Mature Fakir" Controversy Between
Stamford Author and President.


A good many people had never heard
of the Rev. DR.. William j. Long of
Stamford, Conn.,, before President
Roosevelt in a recent magazine article
called in question some statements the
former made in his books about ami
mails. Now the authors name is a
household word. his works are among
the books in special demand at the
libraries. and Incidentally the contro-
versy the presidents criticisms pro
voked has added considerably to the

Faithful Woman Mail Carrier.


The best rural mail carrier in the,
country is "a woman twenty years old.
Her name is Miss Eta Nelson, and she
and her father are rural mail carriers

received from the Pittsfeld postoffice.
Her route is twenty miles of typical
country road. and she intrepidly faces
storms in summer and snow and biz
yards in winter. Since she was ap-

never missed a trip when it could be
made. She stands at the head of the

Orville and Wilbur Wright are in the
neighborhood of forty and are sons
of a bishop in the United Brethren
church. They were in the bicycle busi-
ness at the time the bicycle was a
craze and have been experimenting
with flying machines since about 1900
They early determined upon the aero
plane as giving the best chance of sue
cessful flight and in 1903 succeeded in
making machine which would fly
Since then their efforts have been
given to improving their machine and
overcoming practical difficulties. The
first flight lasted only fifty-nine sec
onds, but during it the aeroplane adj
vanced a distance of $50 feet against Il
twenty mile an hour wind. The next
year the brothers accomplished for the
first time the feat of describing a cir
Gle. BY the latter part of 1904 they
had succeeded in flying as long dis
tances as four miles at a time. Most
of the experiments were made over
meadows near their home at Dayton.
They kept their aerial operations as
much in the dark, SO to speak, as posi-
BILE in order to protect their discoveries
and inventions from appropriation by
others and often made their flights at
night. In the latter part of 1905
flight of twenty miles was made at
rate of nearly forty miles an hour
The accompanying picture from a
photograph reproduced in the Scientific
American gives a general idea of the
Wright aeroplane. Heretofore the
brothers have been very secretive
about their invention and have avoid
ed publicity as much as possible. Now
that their work has been crowned with
success and the stamp of approval has
been placed upon it by powerful Eu-
ropean government and with their
financial future assured by the action
this government has taken there is rea-
son to expect from the courageous and
persistent inventors greater freedom
of utterance in respect to their ideas
and anticipations.
