 Thus the Czar puts the official taboo on aviation The new science has never found favor in Russia and various oppressive measures regarding it have been passed. Several recent incidents prompted the official edict to- day.
 M. Guyot. a we'll known aeroplanist. was debarred by the government from making experimental flights in his Bleriot machine near St. Petersburg He announced that he would fly to Moscow but before he could transport his aeroplane to that city the gover- nor of Moscow had issued an order regarding aeroplaning in his district
