AERIAL NaVIcATION-


wheel Flying Machine.
The essence of Professor Wellner's in
novafion is his invention OF the sail
wheel. It consists Of n horizontally
placed axis with spokes and arched
aeroplancs attached 10 them in cylin-
dricaf form. While revolving round the
axis the latter take slightly slanting
position. which causes the forward edges
of these surfaces to be inclined, and con-
sequently to compress the air in the way
of sail or a kite. calling into play the
vertical force. Three ribs running across
each lifting surface and made in the
form OF screw at the same time serve
to strengthen the aeroplanes and to add
to the horizontal force.
These sail wheels Get In pairs can be
placed. according to the size of airship
aimed at. in one or suore groups of two
wheels, revolving in opposite directions.
behind or beside each other. The cigar
shaped car, furnished with a motor and
carrying the aeronauts. is attached hori-
zontally under the center of the wheels,
so that the whole construction will re-
semble a colossal bird, propelled. in
stead of by wings, by revolving wheels,
the lifting surfaces of which are con
secutively and constantly developing
vertical and horizontal power. The
birds movements in flying and the
speedy Roadway motion necessary to the
kite flying machines for their support
in the air are in Professor Wellner's in
vention changed to q rotary motion.
This construction, while permitting of
an easy, slow ascent, assures the hori-
zontal position and constant stability of
the airship, at the same time permitting
of high velocity.
The more the latter is increased the
stronger is the lifting power developed.
The direction is given by rudder at the
end of the ship or by increasing the
velocity of the sail wheels on one side
only. 1t is the peculiar quality of these
wheels that they do not, as might be
supposed. disperse the air around them.
They rather attract it toward their rap
idly moving surface, condensing it to
powerful stream. which passes down
obliquely through their cylinders. Their
velocity can be made to surpass by far
that Of railway trains, thus enabling
them to conquer contrary winds and air
currents. Miss Helene Bonfort in Pop
ular Science Monthly.

PAIKE'S CELERY COMPOUND is The

1t Restores the Neglected,
Famished Nerve Parts.
1t Replaces Worn-Out Tissue:
With New, Vigorous Ones.

Paine's celery compound is the one as
sured remedy for rheumatism and neural
gia that is every day accomplishing all
that physicians claim for it!
Both these oldtime obstinate diseases
are to-day speedily and permanently cured
by Professor Edward E. Phelps great pre-
scription. Neuralgia and rheumatism are
merely names for certain reduced state
of the nervous tissues. As far as causes go
they do not much differ from nervous de-
bility, headaches, dyspepsia and sleep
lessness.
The mischief is the same in every case, a
nervous system robbed of life and SUBJ
stance by over exertion and scanty nutri-
ton. The cure for all these is likewise in
the same direction. Strengthen and re-
store the nerves to their normal condition
with Paine's celery compound.
1t is the advice of the ablest physicians
everywhere.
As soon as all the countless nerve CEN
tiers and fibeis have been made sound and
strong not only rheumatism and neural
gia but low spirits, kidney trouble dis

tive work in a simple, straightforward
way 1t wastes little time on the minute

the arteries with rich, new blood, and
i building up the body for its fight against
disease.
Low spirits lose their power when the

THE NEW FERRY DEPOT,
Bids Will Be Advertised for
the Structure Within
Two Weeks.
The Consulting Architects VIII
Meet With the Commissioners
This Morning.

The Harbor Commissioners will meet
this morning at 10 o'clock, when it is ex-
pected that definite action will be taken in
regard to building the much-talked- of
ferry depot. A. Page Brown will meet
with them, and also Consulting Architects
Percy and Hamilton, who were called in
by Mr.. Colnon to make certain modifca-
tons in the plans and specifications.
Il can safely say that the Commission
ers will advertise for bids on the ferry de-
pot building within the next two weeks, :"
said Mr.. Colnan last night. 'In fact, if
the meeting tomorrow results as / think it
will the legal advertising will commence
next week.
There has been considerable comment
in certain quarters about delay and all that
sort of thing, but in building costing
5000, 600 and requiring two years to COM
cuts very little Inquire. Under the old con-
tract the architect was given unlimited
discretion and power, but all this is now
vested in the commissioners. The specifi-
cations have been overhauled ana stripped
of all ambiguous language, SO there is no
possible chance for contractors to- make
any changes or substitutlons whereby a
few thousands could be made on the out
side.
1.-The consulting architects, Percy and
Hamilton, will sign the plans and specif-
cations as corrected by them, which will,
of course, eliminate all chance Of future
denial as to whether certain recommends
lions were made or not While the Com
missioners have not accepted as final the
WORK of these gentlemen, there is prac-
tically no doubt as to their acceptance,
probably o-morrow-certainly not later
than the end of the present week.
''It has been Stated that there was little
or no difference between the old and new
contract with the architect. This wish
to emphatically deny. The two documents
are in the office of the Commissioners, SUBJ
ject to the inspection of every one. The
architect is powerIess to make any changes
in the plans or specifications without the
full consent of the Harbor Commissioners.

PLANTATION that, inasmuch as the outgoing
moderator is advanced in years, it would be
we'll to elect a young man as his successor,
and he named the Rev. ID. Hanson Irwin.
But the election was not to go uncontested,
as has been the custom for several years.
The Rev. j. G. Smith, after most fiatter-
ing tribute to The merits of the Rev. John
M. Ross, named him as a candidate. Mr..
Ross was elected.
The reliring moderator welcomed the new
incumbent to the chair. 1t seems that
twins arrived in the Ross family only a
little over week ago.
The Rev. Herbert n. Bevier was elected
temporary clerk without opposition.
To-day the presbytery will hold bust
ness session, beginning at half-past 9
o'clock.
Rev. Mr.. Woodworth's sermon was an
explanation of the meaning of 'Holy
Spirit" and an assertion that every child
of God has it. The word ghost" he
said, was simply the old English for
esprit" He explained that the definite
article used before Esprit" or Holy
One" indicates emphaticaly distinct
personality, while those words, when used
without the article, mean simply character
or influences. In this latter sense, synono-
nous with genUleness and amiability, the
speaker said that every Christian should
be filled with holy spirit, which can only
be obtained by fuller reception of the
personal Holy Spirit, which is the Lord
Jesus Christ.

Smoking on the Bicycle.

The cycling editor of LIE Monde Illustre
PARIS makes few pertinent observations in
the current issue regarding the use of tobacco
while riding. He says: SHOULD one smoke
while cycling? Our cycling contemporary, LIE
Velo, thus replies to this question:: 'Undoubt-
eddy the use of tobacco while cycling is in
furious. The stronger the tobacco the more is
it injurious, for the reason that nicotine, the
active basis of tobacco, is one of the greatest
known agents for retarding the action of the
heart. In the exercise of cycling the heart is
worked up to a high pitch of action, especially
in rapid riding. In consequence, anything
be injurious. On the other hand, also, to-
bacco is found to render the nerves torpid.
"'These reasons should suffice to convince
cyclists that the use of tobacco while on the
wheel is Injurious. OF course, a light pipe or
cigarette on dismounting is comparatively
harmless. Note, all We cyclistsp"

James G. Kennedy, the well-known edu-

the San Francisco Normal School, died
suddenly last night. Apoplexy, with in

the Girls High School at the time;

his daughter, Miss Josie, and was
waiting for the reading to commence.

OLYMPIC CLUB KIOKERs.
Football Team to Represent the C1ut
Against All Corners.

Against All Corners.
The Olympic Club is determined to be
well represented this year in all branches
of athletic sports, and with that object in
view a meeting will be held on Friday
evening at 1880 o'clock, the object of which
is the formation of a football team that
will represent the club this coming winter
in games played with the Stanford and
University of California elevens and per-
haps the Reliance Club team of Oakland.
Manager Kennedy received letter few
days ago from the secretary OF the Multi
nomah Athletic Club of Portland, Or,
stating that If the Olympic Club should
send team of football-players to Oregon
it will receive a right royal welcome
and be well received. When the infor-
nation reached the ears of some of the old
football kickers, the following well-known
amateur athletes signified their intention
of going Immediately into training in the
hope that a team can be selected from
among the players to represent the club
against the Multnomah team on Thanks
giving day: II. Walton, P. Benson, w.
Smith, II. P. Taylor, P. Morse, G. E.
Crumpe, G. White, III. White, F. V. King

1t has been common talk in the Olympic
Club for some time that with all the avail
able talent at hand it has never yet placed
good football team in the field. 1t can
be said however, that Captain Gill will sc
arrange matters athleticalIy that no fur.
Their complaint will be heard, and that the
Olympic Club will in future be well repre-
sented in all outdoor lines of sport.
