Balloon Up 8 IL Miles.

An interesting pilot balloon observa-
ton was made at the Aberdeen, Md,
Proving Ground on Tuesday of last week
by the Signal Corps Meteorological Sta
ton. A balloon was released and observ-
ed for So minutes, reaching an altitude
in that time of as, 225 feet, or more than
S.5 miles. The flight was interesting
from the standpoint of the great height
that was obtained. Also, the Horizontal |
projection as calculated revealed a COM
plete reversal of direction in air currents
above 1000 feet, as compared with those
below this level. While change in direc-
ton at upper levels is not unusual, it is
said, the fact that in this case the winds
were from the east is held to lend signii-
canoe to this observation.

How Diphtheria il Contracted.

One often hears the expression. "My
child caught severe cold which develop
ed into diphtheria," when the truth was
that the cold had simply left the little
one particularly susceptible to the wan
dering diphtheria germ. If your child
has cold when diphtheria is prevalent
you should take him out of school and
keep him off the street until fully re-
covered, AS there is hundred times
more danger of his taking diphtheria
when he has a cold. When Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is given it quickly
cures the cold and lessons the danger Of
diphtheria or any other germ disease be-
ing contracted. adv.

Believed to- have been caught between
two freight cars while attempting to
couple them, and thrown under wheels
of the cars. William Eyler, of York, Pa,
son of John Eyler, of Logs, this county,
was so badly injured early Thursday of
last week that he died in the Frederick
City Hospital shortly after being admit
ted. Both of the mans legs were cut off
and he was badly injured arouni the low
er abdomen and suffered COMMISSIONS of
the head and arms.
Eyler' was a brakeman on the 'tmoOn-
light" freight on the Pennsylvania rail-
road. His train was shifting between

front of the Frederick station on East
Church street. He had been seen work.
ing on the train sometime before the con-
ductor went back and found him serious
injured and lying across the tracks in
front of the warehouse.
The mishap in which Eyler lost his life
was the fourth to occur on that branch
of the railroad since February End
On Tuesday evening previous to the
night Eyler lost his life, four freight
cars were in serious wreck at bridge
near Keymar. While no lives were lost,
two of the employees who were riding in
the caboose attached to the rear of the
freight train, narrowly escaped death.
The wreck happened at the end of the
high bridge. and the four cars rolled
down the embankment, distance of 60
feet, but somehow the cahoose became
uncoupled and remained on the track.
The wrecked train consisted of car
of feed, one car of coal, a car of box ma
terial, and car of paper consigned to
the Frederick News. The cars were too
badly damaged to be salvaged, and the
contents TOO much damaged to be of any
use. 1t is stated the loss from this acct
dent will amount to 500
