An astronomical mirror at the

upon a metal tube that is the half

which expands and becomes lighter, by
the heat as It passes through the tube.
The latter is continued to form a loop
outside the half-cylinder. thus making
a sort Of endless chain.
Passing through the loop, the oil
cools. However. the suns heat forcing
the oil through the portion of the tube

cooled oil to follow it, otherwise there

DR.. Flodquist in a Wreck;
Locomotive Undamaged

Knickerbocker of the Short Line
were in Idaho Falls in their private
car that evening and on being awak-
ened and informed of the details OF
the accident, which occurred at / O..
clock in the morning, they wired for
Boy Scout to put some iodine on
the broken skin Of the epidermis OF
the cowcatcher and expressed the be-
lief that no suit would be entered
against DR.. Flodquist for damage tc
the engine.
A hurried consultation was held
amang the chiropractors and it was
decided that no emergency existed
that would require the detention OF
the nut in Idaho Falls or sending the
two washers to the nut college at
Blackfoot. After considering the in
dustrial shortage it was decided to
let the nut return to his office at
Blackfoot and to keep the two wash
ers in the Chinese laundry at Idaho
Falls.
Superintendent Brooks left in
structions for the messenger at Po-
catello to call Roadmaster McGoni-
gle to come up on the $50 train to
work on the problem of where did
the car go. The message was ANAL
gamated in transmittal and when
Mr.. McGonigle received it he under
stood that he was to investigate the
whereabouts of the cargo. He ar
rived in Idaho Falls at S;55 and To-
Gated the nut at his hotel and the
two washers at the laundry. He
wired his findings to Superintendent
Brooks who had gone on up the line
and Mr.. Brooks wired back that the
findings were satisfactory and added

DIR. F. A. F1odquist, the chiro-
practor of Blackfoot, was attending
a convention of chiropractors at Ida
no Falls this week and on Wednes-
day evening attended the grand ball
given by the men of the profession.
After the ball, it is reported, he met
two friends who are operating the
Chinese laundry and had a friendly
visit with them. He offered to take
them home in his car and they &C
copied. While crossing the railroad
track he had some difficulty with
his engine and it was struck by a
locomotive. DR.. w. S. Kettenring
and DIR. c. G.. Burt hurried to the
scene of the accident and reported
that the doctors car had entirely
vanished and all they could find
was nut and two washers. DR..
Flodquist was the nut and the
Chinese were the two washers.
This office made diligent inquiry
by wire to learn more about the &C
cident.
Drs. Burt and Kettenring said
that DR.. Flodquist was quite a live

INDIANS LEND COLOR;
PARADE IN NATIVE COSTUME

A pleasing event Thursday was a
parade on horseback by some of the
Fort Hall Indians. The Indians were
decked out in all the finery that ap-
peals to the native American, the
braves in war paint and headdress
while the squaws followed on gaily
caparisoned horses. A striking feat
ure of the squaws' apparel was the
elk teeth with which they were lit
orally covered. No Partisan beauty
ever wore a string of pearls with
more pride than did the Indian wo-
men with their elk teeth. The In
dian village at the west of the fair
grounds is one of the attractions at
the grounds, and the Indians them
selves have a prominent part in the
daily programs.

cred in the automobile race but many
were disappointed when the race ap-
peared to be somewhat one sided
However, the manner in which the
drivers hurled their cars around the
soft track won the admiration Of all.
The crowd grew excited in the cow
boy and Indian relay races and peo-
pie held their breath when the riders
successfully accomplished some dar-
ing feat. They were amused at the
cowboy chair race, and were I'M

too was amused at the incidents that
We're not on the program. They
howled with glee when the an
nouncer was forced to give his exhi-
bition of horsemanship. And the way
the riders and cowpunchers handled
their horses was something the
crowd seemed never to tire of. They
watched AID cheered when some
puncher ran down and roped a re-
fractory wild horse, and were inter-
ested as we'll in all the little stunts
and byplays that were constantly
cropping up. When the airplane
scared overhead, the crowd was alb
sorbed in watching the evulotions CT
the big ship and when some particu-
larly difficult evolution-or what ap-
peared difficult to mere earth dwell
lers-was performed, or when the
engine was shut off and the ship
glided along without power, sharp
indrawing of breath denoted the in
terest of the crowd. The program
held the interest of all until the
very last, when the cowpunchers
staged their wild horse race. The
antics of the horses and the feats of
the riders were the wonder of all,
tho not few sympathized with the
horses. 1t was great day and the
people emptied the stands with the
feeling that for once they were stated
with thrills and were ready to re-
sumo once more the drab business Of
living.
Neither was the interest all cent
cred on the racing program. The
various exhibits had their attraction
and even while the afternoons pro-
gram was on people were taking in
the exhibits on inspecting the
grounds.
1t was children's day, and the kid
dies were there in force. They, too
seemed to have their partisans and
were not at all slow in making their
championship known. Many a tired
out youngster went to the land Of
dreams last night with visions of the
time when perchance he too might
be the center of all eyes as he rode
some wildly bucking broncho.
Wednesdays program was equally
as good and a big and enthusiastic
crowd witnessed the events.
Closes Today
Today witnesses the closing of
the fair. A heavy rain last night and
continued cold this morning did not
present very favorable outlook.
Along toward noon, however, the sun
broke thru the clouds and gave
partial promise that some of the
events could be carried out.
