flying in mid air by artificial means is
being perfected and right at our doors
From the wind swept top of Kill Devil
Hill, one hundred and twenty feet above
the ground, a daring young aeronaut
leaps into space and travelling upon a
frail machine reaches the ground In safety
hundreds of yards from whence III leaped.
Next summer he will attach an electric
motor and propeller to his contraption
and vie with the birds in flight; defying
gravitation and adverse winds.

manufacturers of Dayton, Ohio: Prof. o.
Chaneut, a noted scientist and aerlelist
of Chicago, and DR.. Spratt, a Philadel-
phian, who has delved deep in the mys.
teries OF aeronautics are eneamped at
Kitty Hawk. in lower Currituck county.
On the bleak sand banks they have erect
ed machine shop and in their secluded
quarters are thinking, planning and per-
feeting in hopes of some day startling
science and the world with a presenta-
tion, to mankind, of transportation
through space.
This colony of inventors has been en-
camped at Kitty Hawk for the past three
summers and have been laboring ardu-
ously in the perfection OF flying ma
chine. At present their experiments are
confined to the aeroplane or gliding ma
chine. The aeroplane is a flimsy box
kite affair with number of silken wings
and steering attachment OF like materia,
With this frail contrivanee the aeronaut
leaps from the crest of the highest sand
down on our banks and, borne upon the
wind, he steers his queer craft right or
left, goes downward or upward until the
velocity Of the wind abates and compels
a descent.
These experiments have proved sue
cessful and the enthusiastic inventors
will next summer attach propelling power
to their invention and no longer rely
upon the wind.
They have discovered that their ma
chine will work successfully in mid air
so long as the wind maintains a velocity
of eleven miles an hour. They have per-
fected motor and propeller that will
drive the machine and all that remains is
to connect the two. This they are now
preparing to do and another year will de-
clare their efforts, failure or success
They claim there can be no failure
