FLIGHT is PRACTICAL, SAYS
PRESIDENT OF ROYAL SOCIETY

The following high opinion on prog
ress in aeronautics comes from Lord
Ravleieh. president of the Royal So
ciefv of Great Britain, delivered in the
review of the year in his annual ad-
dress:
II cannot abstain from including In
the achievements of the year the re-
narkable successes in mechanical flight
attained by the brothers Wright, al
though the interest is rather social and
nracticaI than purely scientific.
.iFor many years. in fact, ever since
T became acquainted with the work Of
penaud and Wenham. l have leaned to
the opinion that flight was pos9 Die as
a feat. This question is now settled.
and the tendency may perhaps be to
lump too quickly to the conclusion that
what NAV be done as feat will soon
be possible for the purposes Of daily
life.
"But there is very large gap to be
bridged over, and the argument urged
nv Professor Newcomb and based on
The principle of dynamic similarity,
that the difficulties must increase with
the scale of the machines, goes far TO
nreclude the idea that regular ocean
service will be conducted by flying ma
chimes rather than by ships. For spec
cial purposes. such as exploration, we
may expect to see flying machines IN
use before many years have passed.

HEAVIER THAN AIR
CRAFT ARE AERONEFS
Aeroplanes Promise to Remain Most
Practical of the Three Types Be-
cause They Combine Light
ness and Strength

All heavier-than-a ships are called
aeronefs, according to the international
aeronautical congress. These are di-
vided into three types: Aeroplanes,
which depend wholly upon plane sur
faces, combined with some propelling
means; helicopters or lifting wheels,
with some form of propeller on a YER
teal shaft which forces it up into the
air; and the orthopter or device with
tapping wings, initiating the bird.
In practice the relative value of these
types may be stated as follows:
The aeroplane is the form employed
by all gliding machines. They depend
on launching almost wholly on a rapid
horizontal movement along the ground
until a sufficient pressure is obtained
under the planes to lift the ship This
type represents lightness and strength,
due to the lack of moving parts and to
the consequent unity of its structure
The helicopter does not depend upon
gliding in order to launch into space.
It can rise vertically, but its great
defect is its inability to move through
the air horizontally. Structurally it is
heavier than the aeroplane type, and
has the further disadvantage that it
has no sustaining surface if the lifting
wheels cease to revolVe.
The orthopter is the most unsatis-
factory form, so far as all experiments
have shown, as the large widespread
and the oscillations necessary require
unusual strength in the connecting
points, and this means weight. 1t is
probable that the greatest and most
satisfactory developments viii be along
the lines of the aeroplane type, as II
APPARENTLY presents greater commercial
features than the others.

WEATHER BUREAU is
GAMER BY AVIATION
PREPARES SPECIAL BLANKS
FOR RECORDS
German Authority Says Meteorology
Will Profit Greatly by Free Air OBJ
servations, Making 1t More
Certain Science

Aeronauts and weather service ex-
perts are alike coming to the conclusion
that ballooning will prove of great sci
entific value in improving the weather
forecasts. Almost as much as can be
done on the ground has been accom-
plished, but this may be supplemented
UNNECESSARILY by observations taken in
aerial trips.
The weather bureau of the United
States recognizes this fact, and has
prepared special forms to record OBJ
servations in the air. These were used
by H. H. Clayton and Charles J. Gid
den in an ascent in which they crossed
Hoosac mountain July 49, and in a
journey from Springfield to Bridge
water, Mass, in September. The
weather bureau is urging all balloon
lists to use the blanks, realizing that in
this way much data of value may be
collected in different parts of the coun-
try.
The Berlin weather bureau is con-
Quoting experiments which the See
warte believes are proving of great
practical good. Concerning these DIR,
K. Balmer of Essen, an eminent Ger
man authority, said recently, according
10 translation mace by Pror. A. u.
McAdie:
"The data used by the Seewarte in
preparing the weather map are from
stations having nearly the same eleva-
tions. They give us a picture of mete-
geological conditions at the time, as
they existed at the bottom of the sea
of air. Long experience enables us IN
many cases to determine what the en-
suing weather will be. But so long as
we do not know the laws underlying
the variations of the individual meteor
illogical factors, so long will forecasting
continue an uncertain science; and
these laws can never be determined
from observations made at the surface
of the earth, be they ever so painstak-
ing. We must make observations at
greater elevations, but not on high
mountains, for such are not wholly
free from the influence of the ground
We must rise into the free air and OBJ
serve there, and this is the problem of
aerology,"

Aerial Notes

q INCE Roy Knabenshue invented the

The municipal sanitary commissions
report shows most encouraging phase
of the Improvement III public health
since the adoption of the law prohibit
ing the use of horses inside the city
limit. The fact that there is no longer
dust in the streets or in the air Is of
great benefit to mankind. Granolithic
pavements, flushed with antiseptic wa
ter has gone a long way toward abol-
ishing the deadly microbes which were
formerly accused of spreading disease.
The discovery that all those who use
aerial machines as means of daily
transportation are immune from pull
monary troubles has broken down the
last straw of objection to that method
of travel.
A curious thing happened a few
nights ago on board the Albatross,
Capt. Harmon Ryus' big twenty-pas-
senger tourabout. Captain Ryus had
taken a party of friends to a matinee
in San Francisco. On their return they
stopped for dinner at the Santa Bar
bara Light cafe. 1t was 8 o'clock be-
fore they started for the short flight
to Los Angeles. While at dinner Cap
tain Ryus was notified by wireless
'phone of a severe gale in the high al
titude. and he decided to come south
on a lower plane at a slower rate. East
Of Ventura the Albatross encountered
a heavy shower of rain and consider

tected, did not realize the severity of
the storm until Captain Ryus turned

aoaton CANNON Rules Wider

The rules for competing for the Bos-
ton Herald cup, offered to the aviator
who starts from point at least 100
miles from Boston and lands near Bos-
ton Common, have been broadened for
1909. During the present year the point
of landing was made within five miles
of the common, but only in one case
did the contestant pass within the ra-
dius set. That was at night. and he
did not dare to land until he had drift
ed to the South Shore.
The new rule reduces the distance of
the starting point from 100 to forty
miles, but the five-mile landing radius
remains as at present. The change Will
permit competition by members of
number of new clubs organized near
Boston.

AERIALIST TO

KNABENSHUE WILL EXPERT
MENT AT CHUTES
Given Point ProjectiIes May
Be Thrown from Moving
Craft

Following out a carefully devised
plan for a series of important aerial
experiments, Roy Knabenshue will

ton at Chutes park today, with a view
to ascertaining how closely to a given
point projectiles may be dropped from
different heights. The Chutes park dia-
mond will be marked off and the air.
ship will circle and re-circle overhead,
dropping imitation bombs made of bags
stuffed with paper and weighted suf-
ficiently to make the equivalent of a
real bomb.
These will be aimed within a narrow
radius The inside of the baseball dia-
mond will. in fact, be bullseye from
an aerial standpoint. While the test
will be spectacular enough from the
spectators viewpoint, especially in
watching the success with which the
ground is hit accurately from different
heights, Knabenshue is more interested
in the results from a consideration of
their possible future value for military
and other uses. He will keep accurate
records of time, altitude and effect upon
the balance of the ship.
The test today is the second of a
series, and among those planned in
future are several over the ocean.
Knabenshue is undertaking these solely
on his own responsibility, with the as
sistance only of Dick Ferris and j. b.
Lehigh, but after they are finished he
says he will send complete report of
any features of value to the war de-
partment. Experiments of this nature,
he says, could not be carried on as eX-
tensively at any other point in the
United States as at Los Angeles, owing
to climatic conditions.
Criticises Associated Press
The Associated Press sent out a re-
port that Knabenshue's night test
Thursday was a failure because he
could be seen and heard from the
street. He does not regard it as any
thing else but great success.
1--WE went very low because I did not
regard great height as necessary" he
said; "but we could as easily have
assembled to height where we could
not have been located. AS a matter OF
fact, it is more dangerous to sail close
to the big buildings as we did than to
go along, say, 600 feet higher, where
we could as we'll locate streets and
buildings.
"Aeronauts do not regard the trip as
a failure from their standpoint. 1 re-
