did better on Wednesday. Here it
was beaten by score of 6 to !. They

and there are probably extenuating
in connection with this.
The only thing that cannot be for
given until new light is secured Is the
refusal TO send the score even after 10

From Brownsville comes announce
ment that Prof William schick, of
flying machine fame, Is about to at
tempt another aerial fight
The professor who formerly lived at
Monongahela, essayed an excursion
into space from West Monongahela
hill. The flying machine was equip
ped with complete assortment of
sails, wings, tins, tln-tubes, etc. 1t
was propelled by series of explo-
sions,
Wide interested was maifested in
the device. An air line to Plttsburg

erful stock company with limitless cap
ital, for the manufacture and sale Of
the Schiek flying machine was talked
OF. The professor reposed implicit
confidence in his creation. ln appear
ance it was wonder. There seemed
To be no reason in the world why it
should not bllthely dance and duck
among the clouds or skim lightly over
mUorland and lea.
And in fact when the day for test
arrived, only one solitary defect was
discovered 1T wouldn't go. The pro-
fesser brought all his arts OF bland
ishment aud argument TO bear on tais
situation. He let out bit more sale
here, took reef there uttered impas-
stoned words OF exhortation and en-
couragement.
But the machine was obstinate as a
deadlocked council. The professor
retired from the hill with an express
sion of resignation on his features and
resolution locked in his breast.
Fly, certainly be could not fly. And
though the valley was peopled with
folks from Missouri, he'd show them
yet.
He put his think tank into work
ing order aud began running 1t over
time.
Between music lessons he studied
the thing out Months later he re-
moved to Brownsville. Perhaps IL was
a better place to think. Not for an
instant did he consider the abandon
ment of his project.
At last! H0oray Here was the Diff
ficulty right here-the attraction OF
gravitation. This must be overcome.
The whole trouble lay right in the
machines tendency TO return TO the
earth after it was once started.
The force of grayit y-that was it.
The source of the difficulty once I'M
earthed, the Professor set about to
find a remedy.

not telling the world his secret. That
is not the way OF flying machine In

chine on new lines When machine
No. 2 is completed, it will embrace
features that will cause the force Of
gravity to hide IT'S bushes.
The date fer the ascent has not been
fixed It will be at Brownsville, and
it will be soou. The valley is in
6utter OF expectancy, and many are
said to he providing themselves with
telescopes in order TO watch the pro-
fessur's flight into The aerial blue.
1t is stated ttaL if the professor
again finds himself uaable to fly his
machine be will at least fly into pas
