Judging from the harmony which
prevailed at the Republican primaries
in Union county. early last week,
when delegates to the State conven-
ton were elected, the fractional feel
ing in that county is dying out, and
at the coming tall election there will
be no repetition of the cut-throat
tactics which resulted last fall in the
election of three Democratic assem-
blynien. A Presidential year is a good
time to harmonic differences like
those which have rent the party i'll
Union. Both sides can turn in and
whoop things up for Roosevelt, and
in doing so should carry the entire
Republican ticket to victory. Camden

CONGRATULATIONS.

The fact that the first of May has
passed and everv mechanic in the city
is working and apparently satisfied.
Is a matter Of congratulation for the
citizens of Perth Amboy. With n
season ahead which promises to be
one of the busiest in the history of the
city, thore seems to be no doubt but
that this city's prosperity is going to
forward with leaps and bounds.
Contracts and specifications are
everywhere. There is not a section of
the city but where there nre buildings
going MP and plans are being drawn
for moro. Old structures are giving
way to now vacant lots are develop
ing into thick ly populated sections
and the city is advancing rapidly.
~ might be said TINT never has
there been such activity in the bust
ness section of the city in Smith and
State streets. in the erection of new
buildings, MS this spring. This, to-
gether with the paving Of these
thoroughfares, g work and WORK
means money in circulation and that
means a good year for the merchants
and the welfare of the city generally.
All this is brought about by the
harmony between employer and
mechanic. There is no doubt that
both have rights which the other
must respect and when this is realized
and O settlement of all disputes is
reached without tying up business
and delaying the advancement Of the
city, 1t means that nothing a pre-

The Santa Fe tracks are under water,

PHILADELPHIA, May B. - Caught

Mr.. Goelet's first arrest took place

when n bicycle policeman held him up
and took Mr.. Goelet before the judge.
The New Yorker was fined $40 and
costs.
Mr.. Goelet paid the fine under pro-

exceeded the limit allowed andNNrged
that the policeman should be 6dered
to be more particular. Sunday after
noon Mr.. Goelet was again arrested by
the same policeman.

the judge, Il will make the fine $25

AIN AERIAL VOYAGE
DR.. Greth's Airship Makes a
Successful Trip.
FLIGHT UNDER PERFECT CONTROL
ven ana His Engineer Circlcd
About, stopped and started at
Win-slight Defect Led to
Easy and Safe Descent.

WiAA-SAlEht DEFECT Leu 10
Easy and Safe Descent.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-Dr. Gretf
started from here to make u trip OF
fifty miles to San Jose in his airship,
but after travelling about five miles
some slight disarrangement of the ma
chinery was discovered, and the aerial
voyager landed safely. DR.. Greth was
accompanied by Engineer Frederick
Bell. DR.. Greth was satisfied with the
results of this experimental flight be-
cause he accomplished Il good deal
more than on former occasions and
concluded that he was working in the
right direction.
He assembled with the car attached to
Il rope to prevent doing damage to
houses.
When the rope was cast off Or. Greth
let his machine rise still higher and
then made a circular figure about a
quarter of a mile in circumference.
1t was evident to those below that
he had the machine under control ut
that time, for he circled about, stopped
the engines and started them again
and then started off to the south at a
high speed.
Everything went well until the airship
arrived over Bankers Six Mile house
in the San Bruno road. 1t was then
going rapidly toward San Jose, but
something went wrong with the ma
chinery, causing the alrship to stop.
After the inventor and the engineer
had tried to repair the break the fans
were started and the ship descended.
TO all appearance the fans were con
trolling the ship, though 1t was conced-
ed that they were not powerful enough
to meet the resistance of the strong
wind.
Witnesses of the descent said that
the airshlp came down gradually and
touched the ground gently, allowing
the men In the car to step out. Moth
ing was injured either in the car or
about the gas bag. DR.. Greth said
that what broke could not be repaired
without certain tools, and he deemed
it e~xpedient to descend.
The engine is an automobile machine
of fifty horsepower and is set up In a
new frame much larger and stronger
than the first gaspipe frame which
carried DR.. Greth up with the former
engine. 1t was demonstrated that
while the fans which raise and lower
the airship and have considerable to do
with the steering were not large
enough, yet they did very well under
the circumstances.
The fans and the rudder are to be
enlarged In order that the ship may
be more dirigible. This was the first
time that the engines were started
after being stopped while in the air.
The test was made for the reason that,
should 1t become necessary to let the
gas out Of the balloon, the engines
must be stopped lest the gasoline spark
cause the reservoir to explode.
The trip was highly successful. Ev-
erything went well, and all parts of the
machinery were In good working order.
The machine could be directed at will
and made several complete turns before
descending. The sudden giving away
of a small valve caused the descent at
the Six Mile house.

The Way Native Mexicnns Eat the
Honey Bearing Ant.
The honey bearing ant of southern
Mexico and Colorado works at night,
storing the honey in curious fashion.
After foraging expedition on the
plants Of the Schrug oak the worker
ant on it's return forces the honey by
muscular contraction from its mouth
into the crop and abdomen Of the
"honey bearer" This crop is walled
by ten muscular plates and is capable
Of great expansion. When filed the
abdomen becomes extraordinarily dis
tended, the bearer" resembling a sac
Of amber colored honey, with the head
and thorax Ike small appendages on
one side.
The "bearers" being rendered almost
helpless by this change of condition,
are carefully attended by the other
ants and kept in suitable compart-
ments, where, clinging to the roof,
they hang down like amber globes.
