Always Right Side Up.

The demonstration was given from
the top of the apartment house where
the designer of the plane lives. When
the plane was thrown off the
roof at any angle it settled right
side up, and in spite Of the fact that
there was a stiff wind blowing at the
time it was remarkably steady. fore
and aft Entire steadiness in this di-
rection could not be secured in the
model, however, as the small plane at
the end Of the tail required to be raised
and lowered to preserve the longitude
nal balance.
The model was secured by about 100
feet of string and was launched about
q dozen times. 1t usually came right
side up before it reached the end of the
string. Flights have been made
from a height with propeller driven
by rubber bands. The power has nat
urally been very little, but some flights
Of over 200 feet have been made
An attempt will be made to secure
permission to launch the model from
the top Of the Washington Monument
to see how the balance acts in long
free flight.

TRIES OUT HIS MODEL
W. J. OWENS FLYING MACHINE
DEMONSTRATES THEORY.
Claims He Has Solved the Problem
of Automatic Balance
in Aviation.

Further experiments and demonstra-
tions have been made by w. ]. Owens,
Washington man, who has built a model
flying machine which, he says. solves the
problem of automatic balance. The model
is fifty-one inches across the main plane
Many fights have been made with it. and
so far as a model can prove claims made
for a man-carrying machine 1t seems TO
be remarkably steady in the air.
The theory of the machine has already
been described in The Star and a demon
stration OF the large model was given to-
day. The machine from the top looks
rather like Bleriot mOnoplane. The
popularity is that 1t Is really biplane.
as is seen from the front. The lower
plane Is set at a dihedral angle, the top
and outer points of the lower plane touch
ing the outer edges OF the upper plane at
an acute angle. In the center Of the
lower plane there is comparatively
small opening allowing the air from UNI
derneath to enter and strike the under
side Of the top plane.

SUMMARY

In the terminating game of the Sus-
quehanna league season of 1910 Dan
vile on Saturday, before the third
largest crowd of the season put final
twist in the tail of the Bloomsbury
kite by defeated the winngrs of the
second series, score of to 2.
1t was indeed most toothsome and
savory bit for the fifteen hundred
(kids included) fans to swallow. After
strenuous week during the seven
games of which the admiXture of bit
ter and sweet had been compounded
with just a shade too much of the first
mentioned ingredient, trouncing to
Bloomsbury was all that was needed
to cause Danville spirits to fracture a
few altitude records.
Danville is open to extra congratu-
lations because of the fact that Karl,
who is touted as Bloomsbury premi-
er twirleI, was in the box for the Col
umbia county seat team; and again
because Ainsworth, who has not been
winning steadily lately, was on the
firing line for the locals. And it will
do to weave it in right here that the
auburn topped twirler was being
warmed felicitated after the game for
his excellent performance.

THE CONTRACT FOR
RETAINING WALL

The contract for building the retain

river bridge was awarded to Peter
Kelley, this city, by the county COM
missioners, Saturday.
Bids were invited for both stone and
concrete. The wall to be built EN-.
braces not only the plot of ground be-

but also strip thirteen feet in

TO SAFEGUARD
PUPILS HEALTH

The subject of employing a medical
inspector was discussed at consider
able lG- 9Th by the school board Mon.
night. The majority of the members
are in favor of medical inspection in
schools and state that the patrons so
far as the latter have expressed them
selves seem to think the measure is a
wise one.
On motion of Mr.. Pursel it was ord
cred that the school board create the
office of medical inspector at a salary
of one hundred dollars per year.
Medical inspection will be conduct
ed as follows: The teachers will look
their pupils carefully over to detect
cases of incipient illness as we'll as

wardness in pupils. Pupils that have
appearance of being i'll will at once
be examined by the medical inspector,
who will decide whether the children
may safely, attend school OF not and
what the requirements are in the case.
The employment of a medical in
spector was postponed until the next
meeting.
