AERIAL NAVIGATION

The successful navigation of an
air ship for a distance of 500 hun
dred miles over the states of Him
OILS, Indiana and Ohio, marks a dis
tlnctive advance In the science OF
aerial navigation. II has been but
a few years since the Scientific
American, an acknowledged author
ity, doubted the practicability OF aer-
ial navigation In the sense of being
able to direct the movements of the
car; yet the feat is an accomplished
fact. II Is in the same category
with the electric light, the tele-
phone, the photograph, and other
distinct advances in science and In
yentlon which went through the
stages of disbelief, then doubt, and
were finally accepted as commercial
and human necessities. Aerial nav
igation will also become a necessity
with the perfection of machines and
the increasing safety which must
evidently follow.
No period in the history Of civil
ization has been fraught with such
great advances in all branches of hui
man knowledge as the past fifty
years, and those who have lived to
see these great strides in science
mechanics and discovery, are indeed
living in strenuous times.
They are living In the greatest per-
iod of the world hlstory--a time
when the human race bows to science
as the great moving force of all ma
ture.

The lack of business methods In
Mayor Scallon's administration and
the injury that may follow is clear
ly set forth in a letter from a Chi
cago banking house which is a heavy
investor In bonds. The bank says
that our city hall bonds were sold
TO a broker who is peddling them
about Chicago, and failing to find a
customer, will be unable to take
them. The bank also states that
such a proceeding is injurious to the
credit of city. II the sale falls
through the city may now find II
difficult to place the bonds. In the
meantime the bank is looking into
the resources and condition OF the
city and with this object in view
asked for the special editions of the
Press. These have been forwarded
unlimited resources, favorable hid
may be made for the bonds II the
broker fails to dispose of them,
Occur d'Alene securities are good and
II properly advertised would be pur-
chased by people who have money
to invest, The advertising of the
sewer bonds Is open to the same
criticism. Had they been properly
advertised. the people would not
now be compelled to pay eight per
cent interest. All such sales ought
to be advertised In banking and fin
aneial journals to reach the proper
persons instead of being confined to
an obscure country sheet,
