Leap of Thirty Feet Is But Sport

Capricornus From Switzerland Keeps

st. Louis, Mo.-Frank B. Meste-
macher of the Thirty-six engine house
has at his residence a channels (Rup-
tcapra tragus). or Swiss mountain
goat, that is at once the wonder, de-
light and mystery of the neighbor-
hood.
Born and bred In the Swiss Alps,
this goat amazes the neighbors by
most astounding leaps. 1t is nothing
for him to jump on a shed or "addi-
ton roof twelve or fifteen feet high.
OFTEN he will jump on to the porches
which ornament the second story,
thence to the roofs of the houses. ~
A jump off the highest roof, about
twenty to thirty feet, is nothing for
MIN. He can walk right up to fence
twelve to fourteen feet high and fly
over it like a bird. The grace with
which this channels makes these amaz-
Ing leaps attracts and delights all
who see him.
Dwellers in the vicinity of Meste-
macher's home, who in hot weather
sleep on their porches, have been Wis
tied by the channels In the morning.
He has all the impudence and curl
osity of the common goat and is at
tracted to make his jumps by any
thing that may excite his interest. In
this way he has jumped on every roof
that has attracted him save that of
Christian Brothers college. which is
some distance away.
Those who have seen him perform
are sure that he can leap to the roof
of the Third National bank building
IL he cared to do So and say that the
only jump he has not taken is into a
second-story window. They would not
be surprised to see him do this at any
time
When the channels gets going across
the back yards he takes fences IN his
stride and hits tho ground but once
in each yard. He hurdles coal sheds
and stables as If they were foot
