Man Is Not Likely to Fly.

The London Engineer, which has
lately discussed flying machines in a
scientific way, comes to the conclusion
that there is no combination of wings,
or arrangements of any kind which Will
enable man to fly with his own
strength. He lacks muscular power to
practice the accomplishment in which
the birds are so proficient. And even
if machines are devised to compensate
or that lack of power and endurance
they will not be successful unless they
shall be so constructed that each pound
of the machine Will develop as much
energy as each pound of bird. Not
till then" says the engineering critic,
can fight for man be achieved.

THERE are eleven States In which
women can vote at the elections for
School Directors. "Women for these
Offices, says Susan B. Anthony, "are
particularly appropriate, since large
proportion Of the school teachers are
of the same sex. I find that they show
much more tact than men, a, of
course, they do in every position" In
those eleven States the qualifications
for voting are in nearly every instance
similar to those of men. In Kentucky,
however, a woman has to be widow to
poll, and in Michigan taxpayer.

and climbing over the ledge stood be-
side the gilded cross. After a moments
rest he mounted to the arms of the cross
and then climbed to the peak, upon which
he stood erect without any support what
ever from below. Taking off his hat he
waved it to the crowd below. while the
breeze was blowing strong enough to rat
tie his shirt -leeves as If he was on the
pilot Of locomotive going at full speed.
After standing thus for a moment he
climed down and regaining his seat drop
ped to the landing place with startling
rapidity.
1t was an intensely exciting spectacle
and when the bold climber reached the
ground he could hardly make his way
across the street through the crowd that
pressed around to get aclose look at him.
