| George G. Policy, the human fly, seal ed the south side of thOee story Union block, Saturday afternoon at 2.30. O. clock while a crowd that filled Union square and blocked all traffic looked on. Policy preceded his climb with one or two humorous stories and some remarks to get the crowd in good nature. He ex- perienced little difficulty in reaching the top and doing a. few stunts at that height such as standing on his head. During the climb he staged a few fake near-falls which gave some funny feeling in the pit of the stomach as they looked to see a body dashed to pulp on the hard side walk below.
