WILL MEN EVER FLY !?
To Succeed They Must Meet the Conditions
Found I'm Birds


The study of natural science is
being taken up more and more every
year by schools, colleges and scien-
lists. Of all the interesting branches
of this subject ornithology is perhaps
receiving at present most attention.
The Academy Of Sciences has de-
voted several consecutive meetings
to this discussion Of birds, and the
flight. habits and intelligence of the
many different species. Man, with
out doubt, will some day overcome
the forces OF nature and propel him
self through the air by mechanical
means. as now he does through the
water. From earliest times to the
present he has been fascinated BY
the possibilities Of flight. and numer-
Gus attempts have been made to find
some means by which to fly, from
the wings Of wax and feathers to the
complicated machines of to-day.
Nearly all models used have been
based upon the fight Of birds, and
the shape, action and comparative
size of their wings. Seabirds, it is
known, have the greatest power of
sustained flight, many Of them being
able to keep on the wing for days at
a time; even sleeping while sailing
among the clouds, though when they
wish to do SO they fill their porous
bones with air, as we'll as a pouch
which extends along the neck from
the root of the tongue to the breast
bone. Another thing is the elastici-
ty and thickness Of their wing COW
ers, rendering the expenditure of
force less necessary and thus by
economizing the muscular tissue
making them capable Of prolonged
exertion. Whatever machine may
ultimately be used to fly with will be
based upon this principle of the sea
birds fight, and more or less that of
all birds, which is the combination
Of economical force for propulsion
and the power of tightening the body
propelled.

The Institute.

Last Friday and Saturday the teach
ers Of the county met with the teachers
Of this city in the High School build
ing to hold joint institute to be con-
Quoted by Prof S. Y. Gillian, of the
Milwaukee Normal On account of the
illness of his son Prof. Gillian was una
BILE to be present, and Prof. Harvey, Of
Oshkosh, was called upon to take his
place. Perhaps Prof. Harvey would
have been better able to present his
ideas had the program been according
to his own plans, but as it was he did
his part creditably to himself and IN
structively to the teachers present.
The program, as published last week,
was carried out with slight variations.
An evening session was held on Friday
evening. Col. Frank gave some very
interesting "reminiscences concerning
early education in Wisconsin. He gave
the early citizens of Kenosha much
credit in forming the free school system
of the State.
Prof. Harvey made some profitable
remarks on habits
Miss Daisy Lane favored the teachers
with selection of vocal music, which
was very well received.
The last address of the evening was
made by ex-Superintendent Mahoney
on mistakes in school work.
On Friday morning Pres. Mapel, of
Milwaukee Normal, was with us and
rendered much valuable help by his
timely suggestions.
A paper on DENOMINATIONS" by Miss
Nellie Marsh, called forth considerable
discussion by City Supt. Cavanagh,
Prof. Leach and others on Friday fore
noon. tt was proved that at least some
good might be derived from written ex-
aminations besides the mark or "stand-
ing which the pupil receives.
Az 3 p. M, the institute adjourned,
the meeting having been one of much
profit to all present.
All Of the city teachers were present
and the following from the country:

ExPresident Hayes is in favor of a
Presidential term of six years, but even
his judgment ON the question ought not
to strengthen the movement for a
change. On the other hand, George
Bancroft, the historian, thinks we
should let the Constitution alone as
much as possible. "If any change is
needed" he says, sit is in ourselves,
that we may more and more respect
that body Of primary law Justices
Bradley and Gray, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, are opposed
to any change. Justice Blatchford
thinks tdat tinkering the Constitution
lis poor business" The Constitution
and the usage Of Presidential elections
are all right. If We get poor Presi-
dent, four years is long enough to have
him in office. If we get good Presi-
dent, We can re-elect him, so making his
term in fact eight years. That is lust
right, and any change would be for the
worse Think Of six years for Andy
Johnson. or old Buchanan, or even Of
Grover Cleveland ! Chicago Journal.

The World Ought To Know 1t.

The world ought to know what s. S. S.
has done for me in the cure Of malignant
Cancer, which was SO bad as to be consider
ed incurable by the physicians in Chicago
where | went to be treated. The hospital
surgeons gave me up, saying they could do
nothing for me. One of my neighbors sent
me copy Of an advertisement cut from
newspaper in regard to Swift's Specific: and
| began taking it. I got relief from the
first few doses; the poison was gradually
forced out of my system, and I was cured
sound and well. It is now ten months
since quit taking s. S. S. and I had no
sign Of return Of the dreadful disease
There are thousands Of people going to
their graves every yearwith Cancer, and
they ought to know the virtue of s, s. s.

FOR FISHERMEN.
Facts Cleaned from The Annual Report OF the
Wisconsin Fish Commissioners.

Wisconsin Fish Commissioners.
The annual report of the fish com
mission is in the press, and will show
that during the year fish we're dis
tributed as follows: Brook trout,
2,285,ooo California rainbow trout,
100000; pike, 4,45o,ooo; carp,
25,437. 1t states that other points
having been found unsatisfactory,
and Milwaukee having made reduc-
tions in water rates, the lake shore
hatchery will remain there.
Under the head of "Food Fishes
Of the Great Lakes" the report shows
that $780, 8o pounds of food fish
were caught in Lake Michigan and
that part of Superior under the iuris-
diction of Wisconsin; that the fisher
men received $27o,595 for the catch,
using 1907 nets. The total value
Of the property invested in the enter
prise was was S3377o6, and 62S men
were employed. There was an in
crease Of 6I7,593 pounds in the catch
during the year. The value of fish
caught during 1886 was $169,738.44;
in 1887, $25o,168,8S; in 1888, $780,
595.o6; total for three years, $780,
5o3.32.
The report congratulates the peo-
pie on the fact that the feasibility of
stocking the great lakes with food
fish has been solved, and brings in
proof of the fact the opinion of fish
ermen that the number of food fish
has been materially increased by the
planting of fry and the protection
given to young fish by the laws. It
says: "The fish merchants are
strong i'll the belief that without the
aid that has been extended to the in
dustry by our state, the business of
taking fish would not and could not
be made to pay" Residents of the
lake shore coincide in this view.
A large portion of the report is
devoted to showing that the present
law of fish protection and propoga-
ton is of great practical value, and
also that the stocking of inland
lakes and rivers has had the effect
of attracting thousands of tourists
to the state, besides furnishing food
for the people. Letters are included
from the railway companies, giving
figures to show that increased fishing
has added largely to the number of
tourists, who come here for sport.
The Lake Shore road carried over
1900 people on fishing excursions,
and the Central estimates their num-
Der at 5000.
Notice is given that no fry will
hereafter be given where streams are
rented to private fishing parties and
the public excluded. The organiza-
ton of clubs to protect fish and game
is recommended. The claim is made
that Wisconsin plants more fish for
the money expended than any other
state. The expenses for the year
has been $12,S97.9o. Thanks are
extended to the railroads for carry
ing fry free to all parts of the state.
