LeRoy was doing nothing in particular in his yard Saturday morning when he looked up to see a red parachute descending into the yard of a neighbor, Glen H. Merrill. His curiosity aroused, LeRoy turned investigator, and it appears he may be well repaid for his efforts. To the parachute were attached fragments of a rubber box about five inches thick, eight inches wide and 10 inches long. Upon the box was a sign which revealed the device to be an automatic weather broadcaster which had been released from Baltimore, Md., last November 8.

Balloon Tells Story The remnants of the balloon told their story. After the device had drifted so high there no longer was sufficient atmospheric pressure to sustain the bag, it burst. That automatically released the thin parachute, made of fine Japanese silk, from its round cardboard case, permitting the box to float gracefully to earth. It was open at two sides, to permit the broadcasting equipment to function, and a small slide permits a view into another portion of the interior.

If it is damaged to a small extent the reward will be $5, but if the damage is found to be extensive only one dollar will be forwarded to the finder.
