OUR HEROES AND OUR FLAGS.
a Beautiful Souvenir for Subscribers
to the News and Observer.

Beginning with Monday, the News
and Observer will offer to it's readers
a beautiful souvenir of the Confeder-
acy. 1t is a picture which artistically
embodies incidents, together with por-
traits of soldiers who were prominent
on the Southern side of the great con-
fict. The central figure is a medallion
of Gen. r. f. Lee, and on either side is a
private of infantry and of cavalry.
Beneath is the inscription, sour He
roes and Our Flags" Under this is the
equestrian statue of Lee. Grouped
above and about these devices are
beautifully colored illustrations of four
different flags of the Cnfederacy. The
Lee Camp badge surmounts this central
gruping. Surrunding is a framework
continuing the war pictures of Presi-
dent jefferson Davis, Vice-PTesident
Alexander II. Stevens, and Generals
Jackson, Price, Polk, Hardee, j. +. b.
Stuart, Johnston, Kirby Smith, J. II.
Morgan, EweH, Hampton, Cooper.
Longstreet, A. p. Hill, Hold. Braxton
Bragg, and Beauregard.
The whole forms an artistic picture,
which should be treasured by every
Southern family. 1T will serve to ia
miliarize rising generations with the
faces of our heroes and the conquered
banner"
We propose TO put this picture, a
copy Of which may be seen framed in
the News and Observer office within
the reach Of every one of our subacrib-
ers. You can get it this wise:

darlington Booth and his wife, Maud
b. Booth, have prepared statement,
which they will send to the members
of the Salvation Army throughout the
country, explaining their trouble with
London.
There were circumstances attending
the meeting of the Salvation Army in
Cooper Union last night that made it
extraordinary, compared with army
meetings in the past. The large hall
of Cooper Union was so crowded at S
o'clock that the doors were closed and
hundreds refused admittance. Then
the meeting was anything but har
monious.
The followers of former Commander
darlington Booth and sympathizers,
with the deposed commander and his
wife, composed the large majority of
those present, while the followers of
Commissioner Eva Booth, furnished

tinue our mission. Seeing that the
people Of the United States Of America
In an urgent and unmistakable manner
have voiced their desire. we should in
augurate a movement aifordihg MS an
opportunity TO continue our lab0rs for
the uplifting of the unchurched and
un-Christian people of our country.
and as there appears to be no aiterna-
tive between this course and retiring
from public service, we have decided
on the former course of action. II is
furthest from our desire that such a
new and independent movement should
be hostile to the one we have labored
SO long and so hard to upbuild. The
United States. with its vast and ever
increasing population, should offer ann
PIE room for such efforts without un-
Christian warning.
Third 1t would be premature to de-
eide on the details of our future Ia
bors. We seek, above all else, Gods
leading, and an organization cannot be
formed within a day; and one that
owns Christ as its head cannot be
founded on the opinion and enthusi-
asns of the moment. We shall prob
ably have but small beginning, and
gain step by step.
Fourth. We shall assuredly, under
any circumstances, stand for the prin-
ciples we have hitherto upheld, having
for our aim the saving Of souls, the
unity of effort in work, spiritual plain
ness. and self-sacrifice, and simplicity
of dress, that speaks Of our Christ

IL will be seen to be wise to do nothing
in haste, lest it should be ill-done; but
to do all with forethought, that il may
be well and permanently done.
I'VE are most anxious not to act on
impulse, or under strong pressure, but
as God shall guide us through circum-
stances, and with cool and calm judg-
ment as to what we believe and feel TO
be right In closing, we desire to as
sure all interested in this matter that
we have earnestly cOnsecrated our
lives to the service of strengthening
righteous principles and extending

Ii Was Deceived,

Much amusement has been caused by q u
incident in connection with Lii Hung
Chang's visit to the House OF Commons.
The Chinese .statesman's gaze, it ap-
pears, wandered over the leading Com
moners, the speaker. Sir william Har-
court and others, without the faintest
curiosity, until it rested upon the unas-
suming person of Mr.. william -McEwaD,
member for the Central Division of Edin-
burgh, and a member of the firm of Nc
EVAN & Co., the wellknown brewers of
that city.

and asked eagerly Tor information as to
the Identity OF Mr.. McEwan, and he was
somewhat disappointed to learn that he
was only humble member of the House

taken hold of by the hands, the arms
resting between cushions, thus supporting
| the body. The legs remain free for run
ming and jumping. The steering in the
air is brought about by changing the center
Of gravity. This apparatus 1 had CON-
stucted with supporting surfaces of ten
to twenty square metres. The larger
SAILING surfaces move in an incline of
one to eight, SO that one is enabled to fly
eight times as far as the starting hill
is high. The steering is facilitated by
the rudder, which is firmly fastened be-
hind in horizontal and vertical position.
The machines weigh, according to their
size, from 10 to 25 Kilograms (33 to 90
pounds.)
In order to practice flying with these
sailing su Races one first takes short jun ps
on somewhat inclined surface till he has
accustomed himself to be borne by the
air. Finally, he is able to sail over in
clned surfaces as far as he wishes.
The supporting capacity OF the air is
felt, particularly il there is a breeze A
sudden increase in the wind causes a
longer stoppage in the air, or one is raised
to still higher point.
The charm OF such flight is indescribable,
and there could not be a healthier motion
or more exciting sport In the open air.
THE CHARM OF FLIGHT.
The rivalry in these exercises cannot but
lead to q constant perfecting, OF the ap-
paratus, the same as, Tor instance, is the
case with bicycles. I speak from expert
ence, for, although the system of my sail
ing apparatus remains the same, it has
gone through numberless changes from
year to year. t5
The apparatus which I now employ for
my flying exercises contains great many
improvements as compared with the first
The morning times., 1896-08-16

the apparatus is, the better cont rol have
over it, and yet if employ smaller bear
ing surfaces In stronger winds, the re-
suits are not more favorable. The idea
therefore occurred to me to apply two
smaller surfaces, one above the other, +,
winch both have a lifting effect when sail
ing through the air. Thus the same result
must follow which would be gained by ID
single surface OF vice the bearing capacity.
but on account OF its small dimensions t is
{ apparatus obeys much better the changes
of the centre of gravity
Before 1 proceeded 10 construct these
double sailing machines, 1 made small
models in paper after that system, in order
to study the free moveme eDts In the air OF
such flying bodies and then TO construct
my apparatus on a large scale depending
on the results titus obtained. The very
first experiments with these small models
surprised me greatly on account Of tire
stability Of their flight. 1t appears as IL
the arrangement of having one surface over
the other had materially increased the
safety and uniformity OF the flight. AS a
rule II is rather difficult 10 produce models
resembling birds, which, left TO them
selves, glide through the air from higher
point in uniformly inclined lines. i need
only recall the extensive and expensive ex-
permeDts made by Mcssrs Riedinger, ven
Sigsfcld and Won Parsefal of Augsburg,
which show ed the difficulty of construct
ing models that would automatically take
up a course OF stable flight. / myself
doubted formerly very much that an in
animate body sailing quickly onward. could
be well balanced in the air. and was all the
better pleased in succeeding in this with
NV little double surfaces.
Relying on this experience constructed
first a double apparatus ip which each
surface contains nine square metres. l
thus produced a comparatively large bear
ing surface of eighteen square metres with
but five and a-haif metres span.

surfaces OF A square metres do not meas-
ure more than metres from point to
point, we can eventually overcome mosiey-
ate winds OF about Z metres velocity, pr q
vided one S well practieed. .'s'
With an apparatus of this sizei I has hap
pened to me that sudden increase in the
wind has aken me way up out OF the usual
course of flying, and has sometines Kept
me for several seconds at one point OF
the air. 1t has happened fh 2dch a case
that ] have been lifted vertically fy a
gust OF wind from the top OF The hill
floating for a time above the same at a
height OF about five metres, whence J then
continued fny flight against the wind.
Although, while making these expert
meDts l was thro wn about by the wind
quite violently and was made TO execute
quite a dance IN the air in order TO keep
my balance, / yet was always enabled
to effect safe landing, but still l came
to the conviction that an increase in the
size of the wings or the utilizing OF still
stronger winds which would lengthen the
journey in the air would necessitate some
thing being done to perfect the steering
and to facilitate the management of the
apparatus. This appeared TO me to be all
the more important as il is very necessary
for the development OF human flight that
all who take up such experiments shonld
quickly learn how to use the apparatus
safely and understood how TO use The same
even if the air is disturbed. IL Is IN the
wind that this practice becomes sd ex-
citing and bears the character OF a sTort,
for all the flights differ from each other
and the adrotness OF the sailing man las the
