Va Henry Pierson was on the ground and when he saw his star ascend with the aviator he yelled like an Indian. After descending Blaney said all right for the flight, but he would rather take a street car ride a steady diet.
 Hereafter he would confine his interest in airships to reading newspaper accounts about them.

Rescued From browning

Two sisters, little daughters of
William hasten, S12 Third street,
aged about 10 and II years, had a
narrow escape from drowning in Rock
river Friday afternoon at $50 o'clock.
They were playing on the bank of the
river near the dam when one of the
girls accidentally fell into the river.
Seeing the mishap, her sister jumped
in after her and tried to bring her to
shore but was unable to do so. But
help was near at hand. Adolph Bra
mer, who is employed in the Office of
the Pinkerton Tobacco company, hap
pened to be in the vicinity, and after
shouting for help went to their as
sistance. Other employees of the to-
bacco company rushed to the their
assistance and landed the girls on
teIfa hrlna, not much The worse for
their experience.
Had Mr. Bramer not been in the vi
cinity at the time a double tragedy
would have taken place and no one
would be able to tell how it happened.
Children should keep away from the
river as accidents of this kind are
liable to happen at any time.

Film Exchange Bldg.

H. Davis, the film exchange man,
has had plans drawn for new
building which will be erected on the
corner of North Fourth and Jones
streets which will be used as film
exchange when completed. The build
ing will be 24x66 feet and will be
fitted up especially for this class of
work.
Mr.. Davis also contemplates max
ing moving pictures for the trade.
With that end in view he has arrang-
ed for the necessary artists to take
the views hereabouts and points of
interest in Wisconsin depicting the
we'll known beauties and grandeur of
nature which is so lavish in this Sec
ton of the country. He will also
stage some pictures, but in the main
the new views will be of Wisconsin
landscapes. This work will be done
at his Market street establishment
where he now employs several people
attending to the exchange work.

The Summer School.

The tenth annual session of the
Whitewater Normal summer school
will begin June 81 and continue till
August 5. Professor Upham will have
charge and the faculty will consist Of
fourteen teachers and two librarians.
Ten years ago the school numbered
65; last year there were 351 enrolled.
This seems to indicate that the school
supplies a need. Last year, there
were five other Normal summer
schools. This year there will be
eight, three special six weeks coun-
ty Institutes, and sessions in about
six of the county training schools.
The new law known as the Mini
mum Qualification law, enacted by
the last legislature, will probably have
the effect to greatly increase the at
tendance at summer schools this
year. This law makes a six weeks
attendance at PROFESSIONAL school
for teachers a necessary qualification
for obtaining third grade certificate
unless the applicant has taught sue
cessfully for at least eight months.
The Whitewater summer school will
have model classes Of children for the
purpose Of observation, and several
teachers will devote their time to the
professional work Of the school Spe-
cial facilities will be offered for stud
ents pursuing the branches required
for first, second and third grade
county certificates and classes will be
conducted in which Normal credits
may be obtained.
