Motion pictures of insects In flight
prove that the movement Of the wings
OF all insects presents the same gen
eral character. When flight is begun
the amplitude OF the first wing beats
Is much smaller than OF the subsequent
ones. but the period remains almost
unchanged The insect regulates the
velocity OF its flight. not by the rapid
ty of the motion OF its wings. but by
changing their inclination. Although
in normal conditions the period OF the
wing beat remains constant, 1t may be
increased or diminished by various In

GIRL DROWNED
Daughter of Former North Bennlng-
ton Man Met Death July 3

Doris Hunt. the IA year old daugh-
ter of Edward Hunt of Troy, who was
drowned in the Wynantskill. a short
distance east of Beldens pond, Wed.
nesday afternoon was buried this
afternoon. The funeral was held at
the Sunday school room of the First
Presbyterian church this morning
with Rev. Adelbert P. Higley ofIicia-
ting. The remains were inferred at
North Bennington this afternoon.
The little girl, with a companion,
Emma Drew, aged II, had been gath
ering wild flowers along the Bruins
wick road Wednesday afternoon and,
coming to the turn of the Poestenkill,
a short distance from where it enters
intoBelden's pond, the seclusion at
tracted them as an ideal place to take
a bath. Neither girl could swim, but
the water seemed too shallow to
prove dangerous, and while wading
through it, the Hunt girl suddenly
sank beneath the surface of the wat
er, having unsuspectingly walked in
to pool more than 10 feet deep. Her
little companion shouted for help and
attracted to the scene John O'Brien.
The latter could not swim, but obtain
ing a boat endeayored to locate the
missing girl with his oars. He was
unsuccessful, but had been Joined
by several others. including DR. Frank
Trotter. The latter Invested himself
of his clothing and after diving a
couple of times brought the body to
the surface. 1t was removed to the
Foster homestead on the Brunswick
road and Coroner Noonan summoned.
He directed the removal of the re-
mains to the undertaking rooms OF
Charles J. Malone, deciding death
was due to accidental drowning and
an autopsy was unnecessary.
Mrs. Hunt, the girls mother, died
last March, as result OF injuries sus-
tanned at her work in Ferguson's col
lar shop, so that the Hunt home has
been visited twice within four
months by death in a violent manner.
Mr.. Hunt is a former resident OF
North Bennington, halNg moved 10
Troy ten years ago.
