"It's a boy" said P..F. O'Byrne, and
Peter is looking as gay as a peach over
it. The young man is as lively as a
cricket and we wish him all manner
of good things of this world. The
event occurred Monday morning.

Sheriff Campbell, on Monday, in
response to writ of habeas corpus
issued from the circuit court of the
northern district of Iowa, departed
with E. F.; Waite for hearing before
Judge Shiras at Fort Dodge, where
the power of an Iowa court to intlict
the penalty provided under our stat
ute upon federal appointee violating
such statute, will be passed upon.
VIM. Wilbraham and g. G. Upton .ap-
pear in tehalf of the state and Cato
Sells will appear for Waite. The con-
tention that the state courts have no
jurisdiction over federal officer who
violates state law may be true but
to US it seems absurd.
For significance, variety and inter
est of matter, and beauty of illustra-
ton, there rarely issues magazine
equal to the June number of McClure's
Professor Langley's account of his ten
years OF hard study and experiment
in the construction of hying-machines,
crowned at last with machine that
actually solves the problem and proves
mechanical flight to be both possi-
BILE and practicable, is a positive con-
tribution to science; but it is at the
same time most interesting story OF
heroic patience and effort directed to
a noble end. The paper is illustrated
with pictures OF Professor Langley's
own machine (the only hying-machine
that has ever flown) made under his
direction.
