FLyING MACHINE.

A successful trial of flying machine
was made on Thursday near Kitty Hawk,
NC by Wilbur and Orville Wright,
of DAYTON. O.. The machine flew for
three miles in the face Of wind blow
{; at the, registered velocity of q miles
nm hour then gracefully descended to
earth at the spot selected by the man IN
the navigator car as a suitable landing
Mace. The machine has no balloon at
tachment, but gets its force from pro-
pellers worked by a small engine. Pre-
paratory to its fight the machine was
nlaced upon platform near Kitty Hawk.
Tb;s nlatform was built on hIgn sand
hill. and when all was in readiness the
fastenines TO the machine were released,
and if started down Ian incline. The
navigator. Wilbur Wright, then started
a small gasoline engine which worked
the nropellers. When the end of the
incline was reached the machine grad
ually arose until it obtained an altitude
of 60 feet. In the face Of the strong
wind blowing it maintained an even
speed of eight miles an hour, The idea
of the box kite has been adhered to IN
the basic formation Of the flying ma
chine. A huge frame work OF hight
timbers. 80 feet wide, 5 feet deep and
feet across the top forms the machine
proper. This is covered with tough,
but light canvas. In the center is the
navigator's car, and suspended just below
the bottom plan is small gasoline en-
zine which furnished the motive power
for the propelling and eleyating wheels
There are two six bladed propellers, one
arranged just below the center OF the
frame, so gagged as TO exert an upward
force when in motion, and the other
extends horizontally to the rear from the
center of the car, furnishing the for
ward impetus. Protruding from the
center of the car is a huge ian-shaped
rudder of canvas stretched upon a frame
of wood. This rudder is controlled by
the navigator and may be moved to each
side. raised or lowered.
