be remembered. The
children were out, the ladies were out,
the dogs were out, the birds were act
ually singing, and nobody was out of
tune. AS one citizen put it, Il have en-

SIMPLE LUNG TESTER.
William Hollinger Invents a Clever
and Amusing APPARATUS

When the Boys Work aand Play Club
gave their HalloWe'een party at the
Goodmans this fall William Ho1linger
had little device in the way of lung
tester. 1t not only made a lot of money
at five cents a blow, but attracted much
attention because of its ingenious de
sign.
Every boy has made futter wheel by
taking a square piece of stiff paper,
cutting the four corners nearly to the
center, then bending over the ends to
the middle running a pin through the
whole, and making it revolve by holding
it to current of air, or by blowing
on it.
Taking this simple idea as the nucleus
of his device, Mr. Hollinger used
ladies hat pin as the shaft on which
the futter mill revolved, but the paper
was held to the shaft by drop Of
mucilage.
The hat pin was placed loosely in
piece of white pine base inches square
so that the whole revolved when the
wind mill was blown against.
Attached to the hat pin was a red cot
ton cord soft and pliable, and on the
end half ounce weight Fixed rigidly
to the board which held the shaft was
another piece OF board, strip, Ole-1nCh
wide, half an inch thick and twenty
inches long. On the face of this was
a piece of a tape measure twenty inches
long. The cord wound around the axle
when the wind mill was blown, and the
weight lifting as it was wound, showed
how far a good blow would take it and
the little weight at the end The dis
tance Travelled would show on the tape
line. A man with good lungs could
blow the little plumbet up the tape from
five to twenty inches. Little girls could
blow only three or four inches. The
entire apparatus was as clever a conceit
as one would want to see, and created
no end of amusement. 1t was not only
accurate, but what is better, is easily
made by any boy. Mr.. Hollinger has
been urged to have the device patented,
but he seems to think it unworthy.
Nice thing Woodrow Wilson told the
