WHEN AN AIRSHIP
IS NOT AN AIRSHIp

/ some a heinous offense against the
technical vocabulary to call an aero
plant an airship. A certain class of the
oretical practitioners of aeronautics
have arbitrarily decreed that an air.
ship is only that kind of skyship which
is sustained in the air ocean by means
of gas bag and can be steered and
propelled by mechanical means. This
description, of course, will be recog-
nized as a dirigible balloon.
Stick to the Word.
On the other hand there is a class
of sticklers who believe that a machine
capable of flying in the air without a
gas bag should be called an aero
drome. They can find no legitimate
chronological reason for the mouthfuI
of sound, but fanatically stick to it
because the late Prof. Langley used
the word, freshly minted, in his book
describing his experiments ayG his
machine.
And that is where the joke comes
in. Originally Prof. Langley called his
machine an aeroplane. But in those
barbaric days when the aerial era had
not dawned aeroplane looked exactly
like aerodromes to the jibing news
paper writer's of the day and the fort
innate few who were able to penetrate
to the spot where Prof Langley was
carrying on his work saw very little,
heard great deal that was utterly
lncomprehensible, and came away
with tumble of terms in their minds
which finally bore fruit in the word
"aerodrome" as an appeHation for the

Hit and Run Came.

The Green Park grounds were the
scene of a hit and run game yester-
day afternoon when the Keylor Grand
club hung it on the Green Park toss
ers by the score of IL to 10. Despite
the fact that the game was not a
close contest, it was interesting as
one team will forge ahead only to
drop behind again. 1t was Keylor

MORE Light ON
BROWNS Love
FIaee, His His Affinity,
Brings Lots Of
Trouble

The San Luis Obispo Tribune OF
Dec. has the following to say in
regard to Embert NJ. Brown, well
known in Honolulu:
Gould YOU grow fond OF q nice
young blonde
II you loved sweet brunette?"
Ask that question of Embert NJ.
Brown of Santa Cruz. He is worried
about the situation just now and is
on his way home to the seaside town
&c face the law and an irate wife at
the same time.
At an early hour yesterday morn
ing Deputy Sheriff Charles J. Taylor
and Policeman Hunsaker took Brown
and a seventeen year old affinity OF
his from south-bound train. They
were armed with tickets to San
Diego and II was n fight such as so
often occurs when aifrfities become
q fascination.
The Sheriff's Office was notified
by the Santa Cruz officers to keep a
lookout for Embert NJ Brown and
'hV souHS SUI, Huihcu "iss oru
Flagg, winsome young dame who
had left her home, one OF the we'll
known families of Santa Cruz.
The officers boarded the train here
and soon located the hayward pair
and escorted them down town to the
county jail, where they waited ad-
vices being sent to their homes.
Brown has wife and several
children in Santa Cruz He is q
real estate agent and notary public
of that place, and up to this time
has always borne good reputation.
An affinity came between him and
his duly welded wife. and he
thought II would be better to fee
with her. In Santa Cruz 1t would
he better Were the other dear
, charmer away" So Brown and Miss
Flagg slipped quietly out OF the sea-
side town with tickets for San
Diego. They did not go far. Their
journey came to an end at San Luis
Obispo, and they got free lodging in
the county Jail.
| Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Traf-
ton OF Santa Cruz county arrived
and took Brown and Miss Flagg
back to Santa Cruz on the next
train.
| Mr.. Flagg accompanied Sheriff
TraftOn to this city and when he
esDied Brown at the depot he made
an effort then and there to take out
his wrath upon the man who had
brought sadness to his home. Sher-
IN Trafton interfered and the party
boarded the train for the homeward
journey. II Is a pity that Mr.. Flags
did not have the chance to tar
Browns hide good and plenty.
The girl is a pretty young miss Of
only seventeen summers. She is now
sorry that she took the step she did
and when she gets home she may b,
forgiven by her irate parents. A,
for Brown the advices from SAINTS
Cruz are to the effect that he vii
get all the law will allow him. Ant
he deserves 1t.

known that he'll let authorship alone;
no more within his private den he'll
wrestle with his fountain pen, pro-
ducing novels by the mile, debating
dramas all the while. Down on the
farm he'll plant his vine and figtree
and raise spotted swine, and tall red
calves with crooked legs, and mules
and hens and hard boiled eggs. And

your pen. and write a book" he'll
smite the tempter on the head, and
plant him by the cattleshed No more
for him the printed page, the readers
praise, or critics rage; serene and
calm among his cows, and far from
all the Lofty Brows, a sturdy yeoman,
he will toll, and paralyze the fertile
soil. And though il gives us all a pain

OF six as at present. He recently made
a count OF people who entered his Of
flee between the hours of six and
nine and estimated that 1000 people
do so daily. Many Of these people are
transients who go to the office in
hopes the windows may be open, for
they know that in many of the east
ern cities the offices are kept open
until o'clock or 9 o'clock.
Now Spokane is not the only place
where the public welfare would be
served by having the postoffice kept
open during the early hours Of the
evening. In Pendleton too it would
be a great accommodation to many
to have the office open until. say S
o'clock. Transient people and work.
ingmen would be the chief gamers.
The late closing feature would be es-
peciany valuable in this city for the
reason that it frequently occurs that
the local windows close before the
evening mail is distributed.
Now of course to keep the office
open during the evening would re-
quire an addition to the force. Ger
tainly postal employees could not be
expected to work ell day and also
during the evening. But additional
help is needed at the local office any
way. A night man is urgently need
ed. There should be a man to work
out the mail that arrives during the
night and also Ia attend to sending
out local mail. At this time the night
is wretched. We simply have
no night service despite the fact that
much of our mail arrives during the
night. Now why could not an additi-
onal man be employed to attend the
delivery window after o'clock in the
evening and to distribute the mail
hat comes and goes during the night.
How about it Mr.. Brown?

THE RACING AERopnANE.

The sporting aeroplanes OF the fu-
ture will be divided into two classes
slow cruisers Of moderate horse-p pow
er and large supporting surface and
high-speed racers of small surface and
large horsepower II was mentioned
earlier in this discussion that the area
of the surface necessary for flight
varies inversely as the square OF the
speed. Nature has recognized this
law in the evolution of the bird the
lslow-flying birds having wings of con-
siderable width in proportion to their
length and the fast-flying birds such
has the swift and the albatross, possess
ing long. narrow. bladelike wings. The
racing aeroplane, therefore. will have
great length of entering edge. but the
planes will be narrow. Possibly they
will be arranged to reduce their sur
face by reefing as the speed increases.
Il was shown above that II the Wright
machine at its present weight could
be driven 100 miles per hour the area
of its planes might be reduced from
500 TO so square feet. The weight of
the superfluous 420 square feet, with
its framing, could be put into a more
powerful motor. The racing machine
will be very light. long of plane, and
lean in construction. The Wright ma
chine Of 80 horsepower weighs 500
pounds and ordinarily can be driven
at about 40 miles an hour. The Cur
tis machine of so horsepower weighs
500 pounds and has made a speed of
As miles an hour. al Santos-Dumont

of 55 miles an hour with little 80

the mile-a-minute mark will be reach
ed and considerably exceeded, though
not so quickly as the public believes.
For as a bar to high speed there stands
the immutable law that body, in

resistance, which increases approx

THE PLOT Is READY.

The plot for the overthrow of the d.
rect primary law is now fully laid.
At a meeting of old line politicians
held in Portland the assembly scheme
was formally adopted and it will now
be submitted to the politicians in other
parts of the state.
The assembly scheme, when stripp-
ed of all its false coloring, is sim
ply this. To take the nominating
power out of the hands of the people
and restore it to the politicians with
a little clique in Portland as the cen
ter of power and authority.
The politicians or at least the ma
chine element, have grown sick and
tired Of the direct primary. 1t is all
wrong from their standpoint. 1t does
not provide for leadership or in other
words for bossism. Under the di-
rect primary system an office hold
er is responsible TO his constituents
only. SO he generally does what he
thinks is right. He does not ask the
boss. Just think Of it. He no longer
obeys instructions" from the old die
tator or his henchmen. He does not
jump when the party or factional whip
l. a
The boss can no longer deliver the
goods" and hence he cannot command
the campaign funds and the prestige
that goes with the sack. Corporations
and other interests wanting special ia
vors no longer go to the bosses to
"fix things" They must take their
chences with officeholders who are
free to do their duty. During the past
few years these Interests" have not
Jared so well as formerly in Oregon.
They too want the direct primary scut-
tied and likewise the initiative and
referendum. It is easy to understand
why.
But do the people want to go back
to the old political system? Do the
people want to vacate the throne and
again place the reins of power in the
hands Of shysters Of the stripe that
once dominated affairs in oregon?
Do they want to have a set Of office
holders who will be mere puppets for
other men who will be behind the
scene and will pull the strings when
they see fit? DO the people Of Ore
gon want to have the legislature COM
posed Of men who viii be under obli-
cations to do things when told by the !
bosses even though the action may
involve betrayal Of their constitu-
ents interests and personal ruin to the
members. IL they are found out? In
other words, do we want a govern
ment by the people Of Oregon and for
the benefit Of the people Of Oregon |
o. government by political crooks |
who will run things with view, not
to serving the people, but to furthering |
the interest Of the machine" and to |
filling the pockets Of few men with |
ill-gotten gold?
We shall see.
