at least, of the unusual. For Smiths
contract with the fair management
calls for a long list of sensational
performances that no other aviator
before the public today dares to even
attempt. For instance, he agrees to
fly straight up to the height OF 2,5Oo
feet, looping the loop ten times IN
succession on the way up; he agrees
to do what he calls a roll over loop,
finishing within 300 feet of the ground.
In this act the machine is turned
over sidewise, sort OF sidewise sum-
mersault. He will do vertical drop
of anywhere from 1000 to 5000 feet;
he will fly with the machine UPSIDE
down, hands free of the steering
wheel and arms outstretched; he is
to fly at night, looping the loop not
less than three times in succession
with a fireworks display OF afty pieces
attached to the aeroplane.

The young people enjoyed good
service Sunday evening, with Miss

next Sunday will be under the direc-

1t was splendid audience at the
union services in the evening, that
listened apprcciatively to the SER

minister of the Church of Christ. 1t
was fine to have the church crowded
to the doors On an August evening.
We regret that some who came were
unable to get in the church. The

Let us all, church member and non

WHERE IT REALLY WAS

Dr. R. l.. AleXander's watch has been recovered and now the doctor attributes it's sudden disappearance Sunday morning to some playful friend rather than an actual thief The doctor would have wagered any thing on earth that somebody actu- ally stole his timepiece, then yester- day morning when the janitor was cleaning out, the lost. strayed or stolen article was accidentally located beneath bell on his desk. Anyhow the doctor has found his watch and he does confess that between a choice of the two he would rather .have that than the knowledge of who the guilty party was.
