/ flights OF tho Wright brothers, the
American aeroplanists. II had been
generally believed that the ing v,ould
venture aloft on ono OF the trims, but
he did not do so, Before leaving Mad
rid he had promised his wife, Queen
Victoria. and Premier Maura that lie
would not 60 up into the air under any
circumstances. The young monarch
evnced the greatest interest in the
aoropane as an engine Of war, and lie
deplored several times that he could
not make trial flight.
Hart o, Berg. the European business
manager of the Wrigh;s. had an inter-
view with the King last nigh, at which
the arrangements for him to witness the
flights OF to-day were completed. After
the King had told Of his promise not to
fly he laughinsly recalled the Cabinet
crisis produced several years ago when
Premier Maura resigned because the
King had not needed his warning TO
run his automobile slower through the
streets OF Madrid
Continuing. he said he was a soldier
above everything else and that he had
come to Pau to witness the flights so
| that he might be able to discuss the
question of aeroplanes with the Army
Council AT Madrid and confirm the opln.

plane, when developed. was destined to
become of the greatest Importance in
war
lie said 1t was his fervent wish to be
the first sovereign TO fly, but he had
given his solemn promise before he
left home not to be led into making
an attempt.
MIR Berg explained the ndescribable
delight OF gliding over the cushioning
air, but the King sighed and said:
Yes, | know; but | have given my
word"

OF the WrightS, how they became in.
