SPECTACULAR DROP.
Aeroplane Damaged But Occupants Little
Hurt.

Marblehead, Mass. sept. l2.-What
appeared at the time to be an aeroplan'
disaster OF the first magnitude occurred
over Salem harbor just opposite the vii
lows late yesterday afternoon, wheT
James McGrath, instructor, and his pu
pill George h. Fearing of Boston, appar
emily plunged headlong from height OF
1000 feet
Stories that an aeroplane had "explod
ed" in the air over Salem bay and that
two men had been killed spread like wild
fire and caused much excitement in this
town and in Salem. In response to a
call the Salem police ambulance was de.
spatched to Winter island to bring back
the bodies
Neither pilot nor passenger, however
were hurt, and the aeropane was only
slightly damaged.
McGrath. who is the aviator Of Godfrey
L. and Norman Cabot, had been taking
Mr. Fearing on an instruction flight and
had turned the machine down after
reaching height of 1000 feet at the
same time cutting off tho power. Fear
ing took over the controls and began a
steep spiral glide which appeared to OBJ
servers to be almost straight drop.
At an altitude of 100 feet the craft
was Strengthened out. but owing to a
confusion in signals between pilot and
pupil the power was not turned on quick
" enough and the machine stalled and
sank to the surface with one wing slight
" lower than the other. As a result the
craft struck heavily and the wing float
and central pontoon were crushed.
Neither Of the occupants, however. was
thrown ont and both were soon picked
up by boats from the Eastern Yacht club.
The machine. which is the property of
Mr.. Fearing and Norman Cabot, was
towed back to the Burgess company
plant here for repairs.
The aeroplane. built by the Burgess
company, is of the Dunno self balancing
type. and both Mr.. Fearing and Mr.. Nc
Grath say that this alone averted what
would probably have been fatal dis

entered a plea Of guilty Of breach Of
the peace and paid the usual fine and
costs.
Tourists driving over the road on
South Main street, which has been in
such bad condition throughout the sum
ner, may appreciate the work that the
city is now doing on this strip of high
way. This road has been the toughest
strip from Montpelier to White River
Junction this summer, on account of the
extensive automobile traffic over it after
the heavy rain storms in the early
spring which started ruts that were con-
tinually made deeper as the auto traffic
increased later in the season. Yesterday
and to-day the city has been carting a
coarse gravel onto both sides of the
street from the pavement near the fire
station to the covered bridge, thus put
ting the road into a fairly good eondi-
ton for the fall rains that will COM
mence within few weeks.

BAGPIPES AND BRICKS.
One Case In Which Music Did Net Do
the Soothing Act.

The Adelphia buildings in the Strand,
London. were built by two brothers OF
the family name of Adam. and from
this traternal union came the namo
that was given to the buildings, the
Greek appellation Of "Adelphi" or "the
brothers"
These brothers We're Scots and IN

employ their own countrYmen So
they sent to the Land o Cakes and
Brither Scots" for laborers TO do the
work.
The story goes that after they arriv-
ed and were set at work they proved
less active and energetic than was
profitable to the employers. TO whom
a bright idea finally came. They act
ed upon this idea and brought TO Lon
don from the north country a number
of bagpipers to encourage the toilerE
At first all went well. When the

Following this exposure of foul play

Love Affairs of Handel.

Women greatly admired Handel. who
was very handsome. but the serenity
of the composer seems only to have
been ruffled twice by love on his part.
His first attachment was to London
girl, a member of the aristocracy. Her
parents believed him beneath her In
social position, but were good enough
to say that if he abstained from writ
ing any more music the question or
marriage might be entertained. 1t was
easier to abstain from their daughter
than from his art, and he did so. Years
after almost the same thing occurred
Handel and another beautiful pupil of
his fell in love with each other. and
proud parents gave him the choice be
tween giving UP his profession or their
daughter Music, heavenly maid. !"

than water stains, they are not as ex'

Water stains are cheapest, penetrate
deeply, but give considerable trouble
because they raise the grain. Spirit
stains do not raise the grain much
but are hard to apply without showing
hard lines between strokes OF the
brush. They also fade easily.
