A Real Flying Machine.

A new aerOplanlSt came dOWI
town yesterday bringing with
him the story that he has de-
signed and built machine that
can fly without the aid of q
motor. He is Alexander V. vii.
son, of Bangor, Me-, ard so con-
fident is he of success that he is
prepared to put in a bid to the
Government for naval aeroplane
as soon as the official specifica-
tions are issued.
Mr.. Wilson has built several
machines within the last dozen
years. He has also flown with
them, most of his experiments
having been on the ice in winter
over Eagle Lake, near Bar Har-
Dor, and in summer along the
shore.
On September 1st he received
his patent rights for his aero
plane from the United States
Government.
Mr.. Wilson's latest aeroplane
was built a few months ago, and
in one of his recent flights he
covered seven miles and on an
other occasion rose to a height of
700 feet without the aid of a
motor.
"Of course,' said Mr.. Wilson,
Il can only rise in the air and
remain there without a motor
provided there is sufficient wind.
Therefore, it is best to have a
small motor to rise when the at
mosphere is still, but with any
kind of wind the motor may be
shut off and I can fly as easily
without it against the wind as
with it, and control my machine
perfectly"
One of the chief features of
the Wilson aeroplane is a nova
BILE fulcrum, which is under the
control of the operator and en-
ables him to tilt the moving
wings to any desired angle dur
ing his flight. These movable
wings comprise the real novelty
in the construction of the ma
chine, enabling the operator to
get from the gravity force the
proper surface friction at all
times. There are four of these
wings, two at either end, the
total length of the machine being
SO feet.
The machine was shipped early
this week from Bar Harbor to
this city, and a public test of it's
abilities will be given at the Nor
ris Park race track on election
day in connection with The e
aeronautic exhibition and contest
to be held on that date by the
Aeronautic Society. New York
Times.

ond and third grades, and the young
sters had for their play ground the
space between the depot and Front
street. This place is now a park.
Here they made their play houses of
sticks and sacks; they burrowed in
the ground and covered themselves
over with sheet iron and canvas,
CLEANED from nobody knew where.
This was Santa Fe property and one
day the officials of the road made a
tour of inspection, and there staring
them in the face were the playhouses
of some hundred or more young
Americans, but school was in session
and there was not child in sight.
The next day the section foreman
received curt orders to take his crew
and clean UP the vacant lot in from,
of the depot-adding that it looked
like the city dump-and in truth it
did

In 1901, Liberty building was COM
7letcd. Lafayette building was erect
ed and for the third time in success
sion five girls and one boy formed
the commencement class.
In 1902 only two girls finished the
course and in 1908 the twelfth grade
