A street car was washed a quarter of 4
mile away from the track. The conduc-
tor and half a dozen passengers were
drowned before thay could get out Of
the car.
One striking instance of heroism by
rescuers is that Of two unknown men
who lost their lives while trying to save
a twelve-year-old girl from a raft, float
ing near Greenlawn Avenue. On horse
back the men fought desperately against
the swift current in their effort to reach
the raft, which was moving rapidly down
stream. One of the men was seen to
sink to a watery grave, while the other
managed to reach the girls side and
place her on his horse. A few moments
later the on-sweeping waters swept the
horse from under him. The man did not
regain the surface of the water. The raft
was close enough for the girl To reach

EXPLORING THE AIR
Six Nations Interested in Series
OF Investigations.

Omaha.-Six nations are Interested
"a series OF investigations now be-
Ing carried on in Omaha by the United
States government and collaborated in
by the governments of England, Ger
many. France. Italy and Belgium.
These investigations have for their OBJ
)ect the thorough exploration of the
atmosphere at height of more than
ten miles above the earth's surface,
and so successfully are they being car
ried out that mass of information
concerning conditions existing as high
as eighteen miles up in the air has
been secured. Similar explorations
are being conducted in the countries
named above and when these are
completed all information gathered
by each country is to be exchanged
with all other countries engaged in
the investigations.
The research is being prosecuted
with the assistance of weather bal
looms" which are sent aloft bearing in
attached baskets a number of delicate
oontr1vances for measuring whatever
conditions are met on the trip from
earth through the clouds and back
again to earth. The experiments con-
tnue for two weeks, a weather bal.
loon being sent up each afternoon
during that period by each of the six
governments. When the information
thus gained Is properly arranged the
meteorological bureaus in each of the
countries taking part will receive tab
ulated copies.
The little balloons, which are six
feet In diameter. are 20 arranged that
that they will explode somewhere far
above the ten-mile level, the explosive
force being the hydrogen with which
the bag Is filled.
One of these balloons recently
reached height of 18 miles before
bursting and at that altitude the tenn
perature was only So degrees below
zero, although at a point between nine
and ten miles high the records showed
that temperature Of "a degrees be-
low zero had been gone through On
this particular date the temperature
at Omaha. the starting point Of the
balloon. was ~ degrees above zero.

William Pitt Fessenden was gradu-
ated from Bowdoin college in 1923.
He was admitted to the bar in 1927.
and was member of the Maine legis-
lature two terms. He was elected to
congress in 1841. and from 1854 I'M
til the time of his death. September
8, 1869, he was United States senator,
except when secretary OF the treas.
ury, 1S64-1865. He was one Of the
founders of the Republican party In
1855 and throughout the Civil war
he did eminent service as chairman Of
the finance committee Of the senate.
