ward impetus required to lift them clear OF the
ground. The Wrights are said to have heavier
machine than their rivals, and they lay short
railway track to diminish the friction with the
earth and reinforce their propellers with con-
trivance which exerts pull In the right direc-
tion. This consists of set Of weights which,
on being released, draw downward on cords, and
thus impart motion TO the craft. The device
works beautifully when everything Is ready, but
it is apparently necessary to lay the track IN q
new place for second start. How success
fully the disadvantage can be overcome remains
TO be seen Possibly it will yet prove feasible
to dispense with special apparatus for launch

Fort Myer was intended to be merely tenn

considerable period between the first OF May
and the end of August, its exact beginning dura-
ton and ending varying much according to the
temperature and other conditions of weather.
oysters are not nearly as good to eat as at other
times, and, indeed. might well be regarded as
not good at all. The reason is that they are
then engaged in developing and discharging
eggs for the propagation of their race, and the
milky or dusky matter which appears in them
is simply mass of microscopic eggs, averaging
half million tc each oyster. From an economic
as we'll as a gastronomic point of view, there
fore. 1t is highly desirable to have this "close
season" observed in order that opportunity may
be given for repenishment of the oyster beds

Leaders who hold the view that only the en-
rolled voters are to be consulted in selecting
candidate for Governor should take into con-
sideration the terms Of the call to the Repubh-
can State Convention. BY it all Republican
electors and 'an other electors without regard
"to past political affiliations who believe in the
principles Of the Republican party" are invited
to send delegates to the convention. The prl-
mary law makes such broad participation in
party affairs impossible in this city, but the
spirit of the call should be followed and an at
tempt should be made to reflect the sentiments
Of all electors, without regard to previous afili-
ations who believe in the principles Of the Re
publican party" In no other way IS success

negotiations with the Pere Marquette

For this purpose City Engineer Nc
Cormick was called in by the mayor

explained by Mccormick that only pre-.
liminary agreements had been made
with these roads and that they had not
furnished profiles and maps as a basis
for going ahead. Owing to the neces'
sity for making a map of Fairvicw
1t had been necessary TO put the as
sistant engineer, who was looking af.
ter these grade crossing matters, on
the map.
