ELECTRIC SKY ROAD

Among the possibilities Of the future for aerial navigation, according to Hud' son Maxim, the great inventor, will be the wireles electric sky road or zones of electric energy, leading from center to center of population and industry, along which flying machines will pass to and fro, drawing their power from an electric system stretched along the earth, thus obvisting the uecessity of each individual flying maching deyel- oping it's own energy. Each machine will carry an electric meter, and the consumer will pay for the energy used just as he pays for the electric current which lights his residence.--From Oct. Popular Mechanics.

IF THE CORPORATIONS CONTROL THE
 NEWSPAPERS

II 1t Is true as announced by wire yesterday that the RocKefellers have bought the Times, of Seattle. and the Guggenhelms the Post-Intelllgencer then calamity has tefallen. Whatever may be said of the Seattle merchant and his disposition tomske out of Alaska all the money he can, it Is true that the Post-Intelligencer at least, of the Seattle newspapers, has been constant and active friend of Alaska. If these big interests have gone into the news paper business il is not for any love of the business or for a desire to make money, or in any other way to engage In the business for it's own sake, but solely for furtherIng their other eDter- prises, shaping public opinion in their favor or silencing It by depriving it of a vehicle of expression. With regard to Alaska, this will be in the nature of a calamity. Known to be owned by the corporations the newspapers will lack public confidence and their utter ances on any subject will be discounted, but the injury worked through deny ing the country voice or by misrep' reseutatior would be incalculable.
