The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1915-07-17

moving picture shows depicting scenes
and actions taking place in their re-
spective states, and it was quite inter-
esting and instructive.
The flying machine was no novelty
to people living here but to us it was
something worth seeing. Art Smith is
the name of the aviator and he made
three ascensions day, two in the day
time and one in the evening. He Topped
the loop and performed many other
daring acts. In his first ascension on
the first days We We're there his mother
went up with him, and, according to
the newspapers the next morning, they
came near falling 1000 feet to their
death. But we noticed nothing wrong
with the machine. The party in column
space with headlines says they volpaaned
to the ground 1000 feet and lit on a
barbed wire fence, etc.
The horoscope here takes the place OF
the Eiffel tower at other fairs Paris.
The car, they say here, rises to the
height of 26s feet which gives one max
ing the ascension good view of the
grounds and the surrounding country. 1t
was too high up for me TO patronize
but lots of people did. In the evening
when it is lit up by electricity and they
are using their powerful search light
it is grand.
Meeting Travelling Companions.
We started out on trip by trolley
to the Golden Gate, Sutro Heights and
the beach. We arrived at Sutro Heights
at about 1890 and took our first view
OF the Pacific ocean and heard it roar
and thresh on the rocks at Golden Gate.
While there an aeroplane circled over
our heads for a while and then passed |
off over the sea TO the south but APP
peared again several times during the |
day over the beach, always circling and
returning to the south again. We Wis.
tied the Cliff house and while there came
car, Mr.. and Mrs. w. +. Poole, whom |
we camped with for two nights in west
ern Nebraska. They seemed like old
friends. They have friends in Stock
ton and they want to accompany us on
our voyage east. More company of
the right kind the better in crossing the
desert and they are the right kind.
Lolling on the Beach.
From the Cliff house we went to the
beach; ate lunch, which we brought with
US. Then the younger members of our
party stripped off their shoes and stock
ngs and waded in the surf. The ocean
water seemed about ice cold, but they, !

d that beach to-day and / talked with
'eople from nearly every state in the ,
nion, who, like US, were visiting the
air and took this in as a side trip. Men,
romen and children were stretched in
