THE BROOKLYN INVENTOR.

A FEW days ago we published an
article which treated upon remark.
able piece OF mechanism by means Of
which the inventor, Charles O..
Loeber, OF Brooklyn, claims he viii be
able to iiy through the air safely Mt a
tremendous rate Of speed. We remem.
ber Mr.. Loeber when he resided In
utab. lie practiced law and engaged
tn some extent In mining and other
pursuits, In none Of which he was
successful. According to our recollec.
ton he was q well.behaved man, aud
the possessor Of considerable ability,
without the tact TO utilize Il for the
teneht Of himself or anybody else.
When resident Of this city he under
took the rolo Of lecturer, his subject
being "The Signs Of the Times" The
lecture was delivered to small
audience In the old "Liberal Insti.
tute" building. II showed careful
preparation and considerable ability,

We hope that MIR. Losber, who

demonstrating the feasibility Of aerial

IN report to the Council, made
last Tuesday night, tho committee on
public works stated that there was an
obstacle in the way OF the complete
opening Of Richards street, ut the
south end Of that thorough fare. Tho
committee recommended that steps be
taken with view to tho removal OF
the hiudranoe. Tho subject is now In
the hands Of the comm lttoe ON streets.
As the obstacle consists Of q
reluctance ON the part OF lease
holders to relinquish possession
Of pioreriy, we trust that the commit

OF securing tho settlement Of the mat

that, In cAses Of this kind, this friendly
method Ia much better for all parties
concerned than an arbitrary recourse
to condemnatio n Of property.

II will he necessary for the commit.
tee to proceed cautiously, because the
subject entrusted to them for con-

utlractiveness would vanish into thin
air, and the admiration II has always
inspired would be- transformed into
loathing.
It may be held-we understand
some do take tho position-that the
sewage would extend only limited
distance beyond the point OF emptylng.
We do notknow by what process this In.

But even II this should be the case and
II 1t should be demonstrated by chem.

one physician who testified at the
trial mentioned, said that only two or
three Of the many brands Of cigarette
on the market were innocent Of opium,
ami that an Unsuitable appetite was
created by their use, similar to the ei.

tobacco smoking has become 80 wide
spread that the officers OF the law are
generally In sympathy with the smoker,
and consequently with the dealer In
tobacco.
In this Territory there is statute
forbldding the sale of cigarettes,
tobacco, opium or any other kind Of
narcotic TO any person under eighteen
years Of age, with the exception Of a
narcotic upon the prescription Of
physician. The penalty for selling,
giving .r turnishings narcotic in any
form to such minor, is n fine Of not
less than ton nor more than one hun.
bred dollars. See Laws OF Utah, 1890,
page 90.
We have mover heard Of single
case brought before court under this
law. Yet any little boy or girl who
has n nickel can buy cigar cites at cer-
tain stores, and they seem to go Ia
company with candy at many places
In town. Boys who do not use cigar.
ettos appear TO be exceptions to the
general rule. Little bits Of fellows,
scarcely old enough to 20 to school,
are among the smokers OF these vile

which were suggested In our circular

examined, the results will show how

In view Of this, and the great mercy

when the vote was taken it showed ma
Jority OF ten in favor ofdeclaring the strike
OIL. A member of the advisory board
said today that he was trying to have the
strike declared off for some weeks, as he
knew 1t was lost and it would have been
better for the men to have done so then,
as great many more would have gotten
their places back. Those who cannot
get back are in bad fix, as
the relief funds will be stopped and many
hundreds of them have nothing to live
on. The people of Homestead. especially
business men, are highly elated over the
declaration to call the strike off. for if it
had continued much longer it would have
ruined the town. Many business houses
fell into the hands of the sheriff since the
strike has been on.
The strike at one time involved nearly
10000 men and the loss in wages will reach,
1t is said, in the neighborhood of s., 600 900.
Then there is the immense loss to the
hrm which can not be estimated, but which
conservative people think is at least
double the amount lost by the men In
wages. TO this can be added nearly $780,
700 paid to the state troops and
the cost to the county of Alle-
gheny for riot. treason and other causes
growing out of the strike. At least thirty
five deaths were directly caused by the
strike. which started on the morning of
July 8, 1882
