M'CURDY

ATTEMPT
LIKE THE FOOLISH VIRGINS HE

LANDED ON THE WATER TEN
MILES FROM SHORE AND WAS
FISHED UP SAFELY.
ivrIrrp rEsss Ialsrp w1nn.1

Key West, Fla, Jan. 30.-ln the
presence of thousands Of spectators,
Aviator McCurdy started at 1880 this
morning from Trumbo field to fly to
Havana. Torpedo boat destroyers,
stationed in the gulf, reported good
weather. Half of the citizens OF Key
West had been up since daylight in
expectation of the start, and gave the
flyer a mighty cheer as his aeroplane
shot from the shore.
McCurdy made a fine start, cir
cling the field twice before his ma
chine darted away on its cross water
flight. AT s:15 he passed over the
destroyer Reyo, lying 20 miles to sea
ward. He was skimming along easily
and apparently finding no difficulty.
Before starting McCurdy said;
"The weather is by no means ideal,
but hope for the best. Much de-
pends on the condition of the sea. II
forced to drop think could pull
through, but fear that would lose
the aeroplane If the water is rough,
l will fly at speed of about so miles
an hour at an altitude of about 1000
feet. Unless my motor fails / am
confident that l shall make the pas
sage"
Half way between Key West and
Havana is stationed the destroyer
Paulding, equipped with, a platform
from which, IL McCurdy falls, he will
be able to start anew on his journey
to the Cuban capital. The Paulding
is in constant touch with both Key
West and Havana by wireless, and If
any accident is reported to the avia-
tor the warship will steam full speed
to the spot.
McCurdy was equipped with a
pneumatic life preserver jacket On
board the Paulding is Mary B. Dar-
hall, a correspondent of the United
Press, who will observe the aviator's
flight

Mayor Abbott Says Some Very
Critical Things.

The attitude of Mayor John C. Abb
bott and his following in Fort Lee ap-
pears to be one of absolute resentment
against all of the people of Palisade.
Whereas until recently there might
have been a faint hope that the shafts
Of His Honor's dislike were aimed at
Our local politicians, there is no longer
any doubt whatsoever that the very
name Of Palisade is obnoxious, and
the whole town is made to suffer in
consequence. In a casual conversa-
ton with the mayor recently, here
are few bonmots let fall by him:
you people in Palsade don't know
what you want"
"Your Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Tams and
Mr.. Druck and young Arthur Brady
have made us sick with their inter
views published in the Brentwood
paper. They have been very unjust
and have accomplished nothing ex-
cept to make the other ends of the
borough determined to oppose every
measure your people want us to
adopt"
Your Mr.. Brady has come up here
to show us how to run the govern
ment He knows nothing about any
thing. He only thinks he does. He
can't show us anything. We think
we are as honest as he is, or any Of
his following. Put that in your pipe
and smoke it"
on Pa1iSadianS want evervthino
in a rush. You are never satisfied to
wait"
Il never mean to be unjust to any
one, but one of these days you will
be making me an apology. I've had
people to critic me unjustly before
you Palisadians began it. It's moth

FEW SNAKES AROUND
PALISADE.
The Section Was Formerly Pretty
Well Noted for Rattlers and
Copperheads.

Notwithstanding the fact that in
years gone by the Palisades section
was pretty we'll known as the habitat
of many varieties of snakes, the lower
tier has been pretty we'll pre- emptied
of them, and serpents of any kind
hereabouts are now rarity. In fact
they are seldom seen anywhere in
this neighborhood When Palisade
was first settled in 1905 there was a
different story to tell The writer of
this article recalls with some shudder-
ing a scare he got one day in the
spring of that year, on a warm April
day while cycling to Fort Lea
sight long to be remembered About
half way up to the ancient capital of
the borough there were thirteen dead
snakes lying in the road just around
a curve; and there isn't any denying
the fact that even dead snakes many
times give one the cold shivers, es-
pecially when run across in such
punches as the aforesaid thirteen.
After wondering how so many reptiles
came to be annihilated in one spot
at that season, he saw half a dozen
Fort Lee boys sitting by the side of
the road, actually playing with half
dozen live snakes, all of them, how
ever, in half torpid state, and two
of them coiled into balls. The boys
would uncoil the snakes from the ball
shape into which they had twisted
themselves, bit they would imme-
diately assume the ball shape again
"a kind of intuitive process they
have of protecting themselves against
cold. The bodies of all snakes are
more or less cold anyway, so the
knotting into the round mass is one
way they have of keeping at least
partially warm
The new playground at the head of
Cumbermede road should have de
veloped some snakes, being low.
marshy swamp, full of water, tall
grasses, ferns and every kind of un-
dergrowth. But there were no snakes
found there except few of the garter
Variety-probably not over three or
four of these, and most of them no
larger than lead pencil 1t is very
strange that snakes have disappeared
so quickly from this section, the the
DRY being that the presence of so
many people in the woods all the
time have frightened them away. But
the question is, where did they go?
Emile Hascherele, the first year he
lived in Palisade, killed up in Ander-
son avenue large approximation
OF the most venomous of snakes.
Occasionally now some one may in
summer see garter snake twelve or
fifteen inches long, but even these are
rare now.
