As between our souls and God, should
we obey, or disobey, those in authority,

case?
Should we obey God rather than man

wrongp

command Of the king to the contrary, was

troyed does it generally stop the rebellion,

Verse l8-Should a truly good man
ever be concerned as to what posterity
will say Of him, or personally cause any
monument to be erected to his memory
Barring exceptions, is it generally a
disgrace, or otherwise, for a man to die
having no children9
What is generally the end Of self-cen-

Verses l9-32-Ahimaaz was priest;

A report from Consul General Frank
H Mason, at Paris, states that it Is
now recognized in aeronautic circles in
Europe that while the experiments IN
aeroplanes and other types OF flying
machines have been generally disap-
pointing. a definite and advanced stage
of progress has been reached at Paris
in the construction Of airships or dir
igtble balloons, driven by a rotary pro-
peller and steered by a rudder similar
in form TO that of a ship at sea- Mr.
Mason continues:
During the last two months two of
these constructions, the Patrie and the
Vile de Paris, have been seen repeated
" flying over the city at various alti-
tudes from 1000 to 5000 feet, maneuver-
ing with easy facility up. across or
down the wind. turning gracefully to
right or left and returning. after a

point of departure.
The Patrie Is the property OF the
French government and belongs to the
equipment OF the aerOnauticai corps of

built by Mrs. Z. SuTCOuf in COllaDOra-
