Hafner pitched his usual consistent game, striking out eleven men, and allowing only four bases on balls.

Henry Vogelsong was jnofflcially appointed an honorary member of the fire department as a result. Vogelsong and Isaac Winburn, custodian of the city building, were spraying the walls with a disinfectant to rid the place of cockroaches which bave infested it for years. There is i small electric fan of home manufacture which has refused to run for some time. The current has been turned into the fan since It stopped running, no one having taken the trouble to turn the switch . Believing that some of the cockroaches might have lodged in the mo:or of the fan. a small amount of the iisinfectant was spraked into it. A result was immediately forthcoming as the fan suddenly leaped into activity throwing the disinfectant in every direction so that no one could turn it Dff. Then it became heated and the liquid burst into flame. The varnish on the wall started to burn and Winburn ran into the fir iepartment. Vogelsong remained on Juty, however, and seizing a hat beat the flames out before the members o! the hose company next door arrived. Mthough the hat was burned. ther was no other damage and Patrolman Vogelsong was elected fireman by virtue of his promptness in extinguishing the flame.

TEBB1TTS WAITING FOR INSTRUCTIONS May Order All Friends Missionaries to Leave Troubled Mexico. Rev. C. E. Tebbitts, secretary of the National Friends' Foreign Missionary j society, i3 expecting official communication from Secretary of State Bryan, advising him whether to instruct foreign missionaries of the Friends' society to flee from Mexico. Secretary Tebbitts 'stated he learned through the papers today that President Wilson has warned all Americans to leave Mexico at once, under the protection of the American embassy and consular representatives. As a result he is expecting advice from the government officials instructing him to warn missionaries to return to the United States. There are thirteen Friends' missionaries in Mexico and of these two are stationed at Nataloros, seven at Victoria and the remainder at Matehuala, Mexico. The two stationed at Nata- j loros formerly lived in Fountain City, this county. Recently Secretary Tebbitts received a telegram from Secretary Bryan, which outlined the conditions prevalent in Mexico and advising him that the United States government could not give protection to Americans in certain quarters of that country overrun with rebel soldiers fighting the troops of the Huerta provisional government. Diarrohea Quickly Cured "I was taken with diarrhoea and Mr. Yorks, the merchant here, persuaded me to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. After taking one dose of it I was cured. It also cured others that I gave it to," writes M. E. Gebhart, Oriole, Pa. That is not at all unusual. An ordinary attack of diarrhoea can almost invariably be cured by one or two doses of this remedy. It is one of the most successful preparations that has been discovered. Thousands have testified to its value. For sale by all dealers. (Advertisement) SPORTING NOTES I VANCOUVER, B. C, Aug. 28.

GYROSCOPE FIELD TO BEJEROPLAHE Montraville Wood, Who ITajl Perfected It, in Interesting Lecture.
TO STEADY AIRSHIP Tells of His Fly in? Experiences Flying with Gyroscope on Aeroplane. Very novel, instructive, and Interesting was the lecture and demonstration of the gyroscope, given at the Chautauqua yesterday evening by Montraville Wood, an inventor who has worked with Edison and has had much success in the practical application of the gyroscope. "The gyroscope" said Dr. Wood, "was invented in 1S52 and remained a toy until 1871. hen Bessimer, the great scientist and inventor, having made a lot of money. ued it In trying to reduce the rocking of the boat on which he crossed the Atlantic He spent over a million dollars, but failed in his attempt. In 1903 a German warship had been cast off by the government was given to this cause and the gyroscope was used with success, reducing the rocking of the boat from 30 degrees to 5 degrees, but when the boat got into heavy seas, a large wave struck it and broke it in two, the experimenters barely escaping with their lives." Flight On Mexican Border. The great field for the gyroscope, . according to this inventor. Is in connection with the aeroplane, where It will oppose the forces which tend to tip the planes and keep the equilibrium, even in "air-holes." Experiments with the gyroscope were made at the government station alone the. Mexican border and Mr. Wood told of his experience in these flights In an interesting manner. He also exhibited a model aeroplane with a gyroscope mounted in the center and showed how the instrument worked. The feature of the gyroscope is that it will raise the side which has the most weight, so that an aviator could walk out on one wing of his aeroplane and it would rise to meet his weight. Mr. Wood has perfected a clock which is operated by a tiny gyroscope run by an electric motor, the machinery being so small that two dry cells of the ordinary type would run It for two years and yet so powerful that it would regulate all the clocks within a radius of 500 miles by electric connection. This instrument will be manufactured by the Elgin watch company, which is building a special factory for this purpose. A Monorail Model. The demonstration which was the most interesting to the general audience was the monorail railroad model, demonstrated by a simple truck mounted on a wire strung from the platform to the back of the tent. The small gyroscope was set running and mounted on this wire and then Mr. Wood, by a push, sent it out on the wire, up I which it would run for quite a dis'tance, then pause, remain still a mo ment and run back down the wire to the platform. When the gyroscope was removed the truck fell from the wire, but when it was again placed in the truck, no amount of shaking the wire . would disturb the balance. The large gyrescope, weighing twenty six pounds, was then exhibited before the audience and a committee of 'four men from the audience and "Sun1. 1 1 1. I. . ........ I. .hi . V. a platform to test oat the machine. Uses Big Gyroscope. This was th gyrosce used In the aeroplane experiment a. The gyroscope was started and set on edge, and the j men were provided with a stick and invited to push it over. None coud accomplish this, and Mr. Wood then showed how it could be coaxed down with little effort. When it is lying flat 1 if an attempt is made to pick it up I by raising one side, the other side j comes up twice as fast. It is a very j powerful instrument for its site. It is ! all contained in a circular case of t.-oci ottstuf t u r, fgkt in rl f a m t r and about six Inches thick. Mr. Wood told of the fun he had when he told a negro porter to put the gyroscope on a train for him, and what a struggle he had with It. The final exhibition of the evening was the trip of a monorail car bearing an American flag out over the audience. In all of his work Mr. Wood was j assisted by his daughter, whj has helped him with his experiments and has made several aeroplane flights. In speaking of his work with Thorn ; as Edison in his labratory Mr. Wood ! said. "My work with Edison taught I me one thing, that was. not to go too deeply into the theoretical side, but to j apply my knowledge to practical nses ' and never go back of a result to find
why a thing was so, if I did know It was so, but to go ahead with my in- $ vestlgating Into what was beyond the i result already obtained." Mr. Wood spoke very highly of Edison, of the
i thoroughness with which he did all
his work, and the great results that -came to this man of little school education and opportunities.
