HELD up BY KITE
With 165 Pound Human Weight Fly
ing Machine Is steady.

Halifax, n. B., Dec. 30.-Professor Al
exander Graham Bel, who has been ez-
perimenting for some time at his lao-~
oratoFy at BERN Bhreagh, Cape Breeons
with kites of the tetrahedral form Ok
construction. succeeded last Wednesday
in getting his latest designed kite, which
he has named the Frost King TO ia1t
man weighing 165 pounds to a height
of 80 feet and supporting him there Tor
considerable length Of time. The
Frost King" itself weighs 81 pounds
and carried besides the man load COM
prising flying lines, dangling ropes ana
a rope ladder, all Weighing 81 pounds.
The man clung to the flying line as ne
was lifted gracefully into the air. The
total weight OF the kite is 81 pounds OF
the flying lines, ropes ana ladder O
pounds and the man 165 pounds, max
ing total weight of 2SS pounds.
The kite was completed some time ago
and Professor Bell has been waiting for
supporting breeze in which to carry
out the final stage of the experiment..
He had almost given up in despair ana
was preparing to leave for washington
when the desired wind came up and ne
was enabled to complete his expert
ment The kite while in the air was
under perfect control.
Professor Bells experiments were
along lines of constructing a kite OF
lighter weight than a man and yet
which would support man in the air.
He has thus succeeded and considers
the result a distinct triumph in aerial
uaVigat tioE.

EVANS A VICE ADMIRAL.
Plan Under Way to Give 'sFIghting
Bob a Rank Next to Dewey.

That's the way the admiraIs of the
United States viii rank. according to
reports current at the Brooklyn navy
yard today. For, congress willing
Fighting Bo1S'' is to be the first vice
admiral in the American navy.
Besides giving Evans an exclusive
flag, it is proposed to give him COM
mand of the finest lot of battleships
that ever gathered under Old Glory.
He probably will get the new battle
ship Louisiana as flagship in March.
The highest position in the navy is
that of admiral which is held by
George Dewey, who gets $4,000 per
year, shore duty or sea duty. A rear
admiral gets $500 at sea and S6,375
on land. It is expected that the new
berth viii carry $1O,0 600 pay. A corps
of officers will decide on a special uni
form for the vice admiral, with less
gold braid than the admiral and more
than the rear admiral.

Philadelphia. Dec 30.-Having con-
cluded that when a girl reaches the
age of 35 she has either outgrown her
giddiness or can put satan down ana

to thrust these older women out into the

The waiting list is so large at the

of the state is variously estimated, but
servative statement of the aggregate.
The records of the association, less
than two years old, is of product of
1000 900 pounds, and only a few per-

though in the matter of the legislation
the committee represented the total
number.
For some years the bees have been
suffering from the ravages Of some in
sdious disease. not only in Pennsylva-
mia, but in other states in which the
industry receives attention. The nature
of the malady has not yet been dis
covered, but it is malignant and fatal.
In other states legislation was enacted
to fight the disease, and the Pennsyl-
vania association was formed with the
view of inaugurating a similar defen-
slve movement in this state. 1t had
proved helpful elsewhere, and those
concerned in the industry believed that
good results would follow here.
With this object in view bill was
society and put into the hands of a
prominent representative in the legis-
lature during the last session, and a
committee appointed to urge its pas
sage. The measure was referred first
to the committee on Agriculture of the
house, properly, but inasmuch as it
carried small appropriation 1t was

was chairman, though the agricultural
committee strongly recommended its

for a hearing to explain the object of

What in the h do you fellows want,

committee reminded him that II he did
not want to talk about the expenditure
of the states money for the citizens
he should not have accepted the chair
manship of the state committee.
They thereupon decided that regard
less of politics they would not officially

The Frenzied Financiers of the

chances in en- effort to destroy the
evidences of their responsibility for
that disaster. In other words, they
have stolen or had secreted the notes
which represented their obligations to
the bank for the state funds taken out
for their individual uses.
Notes which the bank should hold
for large loans to politicians and 9TH
ers are reported missing Their face
value is probably Several hundred
thousand dollars. The total of this
loss is one of the secrets which Re-
ceiver Cunningham is keeping to HIM
