 <<<<<>>>> :

The interest in the air which was manifested by many citizens yester. day afternoon late was not due to the maneuvers of the aeroplane. It was only box kite six feet long by three by three built and manipulated by Caleb Rice of the corner of if teenth street and avenue B assisted by his cousin Don, some of Judge Rice Early in the afternoon they sent uI a larger one. eight feet in length by four by four, but, owing to a sligh, misarrangemeEt of the cords. it came down on the top of a vacant house near by there and was wrecked. They are now working on a small model of an aeroplane to which they intend tc give the motive of clock works. The first works they selected proved too
 weak, and they are now prospecting for a stronger set. Both boys are pu pills in the Douglas schools, Caleb ir the first year in the high school and Don in the grammar grades, and are lthoughtfully of the opinion that an interest in aeronautics is more profit. fable and pleasurable than idleness on the streets.
