MAY FLY BY SOUND
DR.. OWEN HAS NEW THEORY FOR
AERIAL NAVIGATION.
First Airship Smashed by Vibrations,
He Is Busy Constructing An
other-Says Principle Was
Used by the Ancients.

Detroit.-Dr. Orville w. owen is ex-
periencing the troubled life of an in
ventor Years ago he got an idea.
Months ago he was on the point of
realizing ii. To-day he is mournfully
watching the repeated deferment Of
the hour when the idea will be en-
bodied in practical form.
Owen is the man who believes he
can make a noise like a top and fly
to the uttermost parts of the world
Flying is nothing but applied harmony
according to his theory, and if he can
produce the correct tones he can go
anywhere and do most anything.
The vibratory theory is his pet
hobby just now He knows all the old
school book stories about the effect
of vibrations, and a lot more that have
been printed in books that few peo-
pie read. The phenomenon that a
bridge can be thrown down by sound
ing the proper note on violin is mere
kindergarten talk to Owen He tells
you that Joshua threw down the walls
Of Jericho that way, when he ordered

lowed by mighty shout,
Also the doctor is sure that this
same vibratory theory was put to prac-
teal use by the ancients. The pyr
amids were built in this way he says,
and the sphinx was moved into its
present position by the same agency.
'The Moabite stone tells OF an
ariel which the Israelites possessed. .
says the doctor, and which gave them
victories until the Assyrians took it
away from them. The ariel was a fly
ing machine, worked by vibrations,
and it could move any weight"
This ancient knowledge Of the
earths inhabitants has been redls-
covered, DR.. owen believes, and he is
the re-discoyerer. He has invented
and patented a flying machine, con
trolled by vibratory action, produced
by means of revolving tops on the
siren principle, the tops being placed

Occident and Orient.

All the great national questions dur
ing the next hundred years will CEN
ter in the Orient, according to Bishop
Brent of Manila. He says: 1.-The
home land will not suffer impoverish-
ment by giving lavishly to her choicest
sons. They are the very men who
ought to rejoice to go Just because they
are strong. and strengths unaltera-
BILE commission Is to go to the
weak. The east Is calling some of
rou, and you must respond as be-
comes men who, knowing that they
can live this life but once, are bent
on high adventure. You must go
with that beautiful combination
Of sympathy and tenderness and
strength which will study to under
stand the Oriental character. Tho
old theory was that there Is a gulf
separating east and west. The new
and the true is that all that, sepa-
rates is Incidental, and all that
unites is fundamental. We must
search for the essential and build
upon It out OF the abundance Of our
wealth."

Special Correspondence
oNpoN, June 1O.--Adeline Geuee
l. is back in London and Lonaohers
are happy. Tonight she Is due TO APP
near in a revival Of "Coppelin,' her
fayorite classical ballet, in whlch she
is said TO be at her best. II Is Is

produced In London and in conjunction
with the reappearance of Genee you
NAV be sure That the Empire VIII be n
house of wild enthusiasm on the OPEN
ing night. No one who saw her last
night at the Leicester Square theater
prior to her departure for the United
States VIII ever forget II.
Genee tells me that she thinks the
American newspaper men are won
ders hut that some OF them are trou-
bled with unbridled imagination.
"fmagine my surprise" Genee con
tln,led. "when l learned yesterday that
my name Is not Geuee but Christensen
or something else. That story. under
stand, came from the United States
and has been adopted by the London
papers. VIII YOU please deny II for

The little dancer tells me that Klaw
G. Erlanger have great plans for her.
Mr. Klaw wanted to present her In
Paris for a couple of days during the
week Just past but the plan fell
through. When she returns to the
United States she will be seen in New
York In "Coppelia,' and will then tour
the larger cities in The Soul Kiss. >"
Although Genee told me some of the
plans for the year she swore me to
secrecy. She Is full of her American
experience and can hardly wait to get
back. She has been telling the Lon
don newspaper men that the English
theatergoers cannot compare with the
Americans in enthusiasm. She has
assimilated quite u little American
slang and has been shocking her Lon
don friends by a free demonstration of
her efficiency.
The English would like to believe
that there is less appreciation of dane
ing in the United States than there Is
here but Genee does not agree with
them.
