Major c. o. Squier. head of the aero

The airship is bound to revolution

the use Of dirigible balloons and aero
planes is inevitable. They vill bring
about sweeping notifications Of strategy
and tactics. They will make conflicts
shorter and sharper and more destruc-
tive.
But their coming will lessen the

THIS THE FULFILLMENT?

S this, then. the fulhllment? Is the
last difficulty overcome? Are aero
planes to be frequent as automo-
biles within this generation, this decade,
this next year? Or is this the end ?
Is the flying machine TO be only a

No Longer Sport;
Now As a Science.

The reference made to new purposes
should be explained. They were the
seal on the change of interest on the
part OF the Wrights from that of sports
men TO that Of inventors and manufuc-
tuTers. Their business establishment
in Dayton is now q place for the con-
struction of aeropIanes- Already, keels
are laid, so 20 speak, for several. They
control patents in every country on the
essentials Of their design and might
charge prices which would restrict the
use Of aeropIaness but they have hxed
upon $500 as the selling price for ma
chimes buiided abroad and $500 for ma
chimes builds I'd here.
With plans still embryonic, they have
found the business profitable beyond all
expectations. BY the tests of this past

The schooner Ada has been given up
for lost 1t is now twenty-eight days
since she left Paauhau and it is hard
ly thought possible that she could have
landed anywhere. The Kukui will
keep an outlook for her during her
present cruise, but will not make any
specially search. The Kukui did not
go out a week ago when such a request
was made, on the ground that the Ada
had been out so long that it was al
most impossible to even guess at where
she might be, Now, week later, il
is natural that there is still less
chance of rlnding her. The local naval
authorities have been subjected to
rather harsh criticism on the part OF
the local waterfront, for not taking
any chance which might result in the
saving of five lives.
