I'VE SHALL BE ABLE TO FLY.

Shall we ever be able to fiy?" stri- dently and sarcastically asks the "top- ical song' man. And MT. Hiram Maxim answers and says we shall. He asserts that as the result of experiments he has made there Is not the shadow of a doubt In his mind that successful air navigation, certainly by machines to be employed for military purposes, is a result to be expected in the near future. And we have the experiments made by Professor Langley of the Smithsonian Institute which also go to show, as MT. Maxim's work has done, that a flying machine can be developed which can carry its own power with 1t. and can readily sail through the air. Professor Langley's experiments have been car ried on with the assistance and under the personal direction of Dr. Carl Barus, who until a year ago was con- neoted with the United States geological survey as its physicist The work of these two men has been of an intensely scientific and yet practical character. They have had to develop first the theory of air navigation, and then to put their theories into practice The re- suit has been a self-sustaining flying machine built upon principle which, if enlarged, could readily be made to carry human beings.
 Come, fly with me-" the lover long has said, meaning thereby that he has desired his dearest to ride away with him, run away with him or walk away with him. Soon he will be able to mean what he says by such request. And what a fine thing 1t will be to fly away on both the wings of love and the wings of the flying machine.

4 QUESTION.

Rev. Dr. Joseph Parker, of the City Temple, London, recently berated the newspapers for printing his sermons on the ground that if they are printed in the newspapers he cannot use them again or sell them. His anger has provoked considerable comment. One man writes to a paper saying that he has been in the habit of reading Dr. Parker's sermons to an invalid friend, but he now sees that he was wrong. He ought to have sent the reverend doctor at least three shillings first.
 The question thus raised is very interesting one. There is distinguish ed preacher of the gospel in this city who has more than once refused to let the readers of the local newspapers have the opportunity to benefit by his preaching because he had sold or was going to sell his sermon. Having made one profit out of it by preaching it to those who hired him to preach it he was figuring on another profit out of some- body who thought it was worth buying even at second hand. This thrifty man. euvering has not been objected ito by those who have the first claim on the gospel that he breaches, and we don't know that it ought to be- And we don t know that there can be any fair objec- ton on the part of readers of news papers who cannot get chance to read a good sermon because the preach CT thereof has a chance to sell it for what it is worth. The theory on which objection is founded is, we suppose, that preachers ought to welcome every opportunity to do good, and that if they can preach through the newspa- pers to many thousand readers they ought to be glad to do 1t, even without pay. The theory of the preachers is, we suppose, that the laborer is worthy of his hire, that his hire is whatever he can get, that he can do good and make money quite as we'll as he can do good for nothing, and that no preacher of real good sermons ought to be asked to give them to hungry public free of charge, even after he has been paid once for them.
 We cannot decide this complicated question. It is a generous thing for a distinguished preacher to let a news paper give to thousands the benefit of his preaching. We do not suppose that the apostles would have hesitated about it. But they were not very distinguish ed and their sermons were not high priced. They didn't get big salaries for preaching and they couldn't have sold their sermons after they had preached them if they had wanted to. And times have changed. Distinguish ed preaching nowadays appears to be worth all 1t will bring, and occasionally

JAMES D. McaRUER.

LII the death of James ID. McGruer
who passed away at seven o'clock last
Monday evening, Langdon loses one of
its most successful and respected
citizens. The deceased was the victim
of short but a severe attack of brain
fever, which bafded the skill of three
attending physicians, He was native
of Williamstown, Ont, and was thirty
nine years of age at the time of his
death. He was married to the lady,
who now nourns his departure six
years ago, by whom he became the
father three children, all of whom
are still living.
In 1882 he came from Manitoba to
Pembina county. where he became es-
tablishedin business at Hamilton and
remained there until the fall of 1887,
at which time, in company with several
others he removed to this city. No pen
can eulogize the deceased too highly.
He was foremost in all movements of
public enterprise, either business or
social. Was a good neighbor and a
kind friend, a loving father and a de-
voted husband and his LOVING actions
will always be remembered by his
family and acquaintance. But for
him the battle is over; the trials and
tribulations Of life are left behind.
The night has passed its watches are
over his vigils are ended; and when he
closed his eyes in their last earthly
sleep, it was with the assurance that
when they should open again it would
be in world where there is neither
pain nor night nor; death. Time will
heal the wounds, but it willnot destroy
the memory of him. His hapds gave
help and his words gave courage.
Depth cannot efface their remem-
brance.
The funeral occurred this afternoon
at one o'clock, the services being con-
