Mrs. Estella Burns.

Companion of Job A. Burns near Grand
River, died December 2, 1904, as re-
suit of a surgical operation performed
Tuesday, Dec. 8. The people of Grand
River we're greatly shocked when it be-
came known that she had so suddenly
died.
Estella Lovett was born near Clear
field, in Taylor county, Oct. 20, 1877, and
grew to womanhood in that county
where she had a large circle of friends.
June 30th, 1901 she was united in mar
riage to j. A. Burns. This union was
blest with two children, one dying in
infancy, the other still living. This
married life of three years was replete
with happiness.
Mr.. Burns did all that could be done
for the recovery of his splendid wife's
health .ssaMedical skill was employed,
although little hope was given by the
doctorsI for the operation and none
without it.
The remains were brought to Clear
field for interment. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. Bollinger
in the Methodist church. The sermon
was preached from the text John 14:3,
"And if go and prepare place for you,
will come again and receive you unto
myself that where am there ye may be
ALSO"
Mr.. Burns feels very grateful for all
the kindness shown during his affliction.

scientific member Of the Aero club is
working out a formula for the aver

How many aeroplanes do you think
will really compete?"
Lots he exclaimed. "You sec
there is little money risk. An aero
plane does not cost much. Then, too.
it can be built rapidly. can give
the order to-day and have one like
this built In a week.
I examined the aeroplane. M,
Archdeacon got into it to be photo
graphed. At first glance you imagine
that it is intended to travel length
wise, so that he seems to be lying
across it, himself to ride sideways.
But he is not.
Curious as it may seem, the aero-
plane advances broadwise. AS he lies
on his stomach, the aeronauts head
faces the wind. You see two rudders,
one fore, the other aft. The purpose
of the after rudder, which stands
vertically is for the horizontal di-
rection of the acceptance. The for
ward rudder, which lies horizontally,
! is for vertical steering in general, and
in particular for the landing man
euver.
you see, we start from the TOP Of
the dune explained M. Archdeacon.
tLet go!' cry-and they throw mo
off. Then the aeroplane goes to-
bogganing down the air against the
wind, which holds it up. Have you
ing in the air? Like it the aeroplane
slides down the air in a series Of
shoot the chutes' movements, long
downward sweeps and quick upward
turns, then another long downward
sweep and a slightly shorter upward
f11ro,
I am so near the ground that I must
land I make this vertical maneuver
of the forward rudder." He gave it q
pull. It causes a quick momentary
| lifting Of the whole system, breaks the
shock of the landing-and there you
are"' 49,. '.1.-.

thoroly familiar with the aerop1a9es
and the conditions Of their flight,
