Study Of Aerial Navigation.

That the navigation of the air has
ceased to be an experiment and has
assumed serious form, says the Co
logne Gazette, was demonstrated by
the fact that the Technical high
school of Charlottenburg applied to
the ministry for the establishment OF
a chair of aerial navigation. The re.
quest cannot be granted this year, how.
ever, because all appropriations up to
April, 1910, have been disposed of
Later the chair will undoubtedly be es
tablished. The rector of the school
Prof. Borman, said that he had al
ready received the application of al
expert as volunteer instructor.

at Broadway and Chippewa street. A
few minutes later snow pillow
swished past and piled four feet of
snow on him, burying him from crown

drowsily and began to snore.
Many persons walked over him, un-
conscious of the fact that they We're

mufled his shores and he dreamed

When some particularly heavy tread
crunched above his couch he dreamed
that summer zephyr had kissed his
brow.
Above him as he slumbered was the

red noses. Men were uttering i'm

chitectural style familiar in such ediices 1t is,
however, rendered distinctive in appearance by
reason OF the fact that it is draped from steps

The church, which is large one with commo-
dious gallery, can seat upward Of 1000 persons.
This Is a valuable asset for presidential church.
When President Roosevelt came to Washington
the congregation of which he became a member,
and which had previously worshiped In small
chapel had to build large edifce because of the
responsibilities entailed upon a presidential
church, and the new edihce, although 1t seats
close to 500 people, has seldom been large enough
to accommodate the throngs of tourists who con-

presidents pastor is the Rev. Ulysses Grant

and was born in the closing year of the civil war.
He was educated in New England and at Hillsdale
college. Michigan, and also pursued advanced
Iowa, California and Ithaca. N. Y, and came to
his present charge in 1891, in which year also he
married Florence, the daughter of Capt Ions

Policeman Ward walked up and
down. 1t was fine chance for a hero
to rescue snowbound man. There
were all sorts of possibilities for
medal achievements in this blizzard.
Officer Ward thought there was
something strange about the snow at
a particular drift on the corner. 1t
didn't feel like snow ought to feel
The policeman passed the drift sew
eral times. Then he walked around it
and, in stepping where the snow was
lightest, his foot struck something
hard, like a shinbone.
He reached into the drift, and at the
bottom it felt warm, like the bed feels
when the alarm clock rings. He felt
some more and caught hold of foot
It felt like chance to win medal.

OGDEN is a MOST
IMPORTANT POINT
More Freight Shipped Into and Out City Any Other
Place in the Intermountain Country-Fifty
Thousand Carloads Yearly

'Why a 100000 freight depot?"
The above is a question asked by a
traveller at the Union depot recently,
who while waiting for his train TO
continue his overland trip was walk,
Ing around the depot ground and had
noticed the excavation for the new Har.
riman lines freight depot. near the
corner of Twenty-fourth street The
answer given the questioner was to
the effect that O2den'S freight busi.
ness Is greater than that OF any city
between the Missouri river and the
Pacific coast
The assertion is a bold one. but
nevertheless true. More than flfty
thousand carloads of freight are i'm
ported and exported each year. These
figures do not include the amount of
freight that is handled at the freight
depots, transferred from one line to
another. but are the actual receipts
and shipments of freight In Ogden,
The next question asked is, 'Where
Is all this amount of freight handled
and by whom" This is answered by
the statement that Ogden factories.
jobbers and business houses handle
this amount and even more In the
course of their business each year.
The largest receiver and shipper In
the city is, without doubt. the Anal
gamated Sugar company for Its Og-
den factory, Its receipts are about
1900 carloads and its shipments ay-
erage 10000 carloads per year. which.
with the exception OF about 100 car
loads of molasses and so carloads of
pulp. are carloads of sugar The av-
orage yearly receipts include more
than $500 cars OF beets. about $500
cars of coke and coal. thousand cars
of limerick and about fifty carloads
OF miscellaneous supplies. such as
beet seed. bags. sulphuric acid, sal
soda, tallow. filter cloth. etc.
