The Wright Brothers Of Dayton,
whose partially successful expert
ments with aeroplanes have been
chronicled from time to time, made a
statement to the Aero Club of this
city, which seems to indicate that the
problem of flying" has been at last
solved says the New York World.
The public has known that Orville
and Wilbur Wright sold the rights of
what appeared to be a practicable air
ship to the French government, but
the practice flights have been held in
private and no full statement of the
success of the machine has been made
until now. The communication says
that in 1905 the Wright aeroplane,
propelled by a gasolene engine and
carrying a man, made a half dozen
successful flights, varying in length
from ten to twenty-five miles. In their
statement the inventors say:
Though America, through the la.
bors of Prof. Langley, Mr.. Chanute
and others, had acquired not less than
ten years ago the recognized leader

which pertains to bird-like flight, 1t

I'm the past three years a total OF
100 flights have been made with our
motor-driven flyers, and a total dis
lance of almost exactly 100 miles COW
cred, an average of mile to each
flight, but until the machine had re-
ceived its final improvements the
fights were mostly short, as is evil
denced by the fact that the flight Of
Oct. 5 was longer than the 105 flights
of the year 1904 together.
The lengths of the flights we're
measured by a Richard thermometer,
Itch was attached to the machine.
The records were found to agree close
ly with the distances measured over
the ground when the flights were
course; but when the flights we're
made in circles a close comparison
was impossible because it was not
practicable to accurately trace the
course over the ground. In the fight
of October 5th total of 297 circuits
of the field was made. The times were
taken with stop-watches.
ON operating the machine it has
been our custom for many years to
alternate in making flights, and such
cars has been observed that neither
of us has suffered any serious injury,
thought at the earlier flights our
ignorance and the inadequacy of the
means of control made the work ex-
ceedingly dangerous"

of such a society.
Previous to the year 1905, we had
experimental at Kittyhawk, N. c.,
with man-carrying gliding machines in
the years 1900, 1901, 1902 and 1908;
and with a man-carrying motor flyer,
which, on the 18th day of December,
1903, sustained itself in the air for
SO seconds advancing against
twenty mile wind for 1852 feet.
Flights to the number of more
than 100 had also been made at Day
ton, Ohio, in 1904, with second mo-
tor flyer. or these fights, a complete
circle made for the first time of three
miles, each made on the 9th of No
vember and the LIST of December, re-
spectively, were the more notable per-
formances.
"The object of the 1905 experiments
was to determine the cause and dis
cover remedies for several obscure
and somewhat rare difficulties which
had been encountered in some of the
1904 flights, and which it was neces-
sary to overcome, before it would be
safe to employ flyers for practical pur-
poses. The experiments were made
in a swampy meadow about eight
miles east of Dayton, Ohio, and con-
of October, when the impossibility of
longer maintaining privacy necessi-
tated their discontiuuance.

And echo there its voice of singing.
When some one does little deed,
And you, perchance, observe the action,
Do not conclude with thoughtless speed

For blessed deeds. like balls of snow
Kept rolling on through lifes rough

Enlarge their fulness as they go.

From the mothers knee. or gilded altar,
Doubt not that God is waiting there
To hear the lips that lisp, or falter;

So far, not the slightest clew has

The girl was student at the

to become an actress and her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Fisher, believe that
she obtained a position with some COM

hoped to gain a clew that will lead to
her discovery.
The friends of Charles Eaton, who
disappeared May 23, are greatly wor-

The police are working on the theory
that he was abducted and that a ran

victim of foul play.
A young man of good habits and no
love entanglements, as far as is known,
no motive for his disappearance can be
found except that he met with injury
or misfortune.
Slvestri, formerly cook at the Bristol
cafe, left his wife some time ago. The
police think it is case of desertion,
but the little wife believes that her
husband has met with some accident.

VIENNA, May 30.-Baron Won Beck,
a high official &C the ministry of agri-
culture, has been charged by the en-
peror to form a new cabinet to sue
ceed the Hohenlohe-Sch Schillingsfuerst
ministry, which resigned May IS owing
to dissatisfaction with the proposals for
the settlement of the common customs
tariff of AuStralia-H Hungary.
Baron Won Beck Is known to be in the
confidence of Archduke Franz Fer

throne.
While the parliamentary revolt
against the decision of the crown favor
ing economic independence is going on
the population remain quiet and are not
interested in the quarrel, mainly be-
cause they recognize that the complete
economic separation of the two coun-
tries is sooner or later inevitable.

because they were ignored and not
asked by the emperor for their consent
to his action in settling the tariff dis
pute with Hungary by his majesty,

ST. PETERSBURG, May 3O.--General
Alikhanoff, the "pacifier" OF Kutais
province, Is the most hated man in the
Caucasus. For several months last fall
the government was completely In the
hands Of the revolutionists, they be-
ing in full possession of the railroad
from the Black sea to Suram tunnel,
which they had blown up in January.
Alikhanoff dispatched q column Of
Cossacks, who crossed mountains, and
with fire and sword laid waste the
fertile Rion valley.
The general announced that at the
first town reached he proposed to make
the peoples grandchildren remember
his name.
His vengeance was horrible. Hun
dreds Of the inhabitants mostly
Georgians and Imerstians, were
slaughtered by the soldiers and others
were executed.
Many Of the men were driven into
the mountains and the women were
given to the Cossacks. Fifty villages
were absolutely wiped out.
The atrocities committed attracted
the attention of the whole country and
were the subject of bitter complaints.
Alikhanoff Is n remarkable charac cter.
His principal reputation Is connected
with the Russians advance In Central
Asia, and his expedition to the Murghab
river in 1SS4-5, known as the "Penjdeb
incident" brought Great Britain and
Russia to the verge of war.

There has been some discussion Of
independent candidates, but the matter
has not gone far enough as yet to
make 1t possible even to approximately
outline a ticket. II is more than likely,
however, that Ben Ward will figure
prominently on It as to a candidate for
county assessor TO succeed himself, and
IT also Is among the probabilities that
VIII A. Hammel will be slated for the
office Of sheriff"
Considerable attention Is also being
given now to state politics and is be-
ginning to attract considerable atten-
tion but as yet interest centers mainly
in the probable candidate for governor.
PheIsn, Call and Cole
A number Of names have been men
toned In that connection, among them
being James ID. Phelan, former mayor
of San Francisco; Joseph II. Call, spe-
cial attorney for the government, and
Nathan Cole. jr
Speaking OF the probabilities in this
direction, John W. Mitchell said yes
terday:
"1n my opinion there Is only one
Democratic candidate for governor, and
that Is James ID. Phelan. Some other
men have been mentioned for the Office,
but ! do not believe that any of them
will stand a show against Phelan.
"At the same time l do not believe
that Phelan will make a fight for the
nomination. 1t will have to be case
Of the office seeking the man. 1 think
he will take the office IL It is offered
him, and once he goes on the ticket l
feel confident he will be elected.
1.-THE logical Republican candidate for
governor, in my opinion, is Henry r.
Gage, and L would not be surprised If
he were nominated"
Mr.. MltchelPs confidence with respect
to Phelan's candidacy does not seem
to be shared fully by Milton X. Young.
Referring to the gubernatorial sltua-
tion, Mr.. Young said:
conso lidation an Issue
"Phelan was highly favored for the
office until a few days ago, but in my
opinion Los Angeles Democrats will be
inclined to resent his refusal to come
to the support of the proposition to in
clude the consolidation proposition in
the governors call for special session
of the legislature. How far that feel
ing will affect his chances for the NOM
ination remains to be seem"
Governor Pardee also Is likely to
suffer for the same reason. The gov
ernor's action in the consolidation mat
ter has reused a storm of protest in this
city, and this feeling is likely to be
carried into the Republican state con-
vention.
