PROF. LANOLEY'S
FLYING MACHINE

Warrington. d. c.. Aug. c:.-Profcs-
sor Langley has issued the following
statement from the Smithsonian lnsu-
tuition:
ITO the Prcss-The present expert
mcnta being made In mechanical flight
have been carried on partly with funds
provided by the board OF ordnance and
fortincations and partly from private
sources and from an endowment OF the
Smithsonian institution. The expert
mcnts are carried on with the approval
Of tho board of regents OF the Smith
sonian Institution.
'The pubiic's interest in them may
lead to an unfounded expectation as to
their immediate results. without an ex-
PLANTATION. which Is here briefly given:
These trials. with some conducted
with steamed driven flying machines. are
believed to be the first In the history OF
inventions where bodies far heavier
than the air itself have been sustained
in the air for more than a few seconds
by purely mechanical means.
"In my previous trials success has
only beer reached after initial failures
which alone have taught me the way to
1t. and know no reason why prospect
i've trials should be an exception.
'It ia possible, rather than probable,
that II may be otherwise now. but.
judging them from the light OF past
experience. 1t is to be regretted that
the enforced publicity which has been
given to these initial experiments.
which are essentially experiments and
nothing else. may lead to quite un-
founded expectations.
at is the practice of all scientific
men. indeed of all prudent men. not to
make public the results of their work
till these results are certain. This con-
sideration, and not any desire to with
hold from the public. matters in which
the public is interested, has dictated
the policy thus far pursued here. The
fullest publicity consistent with the ma
tional interest (these recent Cxperi-
ments have for their object the devel-
opment of a machine for war purposes)
will be given to this work II 1t reaches
a stage which warrants publication"

A snlendid Institution.

We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Tulane University, published in this issue.
 The advantages offered by Tulane for real college work in letters and in science are unsurpassed in any of our Southern Universities. Tulane is the largest urban University in the South. and has just com pleted the most successful session in its history, with ninety-one instructors and 1884 students. and the prospectsl for the coming year are still more fiattering It has large and well-equipped laboratories and workshops. libraries, twenty fine buildings. and ample grounds. Owing to the reasonable rates in the dormitories. the expenses of a student at Tulane are low. and opportunities are afforded stu dents of limited means to help pay their way through. It is the announced policy of the President that. in the academic de- partments. no boy, if properly prepared for college work. will be turned away from it's doors from inability to nay tui- ton fees. We recommend the University to parents having sons or daughters who are thinking of going to college.

A CARD.

We take pleasure in announcing to the public generally and to our friends partic- ularly, both in the city of Montgomery and the State at large. that we have arranged to leave our interests for the major part of Alabama. in the hands of a gentleman of wide and varied business experience; man of integrity, ability, and hosts of friends: native Alabam- ian. who has shown the good sense to have never left the State of his birth.
 We refer to Mir. A. Coke Smith. Mir. Smith will have change of the Remington Typewriter for the Southern portion of Alabama: and he alone will be in posi- ton to furnish that great writing ma chine. or anything thereto pertaining. There will be maintained at the Mont gomery office, of which MT. Smith is in charge. a full and perfectly complete stock of the newest and latest products of the factory. There will be sold the Remington and it's kindred goods. only; no other typewriter will be sold; the en- tire time. talents and energies of the office force will be given exclusively to the Remington. Persons dealing with MT. Smith can rest assured that he will han dle only our latest machines, az such, though he will always have secondhand Remingtons for those who do not wish to invest in a new one Remingtons in first
  for rent, and these will, of course, be kept in perfect condition. There is also a Repairs Department in connection with this office, in charge of a chief repairer of many years experience in his business; and anyone entrusting us with their work tn this line are guaranteed that only Rem ington parts. made at the Remington fac tory, will be used. It is also well to bear In mind that at this office only can Rem- ington parts be obtained; in fine, we in- sist that 1t is best that Remington re- pairers should repair your Remington Typewriters. The Company feels that with the arrangements now in force at Montgomery there will be found absolute ly nothing lacking; and that we have here an office in facilities and ability for handling our important inter- ests, second to none in the United States. We are intensely proud of our large pa- tronage in this city, and 1t has been our aim to make our patronage proud of the results of our efforts to furnish a model, up-to-date Remington office.
 The location is the same as for many years In the past; and Mir Smith will be highly pleased to welcome old friends as we'll as to make new ones.
 Respectfully.
