WONDERFUL FEAT.

Jacob Myers Stands Upon One Foot on a Tree 178 Feet High. Jacob Myers, of near Fortuna, Cal., was photographed recently while he itood upon one foot on the top of a limbless tree, 178 feet high and 14 inches in diameter at the top. Mr, Myers, it is claimed, performed the

wonderful feat of dancing a jig on the top of the tree. “Few people,” says Mr. Myers, “like to go up so high, but I have never yet seen a placo too high for ine. It is no trick at all for me in these great red woods to climb a tree, cut off the top, and stand on it. I have stood on tho extreme top of an electric tower in Tipton, lowa. The tower was 159 feet high, and I stood on a one-inch rod with one foot. Of this you can get proof from Tipton. I was a stranger there, but you can And that I did so by asking the pcoplo of Tipton.”
