AHNitii WHO Win Lnelr parents reside
on Belmont avenue, Philadelphia, dur
ing the winter aud on Spruce avenue
here during the summer, are entertain
ing the visitors here with daring feats
on the aqua-plane and swimming.
Miss Myrtle started swimming about
five years ago and learned to ride the
aqua-plane about q year ago last July
ct Stone HarbOr, since which she has
taught Miss Palmer the art. Her sister,
Hazel Pavitt is also an adept on the
plane and almost any day when they
can obtain the assistance OF q high
covered motor boat, they can be seen
of Mace's board walk performing this
thrilling feat. Miss Myrtle has inau-
gnrated a new stunt, that OF under-wa-
ter planning. While being towed at a
good speed she drives the plane beneath
the water which gives her the appear
ance Of standing ankle deep and NOV
ing rapidly forward. These two young
ladies are as much at home In the wa
ter as are the fish and at swimming
they have no equals. At Bristol Pa,
Miss Pavitt o a beautiful silver cup
on July oath. Last Saturday they were
the guests of the Camden Motor Boat
club and gave an exhibition OF their
skill for which they were presented a
handsome silver scroll mounted on pol
ished wood. They will give an exhibit
ton at Salem the latter part of August
and Keystone, Pa, on Labor Day.
They will probably go to Lafayette,
where they will perform for motion
pictures concerns. These young ladies
enjoy this sport immensely and no
money is accepted OF expected for these
performances. Miss Hazel will return
to Philadelphia on the 18th of Septem-
Der to resume her studies at the High
School for Girls in West Philadelphia
and Miss Myrtle, who is q graduate of
the same institution will remain until
the latter part OF September when she
will return with her parents. William
II. Pavitt, the father of these two
young ladies, is an expert king fisher
man, having brought In al high as six
ty-six fish in one catch, which is pas
time for him. He and his family have
been coming to AngIesea for over five
years and thoroughly enjoy their sum-
] Esrs here.
The "Osric' and "Orslno," the two
Stone Harbor old line boats, every week
give the children of the Fresh Air
Home a free trip to Stone Harbor.

Philadelphia, are stopping at their cot;-
age on Spruce
Mrs. P. l.. Peterson, deputy borough
collector, has been on the sick list the
past week.
Edward Anderson, a Swedish fisher
man employed on one of John
Leonard's fishing smacks, vas taken
suddenly sick at the Walnut avenue
house, where he has a room and only
by the prompt treatment administered
by DR.. Kelchner was his life saved.
We folks of North Wild wood are
proud of our new factory whistle, and
consequently all the clocks in the
North Wildwood Borough nearly all
throw up their hands at the same time
when the whistle blows at twelve
o'clock. This factory whistle has
brought order out of chaos regarding
the hour of the day and it is safe to
say there were not two clocks in the
whole borough that were running IN
the same time. Heretofore the onlv
thing that householders had to reg :
late their clocks with was the short
sharp toot of the electric power plant
whistle at $50 Ia the morning and
could not be heard in North Wildwood;
the other notice "a the arrival of our
trains, but inasmuch as these were
liable to be from two to ten minutes
late, there was no dependence on this
method, so when the owners of the
cold storage plant decided to put up a
first class, ear-splitting, regulation dis
cord, factory whistle on top of the plant
and make it talk four times a day, why
all clocks were speedily regulated to
this soulful shrek. In conjunction
with our factory whistle, one Of the
banks down town has inaugurated a
set of chimes and a public clock. This
is keeping abreast the times In great
fashion.
1t looks, from a long range distance,
as though the senatorial fracas is 60
ing to have an early start. The candi-
dates on both sides are on the alert,
with a new party from Wildwood
Crest as the star performer. However,
