WATCH CITY BULLETIN. 5 PROPHESY OF THE GLASS OF 1904 It cost me a quarter to write this. I paid it for a ticket to an exhibition which was even more Won- derful than that of liquid air. Mr. Burke ran a phono-biograph, or in other words, a combination of a phonograph and a moving-picture machine. It was a wonderful entertainment and seemed almost miraculous. The audience was to see the events of history take place, and not only that, but they were to hear the sound made at the same time. It would have been a good place for the class historian, had all gone well. , At the beginning ofthe show, the garden of Eden was thrown onto the screen, and Adam and Eve were seen strolling down the shady lane of apple trees. They were talking, I suppose, but it sounded more like the bark of dogs. The last thing which we saw in the Garden, was the quarrel between Cain and Abel. Cain had just drawn his revolver on Abel, when the operator jumped fully six inches into the air and uttered a war-whoop that would have made an Indian jealous, The wires in the transformer had crossed by acci- dent, so that instead of four ainperes, the number re- quired to run the apparatus there were three thous- and passing through it. No wonder the man jumped when he touched the machine. It fairly roared and the speed increased every instant. Events in history passed with lightning rapidity, so fast that it took a moment to adapt ones eyes to the speed. The first thing that I could see at all after the accident was Alexander climbing the Alps on an elephant. He came down the other side in an automobile and in almost no time he was crossing the Deleware in one of Roy Gilbert's liquid-air flying machines, which was operated by its limbless inventor himself. It seems Roy had given up rowing for something exciting. They stopped at L. E. A's grist mill for provisions. WVhen the miller opened the slide for the grain to come out, it flowed a moment and then stopped short. Phil, the hired man who was always on time to take his part, was sent aloft to investigate. He found the hopper full of grain but besides this there were two feet sticking out of the middle of it. Phil saw at a glance that he could not move them, so he called in Callahan, who was just then ju'nping a six foot fence. Their united efforts were of no avail, even after Bailey had been called in to arrange a block and tackle. Hulda was not used to things in that form, and knew 'not what to do, besides Alexander was in a hurry, which seemed to rattle her. To her great relief, Glancy appeared and things took on a differ- ent aspect. Clifford went up-stairs, or rather iiew as it seemed to us, and taking a shoe in each hand, he pulled out a man, who was found to be holding in his hands, another pair of feet. After more pull- ing another man appeared. They were afterwards identified as W1-ight and Mulhall, who were as in- separable as ever. They were probably related to that friend of Mr. Eaton, and had passed the night in the grain bin, trying to pull each other out. Isa Richardson and Eva Ellis drove up with an ambu- lance, and carted them off in behalf of the YVoman's Relief Corps. NVhile this trouble was going on, Furbush, with a a right arm at least twelve inches in diameter, was shoeing Alexander's elephants in his smithy opposite the mill. Now that the grain was free to How, thc Hying machine was soon loaded with its provisions, and started on its travels, but it had not gone far when it stopped in mid-air, as if Alexander was listening for something which we could not hear be- cause of the roaring of the biograph. This something proved to be a Salvation Army meeting in a street below. Miss Freeman had just finished a stump speech, when the music was led off by Alice Griflin playing a comb. She was accom- panied by Maud Estabrooks with a zobo, and Marion ltipley with an accordian. After the occupant of the air-ship had been strain- ing his ears in vain for some time to- catch a sound from the meeting, Miss 'Ihomas and Miss King started to sing with might and main, completely drowning the noise of the runaway phonograph, and causing the air-ship to depart at a high rate of speed with Alexander holding his hands over his ears. Nevertheless Raymond Taylor could be seen below giving chase with one of the 2-40 market horses, dressed as a jockey in his base-ball suit. I The events so far had passed in less than a minute. The next scene was a school house, in which Mildred Robinson was teaching plane geometry. Across the stone wall Percival, five feet high and four in diameter, was teaching solid with a full beard. At recess the children were entertained by Dick VVarren and a dancing bear which he had trapped. The two were fastened together by a chain.
