LIVING TOWER is UNIQUE
Captain Mesker Built Il on the Tops
Of -Four Redwood Trees In Cal
lfornla.

What 70 known as the Living Tow
er" Csays writer IN the Wide
World Magazine) stands on the very
summit OF hill more than two hun
dred feet high at Camp Meeker. a
summer resort In Sonoma county, Cal
lfornla. It was Captain Meeker, an
old pioneer, who first conceived the
idea OF building a tower on the very
summit Of a high Hill near his hotel,
and while locking around one day for
a suitable SITE. he found four young
redwood trees standing about twelve
feet apart. representing a perfect
square The trees were each about
one hundred and fifty feet high Fifty
feet Of each top was Topped of. and
the work Of building six stories was
then commenced. From top to bottom
the Living Tower was one hundred
feet high. Each floor is about twelve
by twelve feet. and rests on strong
tlmbers. the ends of which are Sc
curely attached to the four trees by
means OF steel cables and bolts. so
strongly was every part braced that
the whole structure does not move as
much as one would naturally suppose,
even when rocked by heavy winds.
In the building grea care was taken
by the workmen to cut only the
branches growing on the inside Of the
square. and the trees We're not chop
ped. mutilated. or weakened any more
than could possibly be avoided. Lead
ing up from each story are broad
stalrvays. so that one may ascend
and descend with ease and perfect
safety. while around the edge Of each
floor are strong ratings to prevent ac-
cidenls. Since this tower was com
pleted, the trees have grown and
fourished just as we'll as before. This
1 living tower Is claimed to be the only
one Of its kind in the world.
