AfROPLANF FLIES
LIKE GIANT BIRD
Henri Farman Gives Demon
stratiOn With His Heavier
Than-Air Machine.
AT SPEED OF EXPRESS TRAIN
Photographers Knocked Flat by Breeze
From Pr0pelIers When Farman
Tests Motor.

New York, Aug. 2.-Rising from the
ground like a giant bird and darling
through the air at express train
speed, Henri Farman's aeroplane, the
heavier-than-air flying machine he
brought here from France to demon
strate his ability to fly, made its in
itial flight in this country late yester-
day afternoon at Brighton Beach. 1t
rose from an especially prepared run
way at the will of the inventor and,
after attaining a height of twenty-five
feet, flew straight ahead on a direct
line, finally alighting with exquisite
grace when the noted air pilot dimin-
ished the motive power.
Farman is Rugged.
During the brief space Of time in
which the %aeroplane was skimming
over the center field of the race
track, the few hundred spectators,
most of whom were friends of the in
ventor or rival aviators, watched the
fight with breathless interest. The
instant the trim looking machine land
ed cheers rent the ~air-cheers far
more enthusiastic and vociferOus han
those of a race track crowd. Farman
was surrounded and literally Rugged
by the jubilant aeronautS. Members
of the Aero Club of America, under
whose auspices Farman will conduct
his public flights at Brighton Beach,
wanted to carry the successful in
ventor off the field on their shoulders.
Photographers ToppIed Over.
Newspaper photographers crowded
around the aernoaut to get pictures
of the machine as it was about to
make it's first flight in America, and it
was at this moment that Farman de-
cided TO make another test of the mo-
tor before flying. He instructed his
French mechanics in their native
tongue to ho,d fast to the a%eropane'
while he turned on the power. In
stantly the propeller began TO revolve
at the rate of 1,400 revolutions to the
minute and a breeze equal to a small
cyclone was created. The photogra-
piers were knocked fiat and plastered
10 lHe GROUND uHul the power was
turned off. so great was the violence
of the breeze that several willow trees
were bent double. Farman laughingly
said he guessed the machinery was
working all right.
Shoots Into the Air Like Magic.
Then, when the crowd had been
waved back, he gave the order, Let
CO." and away sped the aeroplane
over the plank roadway. 1t ran swift
ly along on it's wheel for $40 yards
and then Farman turned a lever
which sent it into the air like magic,
and away it flew. The propeller made
a whirring noise as it turned 500
times to the minute. Only $50 yards
were covered in the air in this flight,
but a few minutes later Farman made
another try and travelled 760 yards in
the air. He could have gone much
further he said, but feared striking a
pile of lumber.

Natural History of Museum.
DR.. r. e. Dahlgren Of the American
museum of natural history, New
York, has just returned from the Ba-
hama islands. bringing with him near
ly 200 cases of coral. It Is the pur-
pose of DR.. Fl. c. Bumpus, director
Of the museum, to cut out a section
OF. the first floor OF the Museum build
Ing and reproduce below the level of
the floor q representation of the bot
tom Of the sea, showing coral reefs
in all stages of development. The
section of the floor to cut u will be
6xSO feet.
When the reproduction Of the reef
and sea bottom have been completed
the flooring will be replaced by n
r%ectan~'e Of heavy plate glass. The
work so far has been quite expensive.
and the actual installation of the reef
will be a task of a very delicate and
tedious character. requiring probably
six mont IS for completion. 1t will be
begun at once under the direction of

Fire-fighting apparatus is of no

Starvation Threatens Refugees.
Cranbrook, B. c., Aug. 4. - Fire is
not the only danger which the people
of the burning area have 10 face,
Starvation has been added to the ter
rors. When the people left their
homes for the protection camps little
or no provisions were taken, and now
there are some six thousand on the
prairies with nothing to eat. The may
or of Fernie has sent out a call for as
s~istance, which is being readily re.
sponded 10.
A special meeting of the council OF
Cranbrook was held yesterday after
noon, and within an hour a car was
being loaded with provisions, clothing
and tents. Other cars will follow as
rapidly as they car be loaded.
Word has been received from Van
couver, Calgary. Medicine Hat and
Lethbridge that cars are also being
loaded there, and several of them will
be at the end of the steel by morn
ing. Calgary is sending two cars,
Medicine Hat two and Lethbridge one,
Rough estimates place the financial
loss at $4,000, 900 and loss of life at
over a hundred.

to Dance With Rival, Man
Tries Murder.

Would-be Murderer Escapes and Goes
Into Hiding in Swamp
Posse After Him.

La Crosse, Wis. Aug. 4. Because
his sweetheart, Arabelle Miller, a
gone to a dance with his rival, Will
liam Heider, John Newburg waylald
the two at a bridge located over the
La Crosse river, shot both, probably
fatally wounded the girl and seriously
injured young Heider.
Newburg, who was formerly employ
ed at the home of the Miller girl, had
become infatuated with her, and 1t is
understood had made several offers
Of marriage. William Heider, another
young farmer in the vicinity, was
Newburg's rival for the hand of the
young woman, and both had extended
invitations to her to attend a country
dance given at West Salem, a small
town north of here. She accepted the
invitation of Heider.
Jumps Into Buggy.
Newburg attended the dance and
after dancing with the girl engaged
Heider in conversation After this he
left the hall. He hired a livery rig,
and driving TO the DrldSe, located at
a lonely spot along the country road,
tied his horse crosswise on the
bridge and laid in wait for the unsus-
pecting pair. AS their rig neared the
structure he sprang into the buggy
and fired five shots, four of which
struck the girl and n the man. He
made an unsuccessful attempt to drag
the girl from the buggy with the pur-
pose of throwing her into the stream
below. Heider whipped up the horse
and in this way escaped.
A party - soon organized and a
search started for Newburg, but up to
a late hour no traces OF him have
been found. His rig was found hitch
ed to the bridge, and it is evident that
he is in hiding in the swamps sur
rounding the scene of the attempt.
