son. of East Orange, N. l.. the em- 1 einnt inventor. who is spending his vacation on the Pacific coast. declared here today that he was thoroughly convinced that navigation in the air
 would soon become as safe as travel on l land and water. He said that despite l the successes of Wilbur Wright. at 1 Fort Meyer. Va., in the government
 test and that he did not believe the Aerolpane would meet with universal
 favor as it could not be used in cities
 or forest regions where it would be
 cramped for room in making its glide
 into the air. Neither did he think that the dirigible balloon. such as
 Count ZeppeIin's or captain Baldwin's
 airship would be practicable, carryiI 2

 utilizing the power of the air. Mr. Edison stated that the airship of. the
 future would have spiral lift and
 that Henri Farnham, the automobile
 man was working ou plan in his
 Flying Fish, a box kite machine
 which promised the best results of
 any so far. He said that to get the

 machine with its upright shaft and revolving blades can ascend vertaical-
 ly and in places surrounded by hous pr trees, it can ascend at right ang @ and be quickly clear of any obstacle,
 Pitching does not destroy its power to fly. and it can be made to hover over ! given point aud land on the rough,

 large amount of gyroscopc action. a
 measure of natural stability is secur- ed and it is possible to support large load on a small extent of sur
