Flying Machine Tested,

A Mr.. Foster. of Salem, Mass, has
invented and built a flying machine.
and the other day he gave it a practi,
cal test in the presence of a few fay.
ored friends. One of them indiscret.
~ let the results of the trial escape
him. The test took place in the ma.
chine shop, where the machine had
been built, the large double doors be-
ing left open so that it could fly out.
The machine did everything that was
expected of it, except to fly. When it
was fired up, the little gauge register
Ell Just an even 200 pounds, and the
men who were standing around were
afraid the boiler would burst. 1t did
not, however, and after seeing to it
that the fans would clear everything
and that the big folding doors were
open, Mr.. Foster got aboard and
dramatically said Let her 90 y
Everybody was perfectly willing that
he should go as far as he wished and
scampered out of the proposed route.
Then the inventor turned the steam
on and the fans began to go around
at a terrible rate and the machine
ratified. Three of the men got be.
hind and pushed it along on the floor,
but 1t did not 90 up. Mr.. Foster
looked at his speed Indicator and
round that the fans were making ONLY
1900 revolutions per minute. when
they should make 1900. He then ran
the steam pressure up to 225 pounds,
but the fans didn't go any faster.
Ihcy went fast enough to blow Mr..
FOSTERS hat out the window, but not
last enough to blow the flying ma
chine and its inventor up .in the air.
After several attempts, without sue
cess, the trial was declared to be over
ana Mr. Foster said he was gong to
gear those fans up to 20O0 revolutions
per minute and see if that would do
any good.

Tobacco Culture.

V "
The last of the late Tlloms D.
Baird's writings for the agricultural
press appears in the Southern Cult.
Vator for July. 1t is a brief article
on tobacco culture. The following
are the leading points contained in il
"A stocky plant makes the best to-
Dacco in every respect, best shaped
leaves and heaviest, best bodied
plant; therefore one should not SOW
their seed beds too thick. A yellow
plant lives best. Never use a long,
slanky plant, and if you have no 9th
ers and have to set such, set them as
deep as possible. Some growers lay
the plant down, but unless you are
careful in. hoeing and blowing you
may pull it up.
Tobacco should have plenty of
room to grow in. 1t natures better
and makes a better crop. On good
land | find l grow the best crops with
rows marked off four feet each way.
This gives room for better cultiya-
ton, and allows the lower leaves
plenty of sunshine, which is essential
to make body and weight. The prin-
cipal cause OF the lower leaves. of the
tobacco plants being thin and chaify
is shade. Planted wide let's in sun
shine and frcer circulation of air, and
more dew can and will settle on the
lower leaves, which aids greatly in
making good tobacco.

During a revival of religion among
the negroes of Baker county, an old
negro told his wife that he had 0seeu
a vision" and hsd be- commanded to
go into the old field about midnight
and seek religion.
His wife was impressed with his &C.

to follow its commandment.
Accordingly about II O'Clock the
next night the old negro started on
his mission.
He had been away perhaps an hour,
when his wife heard groans outside,
accompanied by loud banging on the
door.
Discovering that it was her hus.

has tenedto admit him, and when he

The captain of the ship Ophir, which
arrived at this port yesterday to load
lumber. feels justly indignant over
the tugboat captains importunate at
tempt to force the Ophir to stop at Port
Townsend for supplies before coming
to the Bay. The tugboat captain as
serted that there were no stores on the
Bay at which supplies could be secured,
and revamped the old lies for which
Port Townsend residents are proverbial
ia their efforts TO iBjHre more prosper
Gus cities. That a tugboat captain
should go 10 the extreme of endeavOr-
ing TO force a vessel to stop at Port
Townsend, even against the com.
mander's expressed determination not
to put In at that point, is the pursuit of
short-sighted policy, which can only
revert to the injury of a city which
endeavors to secure trade by such dis
honorable methods. Heretofore the
HERALD has felt considerable SYM
pathy for Port Townsend in its strug-
giles against adversely, but self-pro-
lection is one of natures strong
est laws, and the time has
arrived when decisive steps should be
taken to offset the policy of discrimina-
ton which the Port Townsend tug
boatmen are pursuing against Belling-
ham bay. In view of the increasing
foreign shipments from the Bay there
has been considerable talk of organfz- |
ing local tug boat company, which
has been discouraged up to this time
out of sympathy for the Port Townsend |
association, but actions of this char
acter will compel such a course. The
Blue Canyon company asserts that the |
captains of vessels coming to the Bay |
for coal meet the same treatment from
the tug boat men, who endeavor to |
compel them, by making all sorts of
Misrepresentation to first land at Port |
Townsend. The Key City already has
an unenviable reputation in this direc-
ton, as evidenced by the following
quotation from yesterdays issue of the
Tacoma Ledger:
Port Angeles is now claiming a larger
population than Port Townsend, and if /
she hasn't it now probably will have be-
fore many moons. Port Angeles people /
generally pull together, and don't spend
all their time trying to injure other
cities -

Progress In Fruit Culture

There is certain little machine which
is more important than even the political
machine and hundred times as useful.
Instead of producing harmful results it

ravages of the chinch bug in grain crops.
Whole fields were ruined, and the farm

mortgage. Plum orchards were worth

faithful experimenting and reporting the
insect pests and blight, rot and mildew
which attack vegetation promise soon
to vanish into the past. This is one of
the things science has done for faming.
There are two kinds of destroyers of
vegetation, one insect, the other vege-

fungous growths. Thespores fly through

The improved machinery Just re-
ceived by the Blue Canyon company
was badly needed, and its further alb
sence would have considerably embar-
raised the company in meeting the
numerous orders which have been com.
ing in of late from different parts of the
state, as well as from California. The
new machinery, which will greatly in
crease the output of the mine, will be
put in place as rapidly as possible, in
order to facilitate the supplying of
orders now in the hands of the COM
pany. With a vessel now loading coal
at the bunkers, and the Theobald on
its way for another cargo, and with two
vessels loading lumber at the Cornwall
mill, and two others on their way to
the Bay for cargoes, and several Others
chartered, 1t begins to look as though
the New Years prophecy of the HER
AID concerning the revival of trade on
the Bay would be fulfilled.
