Heine, a Prussian, fifty years old, made one of the most perilous trips yester- day afternoon that has ever been accom- plished on the Niagara river. In a canoe- shaped boat, ten feet in length, he sailed from the Milling district through the hy- Graulic canal out into the rapids above the falls, and over to within 300 feet of the Goat Island, and then returned without any mishap whatever. The river was full of ice, and everybody thought Heine and his boat would get wedged in it and be car- ried over the falls. FAR UP IN THE AIR. How the Crowd Watched a Man Do a Perilous Task. People with weak nerves passing along Pennsylvania avenue opposite the new city post office building today were greatly dis- comfited over the acrial antics of a man working on the small towers, or turret of that sky-seraping structure. So high was he that all that could be distinguished clearly from the sidewalks below was his flaming red flannel shirt, which showed strikingly against the light gray of the granite walls. ing the squeezed-out particles of m from the joints in the masonry of the ! hive-shaped caps of the turrets that finish off the sides of the building. Armed with @ chisel. he dug and scratched on the curv- ing joints as indifferent as though he had been seated on the avenue asphalt instead of being slung in a loop of rope fastened to the turret by another loop caught over the cap, nearly 150 feet from the ground. He raised and lowered himself by means of a pulley, the loose end of the rope running through the block being tied fast the man himself after every shift up or Jown. His movements around the turret were ac- complished by the most startling actions. Raising himself on his fect,the rope around his middie pulied his body to a sharp angle, and the intrepid man would then walk around the steep sides of the cap to the point he desired to reach. The strength of the rope and of the knot alone kept the He was engaged in scrap- ter workman from being dashed to death scores of feet below. The quick moves he made caused the hearts of the watchers on the ground to beat faster for fear some in- advertent act might cause a frightful ac- cident. There was a feeling of relief experfenced by those who gazed, fascinated, at the shirted chap thus hanging between 1 death when he coolly unfastened the knot, paid out the rope hand under hand. guid= ing himself by his feet, and so let himself down to the coping at the base of t ret cap. But in a moment he w again, for after kicking loose the s had held him aloft, he walked to the edge of the coping und leaned far out to = the joints of the face of the turre a few particles of mortar had the seams. After a few mini hair-raising pastime he cooily ntered around the coping, passing along the twelve-inch ledge at the face of the main tower as though it were a rod wid finally disappeared through one of th dows in the northwestern section, much as though he were walking through the aour- way of an avenue store. ee University Extension Leetur: The lecture tomorrow afternoon in the university extersion course at Metzerott Music Hall by Rey.
