Unlike many cities, Vienna does not take grer.t spurts and then fall back ex hausted and fagged out, like a man who has overdone his strength, but she takes it steady and easy, but she gets there all the same. It is this character ot a town that gets there every time. A steitdy strong pull does not exhaust the resources of a town, but it husbands its strength and stays with it and Vienna will be a .growing town when other that towns take it by spurts have been long forgotten.

A balloon ascension and parachute leap was made in the city Thursday afternoon late nn*d was witnessed by large crowd of people.

Waiting until he hod_gotten over the exact spot at which he wished to descend, the professor cut his para chute loose from, the balloon, and op ening out slowly and gracefully like a huge umbrella, the parachute descend ed majestically to earth. The ascension was for the purpose of advertising a show which was given at the opera honse Thursday night. Owing to the fact that the show had had no other advertisement, a very slim crowd was out to greet is.
