Devil High l)i v<-r. Only once has Thomas Quincy, the dare-devil high diver who Is giving two exhibitions at the Johnny J. Jones carnival, met with an acci dent. "Three yeara ago," he said to a Chronicle reporter, "I climbed to the top Of my white ladder, which stretches 100 feet into the air, and was just, about to take a long dive when a boy in jumping over one of .the guy ropes below, tripped over the rope and shook the" ladder. -K was just leaving my perch, when 1 felt the, ladder shake. It, was too lato for inc to get. back . so I took the plunge. Of course, 1 could not judge my distance -and I went down, hoping- that I would hit the water all right. "I struck the side of the tank and believe me, I saw all kinds of j stars. l?or an hour my mind was j blank but the strange thing 'ah the whole experience was that I climbed out of the water, put my bat 1, robe 011 and marched to my tent as I do after every act." Quincy Ih the only one in. the business who dives from a standing position, an accomplishment acquired after 18 years of practice. When (living he goes through the air ii rate of GO miles an I\pur. He Htrikea the. water with a pressure of r?,Ouo pounds. ' ' "Oho of the -main- things to b^l considered Is the wind, while it may be just felt where the crowd who witnesses the performance stand, it may be very, strong where the diver is, and the swerve of an inch may mean death," said Quincy.

The lower section of the loop is ope from the time the performer starts from the top of the apparatus until he is whirling upside down at the upper section of the loop. As he begins to make his downward des cent, the lower section of the loop connects automatically with the up per section forming a continuous path for his wild rush. The time of the ride is only five seconds,, the rider being in the loop but four fifthB of a second. The time which elapses between Babcock leaving the top of the loop and the joining of the two sections necessary for a eomplote circuit is 3-6 of a second, it requiring that length of tlim- for the working of the trap.

Now York, Nov. 0,~ Tho realiza tion of juHt how greiit a victory th'oy hu<l won canve (o the Dimiio crats of tho country today. Wilson and Marshall carried thirty-six states, while In the otlierH they I ran second. Tho Wilson landslide! | wan sufficient to carry 1 .n to office' > i Democrats in' several states. j Wllnon goes into power with aj j combined Democratic Houbo and j i Senate behind him and ho will b?| i enabled to enact whatever legiBla Lion lie believes to be necessary. Even in the states -where Wilson failed to get through, Michigan and Illinois, they elected Democratic governors; Massachusetts; which gave Wilson approximately a plural ity of 25,000, elected Fos? by 45, 000. Maine, which elected a Repub lican governor recently, swung into line for Wilson. Rhode Island at 9 o'clock this morning was conceded to Wilson by 4,000 plurality. In No\ York Wilson had a plurality of 20Q, 000 on unofficial returns, which gav Wilson 672,358, 'Roosevelt 381,664, Taft 4 6 5, 4 5 G. Sulzor for governor and tho entire state ticket was elec ted. Of twenty-nine states electing governors, only six, Kansas, Minne sota, t New Hampshire, Rhode Island South Dakota and Wisconsin, elect ed Republican governor**, while tho Progressives secured only one, Washington. With the exception of New York the Progressives relegat ed the Republican to third place, thus obtaining control of the elec tion machinery. Woodrow Wilson's olection ip the presidency, means that for the first time since 1846 a southern democrat will be inaugurated and occupy the presidential chair. Sixty-five years have elapsed since a southern man and a demo crat too has beeu named president of the United States. James K. Polk, the 11th presi dent which tho country had, ..was a democrat, He was born in North Carolina and elected from Tennessee, lie was inaugurated in 1845. . Woodrow Wilson will bo tho twenty-eighth president and the first southern (TfifWJCmt in that po sition, therefore, in this generation. There have been two southerners elected to l 1h> presidency since Polk and ono non-southern* demo crat, but the oombination -of n demo crat hnd southerner, has not been repeated1, Zachary Taylor, the twelfth president, was a southerner, born in Virginia. He was inaugu rated in 1840, but was a Louisiana Whig. Andrew Jaekson, born In Raleigh, N. C., and elected from Tennessee was 'the -seventeenth . resident, a southerner, but "? a republi can. Grover Cleveland, the 2*?u presi dent, was a democrat, but he was born in Now Jersey.
