Given the sequence $\{a\_n\}$ is an arithmetic sequence with the first term $1$ and a non-zero common difference, and $a\_1$, $a\_3$, $a\_17$ form a geometric sequence.
(1) Find the general term formula of the sequence $\{a\_n\}$;
(2) If $b\_n= \frac {1}{a\_n a_{n+1}}$, and $S\_n$ is the sum of the first $n$ terms of the sequence $\{b\_n\}$, find $S\_n$.
