The Parachute Jump.

Prof. Le Roy made his parachute decension from the Northern Pacific elevator company's building Tuesday before a crowd of four or five hundred people. Had the professor been able to find a higher building to jump from, the effects of the descent would have been more satisfactory to the spectators. This evening the professor will give a tight rope and trapese {sp} exhibition. He is said to be one of the best men on the rope living and his exhibition will be well worth seeing.
