so, the Poor INDIAN

The three noted Indians, Joseph,
Moses and Lot, now in this city, are
specimens of physical manhood that
will soon be lost to their race. Sturdy
sons of the mountains and table-lands of
the continent are they, with leathern
lungs and sinews of steel. The vices of
civilization haze not tainted thcir blood,
nor its Injuries Slapped their strength.
The past of their race is represented in
the persons of these warriors the present
is mournfully told and the future patheti-
cally foreshadowed by the words of one
of them: The majority of our young
men have been attacked by pulmonary
consumption and the race is dying
out. > Portland 0regonian

Afr-ShfUa.

Anyone who has ever dreamed of
flying must have a vivid impression
Of the pleasure that would be de-
rived from the ability to navigate the
air.
From the days Of the Montgolfiers
and their hot-air balloons to the pres
ent time, many false hopes have been
held out that man was on the point
Of making highway OF the atmos-
phere, as he has done of the sea.
But repeated disappointments have
bred general incredulity on this sub
iect.
When, however, man of the
scientific reputation Of Prof. S. p.
Langley demonstrates. as he has re-
Gently done by series of original ex-
periments. that heavy bodies can be
sustained in the air, with rapid mo-
ton, there is good reason to hope that
the problem of mechanical fight may
yet be solved.
The principle upon which Professor
Langley worked will be readily
grasped by any boy who has ever
SHE'D thin, fiat stone, or piece of
slate into the air or upon the surface
CT smooth water, and watched it
skim along.
Professor Langley experimental
with thin metallic planes, and dis
covered that the time Of fall of such
plane, even though it may be heav-
lily weighted, can be indefinitely pro-
longed by imparting to the plane
sufficiently swift lateral motion. In
ller words, the plane mag be made
: side through the air without de-
scending to the earth.
BY tipping the plane 50 that as it
moves forward the air will strike
against its under surface, the ten
dency to fall to the ground is counter
balanced. One of the most interest
ing facts shown by the experiments
is, toquote Professor Langley's words,
that, "the force required to sustain
inclined planes in horizontal aerial
locomotion diminishes instead Of in
creasing when the velocity is aug
mented.
1t is only necessary that the flying
plane shall carry its own motor and
steering apparatus, in order to trans
form it into veritable ship of the
air. We may soon see Professor
Langley's idea put into practice, for
Mr. Maxim, in England, is reported
to be about to launch flying machine,
constructed on this principle, and
consisting of a plane one hundred and
ten feet long by forty feet wide,
which is to be propelled by screw
driven by a petroleum condensing en-
CINE weighing eighteen hundred
pounds.
Such a machine speeding through
he air with a load of passengers
would be almost as wonderful sight
as Prince Ahmed's flying carpet
Youths Companion.

the brook with him To see him wade.
With loving care he dragged board
across the brook for her to walk upon
while he waded beside her in water

Suddenly, as if he had just realized
what she was deprived of in being a

the outcome will be. Hon. S. E. Stebbins
wrote one of the railroad company's at
torneys in Minneapolis. and received
reply,W which indicated that the company
claims the land, and has not recognized
the patents and warranty deeds from
the governor. No one seems to be able
to forecast the situation. Hundreds of
farmers will be completely ruined, and
many have everything invested in their
land. The situation is most alarming.
and unless active steps are taken at
once to make settlement with the rail
way company or the farmers who have
loet their homes, great loss to the state
will unSue. Richland county is one OF

THEY STILL WRANGLE.
Resubmission and Capitol Re-
moval at Bismarck, N. ID.

mOval at Bismarck, n. ID.
Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, n. D., Feb. 17.-There
was an unexpected sensation in the
senate to-day when the question of APP
proving the journal came up, and the
result was a speedy adjournment with
| out approving it. Saturday all the
/ western members voted with the high
license men for resubmission. This
carried by the bare constitutional num-
ssber sixteen. Immediately after that Jud
4 Lamoure, who had led the resubmission
flight, introduced resolution looking to
capital removal. This made the west
Eern members mad. The Prohibitionists
voted almost to a man for the capital
resolution in retaliation OH the Missouri
slope members, and some of the reSub
miSSi0niStS, among them Capt. McCOr-
mack, of Grand Forks, who were
also interested in capital removal,
rejoiced greatly. To-day the Missouri
slope members favored referring the
journal to committee and the holding
of both capital and reSubmiSsion reSolu-
tions pending approval of the journal.
Finally. for the purpose of consultation,
an adjournment was taken till tO-m0r
row. Some Grand Forks people are
crltiZisipg the action of others in at
tempting capital removal. not being GER
tain of the result, and believing resub-
mission of greater interest to the people
of that city. 1t is difficult to predict to-
morrow'S action, but it is believed the
Prohibitionists will succeed in eXpung-
ing all III relation to these resolutions
from the record and annull the action
OF Saturday. In the house the appro-
priation bills were reported, with ma
jority and minority reports on most of
them, Beardsley and Fay signing the
minority reports for cutting done. They
will be made special order for Thurs
dav.
Later.-It is now an open secret that
deal has been fixed up whereby the
senate will tomorrow eXpunge from the
record all proceedings in reference to
the passage of the resubmiSsion reSolu-
ton and the passage of the capitals re-
moyal resolutions. Both will die to-
gether. This is done by combination
of the ants with Western members,
who by this means retaliate on Judge
IIamoure and M. l.. Mccormack for
their attitude on the capital removal
scheme,
