THREE THOUSAND SEE
 HUMAN FLY CLIMB.
Jack Williams Sealed Wauregan House With Ease.

Three thousand men, women and children packed Main street from side- walk to sidewalk near the Broa dway corner Monday night when Jack Will Hams, the Human Fly, appearing in this city under the auspices of The Norwich Morning Bulletin in a thrill- ing test of muscle and nerve, scaled the outside of the WaureSan house. The crowd began to assemble shortly after o'clock, and by 7-3o the street was so packed that trolleys and traffic had a hard time to get through All available windows in adjoining blocks were filled with spectators.
 The Human Fly made his appear ance promptly at 7.38 and asked for to do the collecting, and several men in uniform came forward

and offered their services. Upon the return of the collectors The Fly inn mediately donned his climbing apparel and was ready for the start. Before starting on his climb MT. Williams nature which was loudly applauded.
 The Fly started his climb near the
 Main street entrance. to the hole going up the awning over one of the
 windows. He climbed steadily and
 surely. with great coolness, testing every piece of trimming and every cornice before trusting his weight on it. The ascent was made from win dow to window and was quickly made until the top of the building was reached. where there is an overhang- ing cornice. Here 1t was that the Fly seemed baked. He made several at tempts' to reach hand hold on the cornice but it was a little too long a reach. After testing his holds several times he managed to get a grip with one hand and then, while the multi tude held their breath in suspense, he slowly and surely raised the other and getting a firm grip swung himself hack and forth several times and then with mighty effort swung up and over the top to the roof The crowd who had reathlessly watched the daring climber gave a sigh of relief
 The climb took nearly one half hour. The amount of the collection taken up was made public after The Fly had completed his climb. Ine total amount taken up was s15292, of which 30 per cent. or about $46, goes to the council of defense for the pur- pose of establishing an honor roll in the city upon which the names of all drafted men and. those in the service will be placed.
 The Human Fly will this afternoon climb the outside of the Wauregan house annex. He will go up blindfold- ed. feat which requires steady nerves and cool judgment. The Fly will make the climb at 2.s0 sharp.
