Explains His style of Kite.


Preceding the exhibition of kite-fy-
ing Professor Bell explained briefly
what he is doing at Cape Breton,
where he has his laboratory. He said
that the experiments there Were on Il
much larger scale, but that the idea
would be apparent from an eXamina-
tiOn Of the tetrahedral kites used in
the local demonstrations. The man.
ner of construction of the kites from
the first light sticks or aluminium
tubes. to the finishedkite was shown
by Professor Bell. The aluminium
tubes or sticks are eight inches long.
Three are first used to form triangle,
and then three more are jOinted to the
ends of the first triangle and formed
together at Il common apex, making
a figure bounded by four triangles.
How lie Saves in Weight.
Other cells of the same size and
weight then are taken until sixteen
form the tetrahedgGl kite. Weight is
saved in putting the cells together by
using one stick only where two cells
are fitted together, so that while one
triangle requires three rods two tri-
angles can be made from five rods.
When covered with silk. as the kites
are. the two triangleS have twice the
resistance power of one. but one-Sixth
less weight than two ordinary tri-
angles.
When the Problem VIII BE Solved.
The same principle of saving weight
is continued further in forming the
tetrahedT1l, the idea being that by
making the kites large enough. and
continuing to save weight. a sustain
ing power will he possible so that a
motor and man can be carried. 1t
has been asserted that this has been
proven at the Cape Breton laboratory,
and the trials here have given to the
public the first general understanding
of how it is done. Professor Bell said
the motor would eventually take the
place of kite string. and that when
this had been accomplished aerial nav
igation is established.

 The bond election matter was taken up immediately after Mayor Bennett called the council to order. The various resolutions relating to the election wero read and adopted. Briefly the resolutions provide that the election shall be held Monday.

NOTED SINGER IN PHOENIX
A World Famous Tenor Is Guest at
 Hotel Adams.

A man in touch with the musical art ists of the world, and courted by the kings of nobility and finance, is Mec- kenzie Gordon, a guest at the Hosel Adams, who has come to Phoenix to spend two or three months for the ben eft of his health. He is not very sick only tired and in need of a rest and the bracing effects of a wholesome eli mate such as Phoenix offers. For the benefit of the mild air he sought Phoe- nix and now that he has seen the city he is pleased with it: pleased with the geniality of Arizonians and the busi- ness activity of the Salt River metroD- oils.
 MT. Gordon is not a man to talk Of his own achievements. 'I am here to be quiet" he said, probably with the idea. that that would satisfy the news gatherer. but he is too well known in the musical world to have his arrival in this city passed over with but a pass iuG remark.
 When asked if he would sing public ly while in Phoenix, MT. Gordon replied that he would not.
 But. he added. If there should be some poor fellow who is dying, and can cheer his last few hours on this earth with a song. then I will sing. 9th wise no. I simply want to keep in prac- tice and then in two or three months l will return to my work.
 There is a touch of romance in MT. Gordan's life that it may not be amiss to tell. MT. Gordon does not relate the story himself. but his prominence in the musical world has caused his TO- mantle career to become public. He is a Scotchman by nativity and his fath- CT wished him to be a sailor bold. with home upon the rolling sea. He sent the boy to a naval training school. The restraint of the schOolrOom being tcO great. young Gordon concluded to g to sea on his own account. He boarded a schooner bound for the East Indies, and hiding himself in the hold for sev- eral days, made his appearance on deck when il was tCO late to ship him back, and thus he began his naval career.
 For five years he followed the life of d. sailor. Sickness finally compelled him to abandon the sea, and at Savannah. Ga he bade the ocean farewell and once more tried his luck upon dry land. It was at this time that he turned his at tention to music and by dint of much

Mayor Bennett explained that it wou'd be owned by TO one, cEy more than any public thoroughfare is, but pCnGing the time the Salt River valley rays for the Tcnto dam and assumes possession of the reservoir, the road, as an access sorry of the reservoir, would tacitly be in the control of the federal gov ernment, the government paying all expenses incidental to keeping the road in proper repair.
 Mayor Bennett then stated that it had been suggested by the government cf- ficers that a committee consisting Of representatives from the beard of trade. board of supervisors and com mon council. some time prior to the coming election, make D. trip to the site of the dam and investigate the work being dOne, &nI the corditions surrounding what is yet to be accom- phshed. This committee could make a public report and thus give to the voters the essential facts relating to the proposed wOrE. The government a agrees to pay the expenses of the trip
 Tho ordinance requiring the number ing Of houses according to the official system as mapped out by the city en- Gineer was read and adopted. The ord finance makes it compulsory to have the proper numbers on houses within the city limits and if residents do not comply with the ordinance after bling given sixty days notice they are liable to arrest and a fine rot to exceed 8 for each offense.
 Clerk Foste'' informed the council that a member of the school board had call ed upon him during the day and re- cuested that he ask the council what would he charged fer water to be used in irrigating the grounds of the Eaet End. West End. Central and Linville schoolhouses. As the water wzs for public purposes, the council agreed that there should be no charge con rected with it's use.
 The clerk was authorized to adver- tise for bids for the city printing, bids to be received until 6 o'clock of Mon day evening, April 4.
 The last matter to come before the council was the resolution introduced hy Councilman Sander changing the rarne of Roosevelt street to Cleveland.
 Tn offering the resolution Sander said: There is no reason in ignoring Cievs- land and giving honor to RooEeve.t when he is trying to tag this territory on the skirts of New Mexico
 T second the motion" said Council man Dunlap.
 "As I do not wish to have Clevelanl entirely forgotten I am in favor of the resolution" inte~pCsed Messinger.
 The ayes and noes on the resolution were then called and the four council men voted in the affirmative, while Mayor Bennett came out with a soli- tary mo-"

 His musical carer has been remark ably successful. He has visited many parts of the globe, sung before King Edward VII. of England, Queen Will helmina of Holland. the Duke of Con- naught and many other persons of titled prominence. He has sung and been entertined at the homes of John D. Rockefeller, John Jacob AstoT, An drew Carnegie. Chaunccy Nj. DeCew.

 AIr. Gordon has a dramatic tenor voice of the barytone quality. In speaking of music, he Iaments the opin- ion that a desirable musical training cannot be obtained without going to Europe Why so many of our girls go to Paris and Italy to train I cannot realize. It is not necessary. We have able masters in the United States. probably some very able ones right here in the west. True Paris and Italy are grand musical schools. and b ing in those countries is an advantage for the mastering of the French and Ital- ian languages, but for all that, Italy nor Paris are necessary. And our girls who go there become surrounded with the bohemian atmosphere, enter a bn- hemian life. and it stays with them all ways and it is bad
