PARACHUTE FIRE ESCAPES.
Australian Parliament Discusses Safe
ty Measure for Sl1yscrapers.

New York, Aug. 3.-Alfred Searcy, an
assistant clerk in Parliament house.
Adelaide. South Australia, after read
ing of skyscraDer fires in America, has
submitted the suggestion to the New
York fire commissioners that lofty
buildings be equipped with small para
chutes as a means of rescue.
The commissioners have acknowl-
edged the letter, but express the opin-
ion that parachutes would not begin to
unfold until they had dropped 200 feet or
more. so they would be impracticabie
except on upper floors of the very
highest buildings in the city. Even
then the commissioners think such ex-
pert knowledge of their use would be
required that few people would care to
undertake a flight.

FRIENDLY TO THE FARMERS.
Great Western Plans Harmony Tactics
for Employees.

The Chicago Great Western railway
announces that it proposes to have its
employees cultivate the friendship of
the farmers. AS this is strictly a
granger road, it's patrons are largely
among the agricultural element, hence
it is essential that the road should
have the good will Of the farmers.
I'VE predict it will not be much of
a task to get their good will, and
would suggest that every railroad
could have their good will if the
proper course was pursued to get it,
says the Railway Journal. THE rural
business man is factor worthy of
consideration in more ways than one.
and if the railway management will
establish a simple method of taking
the farmer into his confidence more
and explain to him more carefully just
why things are so he will soon have
the lasting friendship of the rural pro-
Queer. The man at the pillow is not
hard to cultivate, and he makes a
staunch, valuable friend when once
lined up. A campaign for friendly
relations along simple. sincere lines is
all that is needed Results will well
repay the effort. 1t has always been
our belief that if the railroads would
take the public into their confidence
more and show the public how the
roads are really trying to do for the
best of all concerned, there would be
less political unrest and more
friendly feeling towards the railroads
A lack of understanding often leads to
distrust and then follows political I'M
