NAVIGATION IN AIR
At Last Man Has Proved That He
Equals the Birds

ODAY man knows how TO fly. That
is the great news which the years
190S-9 have brought to humanity
and which has excited in all the world
an enthusiasm unparalleled in history.
it is true that the dream to emulate
the bird and soar beyond the clouds
is as old as man. The story of the
nero. who on artificial wings tried to
ny to the sun and so aroused the jeal-
ousy of the gods that he was punished
with mortal fall, appears in all the
legends of the peoples. Nevertheless
IL is not so many years since that any
one who talked seriously of a flying
machine was regarded as foolish, and
people smiled pityingly and shook their
headS when he passed Man remained
Tor ages the master on the surface
OF the earth, but the empire of the
air escaped from him.
Although 1t is about 120 years since
Tor the first time man adventured into
the ocean of air, soaring higher than
the condor or the eag gle, it is only now
that aerial navigation has reached the
point where it can be seriously con-
sidered as a means of locomotion.
IL is confidently predicted by sci
entinc men who are keeping in close
touch with aerial matters, that in a
comparatively short time the aeroplane
VIII cease to be a dangerous curiosity
OF sport and that, having been given
more stability by delicate automatic
processes 1T will begin to transform
the earth, and, paradoxical as the
statement may seem, it will be upon
the sea that it will first triumph; that
before four or five years have passed
a regular aerial service will be or
ganized, first across the English chan
mel, then across the Mediterranean and
that later immense artificial birds car
rying passengers will swoop over the
curvature of the ocean.
The theory Of the aeropIane may be
illustrated by comparison with the
flight of the bird. One will imagine
generally that the bird when it flies
constantly moves its wings vertically.
That is what he is doing in fact when
he raises himself straight over the
earth. but it is not the way he flies
generally. The instantaneous photo
graphs show us that the bird, when
he is flying horizontally in a calm air.
keeps his wings extended and from
time to time gives a horizontal thrust
from the back tip of his wings, like
the stroke of an oar, which pushes him
forward. In such a flight the bird is
just like monoplane, the two wings
form an inclined plane and the strokes
of the oar. or the tips of the wings
take the place of the turning of the
screw.

Columbus. was fttingly celebrated in
San Francisco by the Knights of Co
lumbus. the association from whose eff
forts the law making the day legal

cities on the other side of the bay, on
an elaborate scale.
Crowds Of people were drawn to the
shores of Lake Merritt by the spec

and the Nina, the vessels on which
Columbus and his brave men sailed
from Spain so long ago. AS the boats
started from the northern end of the
lake several dugout canoes manned by
members OF the order of Red Men, ap-
propriately painted and garbed as In
dians, pushed out from the shore to
welcome them.
Columbus was personated by Frank
Carlo, who when he stepped ashore
planted his sword in the ground and
formally took possession of the newly
discovered land in the names of their
majesties Ferdinand and Isabella, while
the crews of the vessels fell PROSTATE

and around them crowded the Indians
in awestricken curiosity, just as the
natives of San Salvador did when they
first viewed the white man.
Exemplification of the landing at San
Salvador was followed by appropriate
literary exercises. The stand, which
was occupied by the city councilmen
of Oakland. Alameda and Berkeley and
other distinguished citizens as guests
of the day, was beautifully decorated.
The speaker, Congressman Joseph r.
Knowland, dwelt on the meaning of
Discovery day as a holiday. calling at
tention 10 the great march of progress
that had been made since Columbus
first set foot on the western hemi-
sphere and upon the great development
Of the continent he discovered.
Among the younger children in all
the schools the subject Of the discov-
cry of America by Christopher Colum-
bus is always a favorite subject for
composition, as it is the first event
upon which they are instructed in
American history, and the observance
Of the day as legal holiday, which
will be appropriately celebrated each
year, can not fail to have a highly bene-
fetal effect upon history and compo-
sition lessons in the future, giving to
them a new meaning and at the same
time fostering the spirit of patriotism
and love of country. the two strongest
sentiments of the real American junior.

Should not the ~inspiration which

The parade will Immediately start up

executive committee.
Wednesday morning the officers of

seeing ride. At Union square the
children's grand chorus of 5000 voices
will ill the air with melody, surely the
sweetest and most joyous feature of
the weeks celebration.
Thursday morning the parade starts
from Front and Market streets. In
the afternoon there will be the naval
parade, a band concert in Union square.
and the evening will be distinguished
by the same brilliant illuminations
throughout the city and in the harbor,
music, fireworks and tight rope walk
ing as on preceding evenings, and the
masquerade ball at the auditorium.
Friday morning is marked by the
automobile parade, which starts from
Lombard street and Van Ness avenue.
Saturday evening the historical and
carnival parade will start at Market
and Hyde streets, and Portoia will
make balloon ascension. The tight
rope walkers will perform as on other
nights, and the illuminations of the
warships and the city will shine with
the same brilliancy that has character
lied the preceding nights of the cele-
bration.

city for five consecutive days acting as
host to thousands and thousands of
visitors from all over the world-vis-
itors drawn here partly by the thor
ough advertising of the Portola cele-
bration. but more particularly because
the celebration gives them an oppor-
tunity to visit California, the land of
romance, the land of opportunity, the
land about which still hangs the golden
glamour of the days of 49 and which
sends its irresistible appeal and mes
sage of promise to other states and
other countries.
And what will San Francisco show
her visitors besides the features of the
great historical pageant, the dragons,
the cowboys, the vaqueros. the miners,
the pioneers; besides the floats contain
ing waterfalls and rivers and fallen
forests: besides the Examinations and
fireworks, and midnight tightrope
walking, the innumerable games and
contests, receptions and balls and Don

festival the greatest sight of all will be
San Francisco, herself-San Francisco.
which three years ago lay in dust and
ashes, and for which the heart of the
whole world was beating with SYM
pathy, and for which now the heart
beats of the whole world quicken with
wonder and admiration.
San Francisco Will show to her
visitors a great number of fine hotels
which have sprung UP from the burned
city in the last few months, and will
afford accommodation to all who come
according to their means and tastes. 1t
will show to the visiting public a
larger number of strictly first class
stores than any other city in America
can boast of, not excepting even New
York, while the new business district
of San Francisco is so like New York
that the visiting Gothamite will fancy
himself among his own canyons of
brick and mortar and wonder if he
has really strayed away from home.
And on no face among the hurrying
crowds that throng the streets of the
New San Francisco will the visitor see
a trace of worry or care; instead will
there be found the unmistakable
stamp of eager hope, of confident pros
perity of assured success. In a word
San Francisco makes good her message

CURED between Bolivia and the Argentine
republic and that all diplomatic relations
have been severed. The recall Of the
Argentine minister. Senior Forseca, who
has been stationed here throughout the
disorGerly events leading up to the present
crisis was followed almost simultaneously
by the recall Of the Bolivian minister sta
toned at RueEos Ayres. on the departure
OF the Bolivian minister from Argentine
he has been ordered to turn over the
archives TO the American. Chilean or
Brazilian legation.
The rupture OF diplomatic relations was
announced after extended official con-
ferenccs held throughout yesterday, at
which efforts we're made to meet the ag-
gressive attitude assumed by Argentina
and at the same time allay the growing
popular agitation in Bolivia. The spirit OF
the people was shown in monster petitions
asking to he enrolled in tine army, the
petitioners asserting unconditional support
of the government cause in case of an
armed conflict. The feeling that hos
tilities may occur is shown by the con-
tinued departure of many Argentine and
Bolivian residents.
The cause Of A%rgentina's breaking off Of
diplomatic relations. as stated here, is a
circular issued by President Monies to the
provincial governors of Bolivia, referring
in sighting and offensive terms to
Argentina's decision against Bolivia in the
pending Peru-Bollvia boundary dispute.
Argentina also takes offense at President
Monies orders to the municipality Of La
Paz to suspend The centenary fetes which
have been going on. in view of Argentina's
adverse action. which is regarded as a
national misfortune. These two steps by
President Monies are construed by Ar
gentiua as incompatible with a dignified
continuance OF friendly diplomatic rela-
lions. The recall of their minister there

lowed by the recall Of the Bolivian min
lister at Buenos Ayres.
