each size of tail OF rudder, each weight Of
propellers and machinery. They met winds
OF various force. sailed against and with
them, and studied the effect OF stray gust
and steady blow upon their machine under
every conceivable condition.
Time and again they discovered that
some supposedly established theory Of their
predecessors must be laid aside as ridicu-
lous. They were, In short. exploring a
region in which every so-called fact had
been only half verified. every conclusion
largely a guess. and each achievement a
basis for erroneous deductions.
Began 10 Study In 1900.
Without attempting TO enter into the
technicalities OF aeroplane building 1t is
not hard to see that the Wrights had cut
out for themselves a lifetime work. They
began serious study in 1896. and expert
ments four years later. Until a very few
years ago, While building and repairing
bicycles. they regarded the aeroplane game
as a diversion and spent in it's pursuit
only what earnings they could afford TO
spend for amusement. 1t was after they
became confident Of success that they re-
tired from their business and decided to
devote their time exclusively to aviation.
In the meantime. after several expert
ments at Dayton, they got down TO real
tests on the sand hills OF eastern North
Carolina as early as the fall OF 1900 The
machine OF that year. although they In
tended to ny In Il, was not up TO expec-
tations and they had to sail II like a kite

with nobody aboard. In the next three
years experiments were repeated annually,
and by 1903 the aeronauts succeeded in re-
naming up in the air a minute at a time.
A power machine, with motor and pro-
pellers, was tested near the close Of 1903.
1t stayed up about a minute and Travelled
nearly 300 feet. This was the first flying
machine that had ever raised itself by its
own power with a man in 1t.
The next two years flights were at Day
ton. Occasionally, through the newspa-
pers, the public heard of them, but EN-
orally In a half-scoffing way. They were
not taken seriously beyond the circles OF
the Wrights' intimRtes. In Dayton, as the
brothers have often recalled good-na-
turedly, most people called them cranks
Yet a real machine was making real as
cents in the town at close intervals, and
so great was the efficiency attained that
before the end Of 1906 the operator OF the
machine was able to travel in curves, rise
or descend almost at will and remain In
the air several minutes consecutively.
Al last. whether anybody else believed
It or not, the Wrights were sure they had
a practicable flying machine. They built
several OF the type In 1906. Tit first pub
lie experiments, however land they were
unofficlaD, were at XIII Devil hill, north
Carolina, last May. Then. for the first
time, the nation seemed 60 take the
Wrlghts seriously.
on May 6 they started out with a shorl
flight. Five days later 1t was estimated
that the machine made a speed Of forty
one miles an hour for a distance OF about
a mile. On May "a. following the Other

what they were before their entrance into
the flying field. The sons of a bishop OF
the United Brethren church, with no in
herited means, they used to have a bicycle
shop. As boys they had been fond OF me-
chanics and they drifted into that line Of
work in the course Of the bicycle craze. In
their shop at Dayton. o., they made a
good living, mostly at repair work. They
built bicycles, TOO, buying the standard
pieces from large factories and putting
them together.
From childhood they had experimental
with kites, but there had been no thought
Of seriously studying aviation until twelve
years ago. Beginning their Investigations
on a small scale. with the persual Of all
the books on the subject as a starter, until
they were familiar with the achievements
Of Lilienthal. M~ouillard. Chanute. Professor
Langley, Sir Hiram Maxim, and the other
would-be air navigators in the aeroplane
division, they finally undertook to make
a flying machine, That was when they
sim made bicycles. Since then they have
built many aeroplanes. each an improve

times a speed OF nearly a mile a minute,
he was hailed far and wide as the fore
most living aeronaut. with a genuine solu-
ton OF the problem that had baffled scien-
lists through the ages.
So much has been written about the
Wrights. silent and modest though they
have been about their studies OF the air,
that il is hard to separate the true from
the fanciful, One fact. however, stands
out in regard to their success-it has been
the result OF careful scientific investiga-
ton, tireless zeal in the face OF sppar-
emily insurmountable difficulties, and not
the caprice OF luck or the outcome OF dare
deviltry. The Wrights are students, not
adventures. Their profession, which be-

Although there have been occasional
more or less successful flights with ma

back 1t is probably fair to say that the

found the officers OF the Aero Club OF

but talk air-flying. They wouldn't dine
out. They wouldn't smoke at the club,
They wouldn't indulge in a sociable drink.
After interviews that seemed f~ruitless for
both sides they went away from New York

vote in one precinct at Lorain.

county elections to decide whether or

came to an end Monday night when
Lorain county went wet by majority
of SO. For three weeks the campaign
has been going on, and on account of
the number of saloons that would be
forced to close If the "wets" were de-
feated, the result was awaited with
interest all over the state.
The wet campaign Jagged at first.
The retail dealers were running 1t at
the time under the authority of the
Personal Liberty league. Dry strength,
suddenly developed, threw the liquor
interests into panic. Nearly every
great brewing concern in the country
is represented in the county These in
terests sent men to size up the situa-
ton. Their report was discouraging.
Then the brewers took hold of the
fight, formed the Lorain County Com
mercial association. and wet hopes
grew brighter.

Claims That Republicans Are Trying

him as his special pulled in and in the
crowd to do him honor were large

AS he emerged from the station a
great quantity of red fire and roman
candles were set off, the crowd all the

BULGARIAN SITUATION.

Quick work by French diplomats in

their mobilization orders and averted
war for the time at least.
The Bulgarian cabinet decided to re-

Turkey as a condition of recognizing
Bulgaria's independence.
Turkey fears Bulgaria's military ac,
tivity will yet bring on war and de-
clines to be responsible for the re,
suit. Great Britain, France and Rus,
STA agreed on a program to be sub
mitted to the other powers as a basis

stands alone. The Servian govern
ment believes war will be avoided
