Lawyer John Fow disposed of a knotty
legal problem the other day without re-

PROF. BELLS FLYING MACHINE.
Expects to Have It In Successful Opera
ton Before Summer Passes.

A special to the New York Times from
Halifax. N. s., yesterday says: Prof. Alex
ander Graham Bell of telephone fame to-
day made a statement about his aerial
navigation experiments with kites at his
summer home. He denied the report that
he had an airship ready to be launched, but
he expects to have a flying machine in sue
cessful operation before the summer is
over. Asked whether 1t would be possible
to work in a calm flying machine built on
the kite principle. Mr.. Bell replied:
1.-The invention of flying machine is a
possibility for the near future. No one
who has noticed the flight Of birds can for
one moment doubt the possibility of fight
by body specifically heavier than the air.
I am convinced that the flying machine of
the future certainly will be built on the
aeroplane theory. machine capable of
combating atmospheric conditions success
fully must be heavier than the air, and to
a certain extent capable Of utilizing these
atmospheric conditions
