NIGHT FLIGHT OF
AIRSHIP SPECTACULAR
Aviators at Pensacola Have Narrowing
Experience in a Flight For
Their Lives.

Pensacola.-The first night flight at
tempted by aviators stationed at the
naval flying school here came near
resulting disastrously, for as Ensign
Chevalier was about to complete ms
fight the gasoline feed pipe burst anu
the gasoline became ignited. Notlclns
that his motor was missing, Ensign
Cheyalier Immediately ascertained the
trouble and Immediately placed ms
machine in a gliding position. WIN
his machine afire, the aviator ana MS
mechanic had the thrilling experience
of gliding 500 feet to the water, mo-
mentarily expecting to see the machlhe
wrecked by explosion. The craft land
ed near the navy yards and attaches
of the flying school, who had noteo
tra incident, Immediately set to the
rescue of the birdmen. AS quickly as
the machine hit the water, the tWC
men Jumped and swan a distance
away, fearing that the gasoline tam
would explode. When they had pro
ceeded a safe distance the explosion
occurred and the machine was com
nletelv wrecked. After swimming abou
in the water for a period OF abou
fifteen winutes, the two men were
picked up by those who had rushe'

kISSIMMEE WANTS
MUNICIPAL ICE PLANT
It Is Believed That Citizens Gould Be
Saved Money by Having
Own Plant

Kissimmee.-Followin the example
set by Fernandina, Kissimmee may
have a municipal ice plant, which will
be able to manufacture ice and put
same in cold storage for one dollar
a ton. The town owns its own cleo
trio light plant and waterworks anf
has sufficient exhaust steam and dis
titled water going to waste to operatN
a twenty-fve-ton ice plant. 1t is com
puted that the extra expense w1lf
amount to $26.S7 a day. Twenty-Five
tons of ice per day selling at 50 per
ton would produce $75 revenue per
day. 1t is believed that if this amount
were not used up in the city, that
the surplus could be easily shipped to
outside parties.
Superintendent Joiner, Of the cleo
trio light plant, believes that with the
use of the exhaust steam in connection
with an ice plant the cost of producing
the city water supply could be reduced
1t has been suggested that thor
ough investigation be made of this
proposition and steps taken to Try
to make the municipal plants produce
public necessities at less cost.

Lasted 12 Hours.

change Telegraph company from Ba-

"FOllowing a terrible battle at Muel-

Even then it has been found neces-

A church, brewery and some hous
