and others that aerial navigation is no
longer experimental brings particular
interest in the prophecy written by
John T. Trowbridge, more than 40
years ago in the popular poem of
Darius Green and His Flying Ma

Happily Mr. Trowbridge has lived to
see the serious fulfillment of what he
described in the farce of lighter vein.
II wrote the Darius Green poem

Crawford and asking him for the note
and had sent Dan after her. She ex-
