Homing Pigeons at Mare Island
MILWAUKEE, Wis, April lotto
L. Kuehn of the Excelsior Homing
Club of this city has presented the
Government with II of his homing
pigeons, the offspring of which will be
used in the naval service. The Gov
eminent saw the good results of the
pigeon-fiying during the last season,
and offered Mr.. Kuehn a good round
sum for some of the birds. Mr.. Kuehn,
however, sent the pigeons to the Gov
eminent gratis.
The birds will be used to carry mes
sages on the Pacific Coast, with their
headquarters at Mare Island. When
cruisers leave the headquarters they
will take the birds with them for 400
or 500 miles and then send messages
back to the Coast by means of the
pigeons.

Airship Seen in Mineral Point.

We have been skeptical concern
ing the airship reported to have been
seen sailing about Chicago and Mil
waukee, but we can doubt no more.
The ship has been seen in Mineral
Point, according to the testimony of
people whose veracity is unquestion-
able as the modesty which forbids
the publication of their names. One
of these, a young musician who lives
in the Third ward, was going home
Monday night, in time for an early
breakfast, when, as he turned the
corner near Terrill's hotel, he saw a
bright light in the northern sky. 1t
nor's ice house, with three cupalos,
atop of each of which sat an Ameri-
can eagle with outspread wings. 1t
moved with a swaying, uncertain
motion in its onward flight. AS it
was passing almost directly over
him, the young man noticed that a
sort of tubular contrivance had been
let down, evidently with the purpose
of %atfording him means of ascent. AS
it came toward him he seized the OBJ
ject with both arms and was prepar-
ing to climb up by the juvenile proc
ess known rs "shinningN when Doc
Holmes Mapped along, seized him by
the arm and dragged him off to his
home. Our young friend says he
hasn't a doubt that if he had been
left alone he would have been aboard
the airship in two minutes more.
We have evidence of a number of
people to the same effect. 1t is all
just as definite as this, and leaves no
room to doubt that the airship is a
reality. These people are reputable
citizens, not sleepwalkers, and what
they tell us we must believe.
