SPECTACULAR FIRE DESTROYS SELF HOUSEFAMILY. AWAY FROM HOME AT THE TIME

RESiDENCt ON EAST PARK AVENUE BURNS AT MIDNIGHT—TWOOTHEftS DAMAGED BUT SAVED BY STRENUOUS EFFORTS OFPIRE DEPARTMENT—HOUSE COVERED WITH INSURANCE.

At midnight on Saturday, the house,adjoining S, B. Self's residence on•East ParX avenue was hnxned to theground. The local fire department•worked* heroically to try to save it,but the fire was too far advanced be-fore it was discovered to control it.The house, which was owned by Mr.Self, was used by him as a roominghouse during the winter and was un-occupied at this time. Mr. Self'sfamily had gone to Daytona Beaehand he was absent from home at thetime. A stranger passing in an, auto-mobile saw the. house on fire androused people in the vieinity and Mr.Self arrived on the scene shortly after.Chief "Fayor and a few other volun-teers concentrated their attentions onthe two adjoining houses, one ownedby R. Xr. Betts and the Self homestead.Fortunately, the heavy rain of theafternoon and had thoroughly Boatedthe buildings and there'vras no wind.The Betts house was somewhatscorched and some windows "broken;but remains practically as it was. TheSelf home was badly damaged bywater and1 smoke. It is said that theburned house was covered with In-surance.

A number of explosions heard inthe house when it began to burn aresaid to have been due to the storing

.there of shot-gun shells. These werevery distinct and aroused the neigh-bors. The fire 'was very spectacular,the flames shooting lifee a -great torchinto the air.

THOUSANDS OF OBSERVERS AREDISAPPOINTED WHEN THE SUNBECAME OBSCURED—INTEREST-ING DESCRIPTION OF WHATOCCURRED BY DR. BAKER.WELL KNOWN ASTRONOMICALSCHOLAR.

The national Council of Defense a twhich Mrs. Dyer is chairman, hascalled a meeting to which the publicis cordially invited on Saturday,' June15th, at the Public School Auditoriumat 8 o'clock.

Mrs. John T. Fuller, of Orlando, whowas delegate to the recent conventionof the National Council of Defense inWashington, w4U give a report ofthose proceedings, and also at the con-vention, of the League to EnforcePeace in Philadelphia.

Mrs. Fuller is an eloquent and ablespeaker and her message about thesepatriotic movements snould be heardby every one in Winter Park. She wasrecently heard in Tampa on thesesame subjects and the Tampa pressspoke highly of her efforts in spread-ing patriotic propaganda through theState.

The total eclipse of the sun on Sat-urday was more or less of a disap-pointment to many who journeyed toOrlando to see it. Although the orbof the sun was visible during the firstpart o£ the eclipse, heavy clouds soonobstructed it from view. Many Win-ter Park people sought advantageousview points, among others, Yowell'sroof garden in Orlando was crowdedby an eager sky gazing throng andthe shore of Lake Ivanhoe on the Win-ter Park highway was another popularrendezvous for the event.

Br Baker's account of the eclipsewill 'furnish the "Post" readers withits chief features as noted by a savantin astronomical lore...The Solar Eeiipse of June 8, 1918...

While the very unfavorable weatherm the early afternoon of Saturdaygave little promise of Orlando observ-ers seeing the great eclipse, or muchof it, the outcome was considera'blybetter than was expected.

The Mrs. Charles L. Smith, party,consisting of, Mrs. Smith, Miss Glad-win, Miss Francis and myself, selectedLake Ivanhoe. with its broad expan&e

for amateur observers.We-were fully equipped with all the

apparatus necessary for amateureclipse work, smoked glass, coveredw,ith clear glass, white screen tostrstch upon the ground, field glass,sensitive thermometer, and a bundleof small moulding.

Th object of the clear glass coverwas to show by reflection the accom-panying flickering bands oi light andshade (shadow bands) seen a fewseconds before- and after totality. Thescreen was to serve as a backgroUs*for the bands., and the pieces of mould-ing were tolay upon the screen in thelines of light to mark them for meas-urement apart.

There is a. fine asphaltdriveway running the length of thebusiness section that connects with allpoints north and south, and the lengthand breadth of this discloses the pret-tiest views imaginable of fine homesand glimpses of lakes and groves.This is all the mere passerby notes,and shows nothing whatever of theparadise of magnificent estates thatcan only be seen by following any oneof the -winding driveways that branchout in every direction.

Winter Park has purchased to date Thrift Stampsand War Sayings Stamps to the amount of $2.60 percajjita, which means that we have yet to pledge $17.40per capita to make up the quota of $20.00 for each man,woman and child in this country,—to be taken during thepresent year.
