Workers Cross Ch0sn1
on Wire Foot Bridge

Tourists who are looking for red
blooded thrills need go no farther than
Parsons logging camp, near BelIing-
ham, Wash, where woven chicken
wire foot bridge enables workmen to
cross a yawning rayine 40 feet deep.
When the men went across this chasm
to cut down frs and hemlocks the prob
lem of getting them back to camp for
meals and lodging was difficult. They
had to crawl down into the valley and
climb up the opposite steep precipice
twice each day The management then
planned a cable bridge, but found the
expense prohibitiye, says the New York
World.
Finally the wOven-wire idea was adj
vanced and tested out. Three thick
nesses of wire netting 400 feet long
hang across the valley. At intervals
of five inches 12-inch boards are sta
pied on for treads. Every tenth board
extends out three feet each side of
the bridge, to which braces woven wire
is fastened In calm weather crossing
the bridge is pleasant, but on windy
days it has swing of three feet in
the middle directly over the deepest
part of the chasm.

One Dreadful Moment
in Kate Virgins Life

In 1897 Kate Douglas Wiggin was
presented at Holyrood palace. She de-
scribes what happened in my Garden
of Memory:
Il watched the curtsies carefully 60
see how those to the manner born cm
rled themselves, and as | neared the
lord high commissioner noted on
young lady, virtuous, | am sure, for She
was extremely ugly, who allowed a
long, bony foot and ankle to appear as
she swept aside her train.
II glanced down to enjoy the effect
of my own white satin shoes with
crystal buckles, when loI 1 beheld
large, black, bedroom slippers on my
feet
mo words can describe my con
fusion! I could easily have tainted,
but an instants thought Showed me
that | should make scene at court.
and when borne out by Lord Kinnear
my shoes would attract immediate at
tention, probably fall off and be hand
ed to him by the purse-bearer, or a
titled aide-de-camp. 1 summoned all
my courage and, when the awful mo
ment came, made the deepest and most
distinguished of curtsies with one end
alone in view, that of concelaing my
feet"
She was obliged to remain in her
bedroom slippers for the remainder of
the proceedings.
