DESPERATE LEAP FOR LIFE
Parachute the Only Hope of occu-
pants Of Observation Balloon
Destroyed at the Front.

A British observation balloon, an
chored at the western front, had its
cables cut by enemy airplanes. and
the balloon scared thousands Of feet
upward into the clouds. A writer in
London Mail, who witnessed the
incident, describes what followed.
From the point where II vanished, he
says, we presently saw one small
speck, then another, dropping from the
clouds. For some hundreds Of feet
they fell like dead weights, then para
chutes opened, and the specks, now
revealed as men, were steadied in
their earthward course, floating rap
idly, but safely, to the ground.
After the balloon got free, they had
destroyed their papers and instru-
ments. clambered over the side Of the
basket, and leaped for life into the
great void beneath them, trusting that
the parachutes strapped round their
waists would open when they should.
Think Of that desperate spring into
the vast, gray vapory nothingness be-
meath the balloon the feelings OF the

what would happen; the awful sensa-
ton Of casting yourself blindly from
such an appalling height with the
knowledge that only a fiimsy piece Of
material, which might act rightly and
might not, interviewed between your
self and a crash into the earth many
thousands Of feet below; the tense
strain OF the stone-like drop through
two hundred feet OF the void before
the parachute opened, and then the
anxious mental query, through the
later stages Of the descent: what

good things about myself. I shall
therefore refrain from the usual self
flattery and say to the voters that as
to my fitness and qualifications for

am entitled to endorsement on my
record as made during the Is months
[ have been one of the District Judges.
J refer you to the county officials of
the different counties in this district
whose duties around and about the
court give them an opportunity to
form a good estimate of a mans quail
ificatiOns, and also to the attorneys
of the district. whose duties bring
them into constant touch with the
court. I feel justified, however. in say
ing to the voters that l gave up a good
law practice about Is month ago to ac-
cept the appointment of District Judge
and that if l have filled the office ac-
ceptably, I can consistently ask an
endorsement. I feel further justified
in saying that I have endeavored to
administer the law fairly. fearlessly,
and impartially, and if elected will
continue so to do.
If after investigating the merits
and qualifications of the different can
didates you feel that you can give me
your support. it would be gratefully
appreciated, and if elected l shall
see that the confidence thus reposed
in me shall not be misplaced.

SPLENDID WORK OF DIVER

One Of the most remarkable feats in
the history OF American labor, accord
ing 10 Capt. Louis Turner, represent
ing marine underwriters, was the sub
marine repairing Of a steamer sal
vaged OF the California coast by a
diver named Theodore Wicks. The
success Of this man In his p%erllous
work made II possible TO raise the YES
sci for further important service in the
governments war program, where ship
ping Is so urgently needed.
There were fully 100 patches Of tenn
pornry nature TO be put on the shutter
ed sides of the vessel while Il was
humping about on the rocks. making 1t
by all odds the biggest job Of the kind
ever attempted on the Paciic coast.
The biggest patch was ten feet wide
and 10 feet long. Three layers Of inch
plank, with canvas between. were used
In patching. This kept the water out
while the ship was being pumped.
Large numbers Of shipping men Wis
tied the dry dock where the ship went
after Diver Weeks exploits, and were
astonished that il had been possible to
salvage the vessel at all. The Divers
work is viewed all along the coast as
