VALLEY GETS FREE
RURAL DELIVERY
douglas Internationall

Rural free delivery In the sulphur
Springs valley Is now assured
through the assistance OF the Inter
national. The requisite number of
signatures to the petition for the SER
vice have been received. and more
than enough. The petition has been
turned over to Postmaster Caldwell
and win be forwarded to WASH
ton at once. Delegate Cameron prom
ises to aid in expediing the install
lstion of the service and postmaster
that all of the requisites have been
complied with and that no reason
exists for there being no rural mail
delivery.
p. A. Packinpaugh came into the
International yesterday afternoon
and announced that he had obtained
the necessary 100 signatures and five
besides. He added that he could get
more IL they are wanted. This. how
ever is unnecessary. for fifty give an
every other day service and 100 a
daily service. Hence rural free de
livery in very short time is assured
to one route in the valley.
Mr.. Peckinpaugh has obtained all
of the signatures to the petition. He
had a number. but was unable TO
give the necessary time to the work.
This the International made possi-
bic by paying his expenses. and for
the time which it was necessary for
him to give to obtain the remaining
signatures of settlers along the route.
When this support was assured him
Mr.. Peckinpaugh proceeded TO fin
ish the work in very short order
The International desires TO con-
graduate the settlers in the valley
over the final success of the move
ment and TO assure them of its
friendship and best wishes. not only
In this matter. but in all others which
concern their welfare.

AERIAL NAVIGATION REGARDED
IMPOSSIBLE ONLY RECENTLY

The art OF aerial navigation is Of
comparatively recent origin and de
yeloDment. Our forefathers in years
gone by never once questioned the
absurdity and impossibility of human
flight through the air, and so of
course never made any attempt 10 ac-
complish It. Ancient mythology. how
ever, furnishes the story Of Daedalus
who made wings of feathers. cement
ed together with wax. and in com
pany with his son. Icarus. flew away
from the wrath of King .Ainos. An
other tradition tells OF a wooden dove
invented by the Greek mathematf-
clan Archytas. who so constructed
the artificial bird that it could fly
through the air and soar up into the
clouds vith the aid OF its hidden
and enclosed air." Later. in the mid
die ages, we may read OF more plaus-
able tales of gliding flight, disas-
tronsly attempted by Adventures.
who as the semi-traditional records
state, invariably fell to the earth
from enormous heights.
The discovery of the balloon in
1866 by Henry Cavendish, a noted
English chemist. seems TO be the
first precise record of any definite
attempt made to conquer the laws
OF gravity. Since that time more
than a century and a quarter has
elapsed and It was not until the year
1896 that any definite and important
stride toward aeroplaning was made.
In that year. Sir Hiram Maxim. of
England, eliminated a long series Of
experiments by writing an interest
ing essay in which he stated:
MY experiments have certainly
demonstrated that a steam engine
and boiler may be made which will
generate a horse power for every six
pounds OF weight. They also show
that very large aeroplanes. If well
made and placed at a proper angle.
win lift 2ih pounds per square foot
az a velocity not greater than forty
miles per hour. II is possible for a
m3ehine 20 be made SO light, and at
the same time SO powerful that II
will not only be able to lift itself
but also a considerable amount be-
sides. There can be no question but
that flying machine is possible
without the aid of a balloon"
In the same year. Professor Sam
uel Pierpont Langley. an American
scientist. concluded a series of exper-
iments begun in 1887 Langley was
Bisbee daily review., 1910-02-16

constantly az work perfecting a fly
ing machine. and on the 2Sth OF No
vember, 1896. his machine known as
the "Aerodrome." made a flight of a
distance OF three-quarters OF mile.
This is the first flight OF its kind on
official record, and may be of almost
Uncomfortable importance. Professor
Langley had not merely exDounded
a volume OF theories on the possibili-
ties OF air flight. bait had demonstrat-
ed beyond contradiction that air
hight without the. aid of gas. could
be successfully performed.
About year later. Herr Otto LII
ienthal. of Germany. and Mr.. Octave
Chanutte. an American engineer. con
Quoted two very important expert
ments with aerocurves. In the es-
sential the experiments of the two
gentlemen were almost Identical. but
their machines were widely different
in construction. They were describ-
ed by Mr.. Chanute as follows;
The method of carrying on these
place himself within and under the
apparatus. which should be light
enough to be easily carried on the
shoulders. The operator may be sus-
pended by his arms. or sit upon a
seat but he must be able to Olsen
gage himself instantly from the ma
chine. should anything go wrong"
Since the last few years of the
twentieth century the story of the
aeroplane has been familiar to al
most everybody. The first few years
of the present century have been
years Of progress and success Wit
the machines of the air. A few men
have lost their lives in their endeav.
ors to demonstrate to the world the
possibilities of air navigation. and
many have lived to become skiliful IN
the art Of flying. The Wright broth
.ers. Glenn Curtiss. Bleriot. Latham.
Hamilton. Paulhan; all are recogniz-
ed today as successful men. well de
serving of the laurels they have re-
ceived.
The years 1909 and 1910 have wit
messed such great strides in the art
of air navigation that It is difficult
to keep up a scientific knowledge of
the progress being made. The noted
tournament at Rheims in 1909, the
recent aviation meets at Los Angeles
and Phoenix, will all go down in his
tory among the greatest contributions
TO the progress of science.
