SKATES 5000 YEARS OLD.
Figure Skating Among the Ancient
Norwegian Heroes.

From the London Globe.
The English chronicler has recorded
that the youth Of London IN the twelfth
century understood the art OF flying over
the ice like birds in the air. but the origin
Of skating is far more ancient. An Ice
landic saga relates how the Norwegian
hero Frithjof not only traced verses upon
the polished mirror, but also he cut the
dear name OF IngebOrd
Skates have been discovered near Span
dau. in Germany, which those competent
10 express an opinion attribute 10 q Pc
riod OF 5000 years ago. These skates
were made from bones Of horses, figured
and perforated 10 attach 10 the sandal
Similar skates have been found at Moor
fields, in Finsbury, and ike discoveries
have been made in Berlin in the bed Of
the Spree.
These and similar discoveries, we learn,
enable the authorities to conclude that the
European ice area in prehistoric times
extended from Great Britain to Finland.
and from Norway TO Hungary.

known that the Fitchburg Christian Sci
ence Church, through its board of d.
rectorS. had requested Charles HuSkins,

For the past two years Huskins has &C.
cupied an expensive suite of offices in the
central part of the city. and has built up
quite practice as Christian Science
healer among some of the most fashion
able members of the local church. Dur
ing his residence In Fitchburg Huskins

way connected with the Christian Science
movement and has no credentials to show
that he is qualified to act as healer.
Huskins says that he does not pretend
to be more than student of Christian
Science. but he thinks that he knows more
about 1T than some Of his teachers. He
further states that he is not to blame be-
cause people came to him for help. and
says that IL the truth was to be known

action of the directors In asking him to
leave town. He says that he has not yet
made up his mind just what he will do.

CHANCE TO SEE AN AIRSH|p
DUPLICATE OF FAMOUS BIER.
lot MACHINE AT KANN'S.
Exact Reproduction Of Wonderful
Bird-Like Machine That Cross
ed English Channel.

The firm Of s. kann, Sons & Co. is still
showing the Bleriot monoplane 1t is an
exact reproduction Of the one and only
mechanical bird that ever flew across the
English channel. one Of only two such
machines in the United States. 1t will be
on exhibition here only six days more.
A machine Of the same type, exactly
like the one shown here, arose into the
air on the coast of France just at dawn.
July % last Forty-three minutes later
1t landed on the shore of England, thirty
one miles away. Bleriot and his ma
chine made history on that occasion.
The resemblance of the machine to a
bird is marked. It's wings measure
twenty-five feet seven inches from tip
to tip. 1t is guided by rudderS in the
rear, the ascent and descent being regu-
lated by sectional planes back Of the
wings. and It's turning to right or left
guided by a rudder like that used on
water craft. Its speed Is from forty-five
to fifty miles an hour.
Made by Bleriot.
The monoplane on exhibition was made
by Bleriot in his own factory. 1t was
the first one of the type to be brought
into this country. and the only other one
like 1t in America is owned by the son
of a Philadelphia merchant, who pur-
chased 1t for private purposes.
The motor, in the center of the machine
between the wings, is capable of develop
ing twenty-five horsepower and drives
the propeller in the rear at the rate LOO
revolutions a minute, two or three times
the number Of other machines. The motor
is the invention of Anzani. AS B.eriot
started on his flight that was to make
him famous the world over he said to
the motor designer:
You know, it is my skin l am risk
ing
Go ahead" replied Anzani, Il am sure
of my motor"
Outside of the machinery, the mechan-
ical bird is made Of wood and aluminium,
the framework covered with rubberized
silk.
The exhibition is free on the third
floor at 1.-The Busy Corner

LINCOLN. Neh.. November 2l.-The
new issue which William Jennings Bryan
is preparing to spring on the democratic
party is prohibition. and Mr. Bryan will,
within less than one month. make the an
nouncement which will plunge the party
into the most bitter internecne strife
and will bring about complete realign-
ment of the present factions of democ-
racy If the attack on the liquor inter
est is successful and the rank and file Of
the party follow him. Mr.. Bryan expects
to find himself again at the head Of a
party with a living issue. But should the
democrats of the country fail to rally
to his cry against the whisky interest,
Mr.. Bryans future course is problematic.
The announcement of this step will be
made in series OF articles which Mr..
Bryan has already prepared. and which
will soon be published, in which he makes
the most bitter attack on the saloon and
whisky interest that he is capable of
making.
And while these bitterly denunciatory
articles are appearing in print Mr.. Bryan
will be in South America. far from the
sting which will be contained in the an
sWers made by his former friends.
