eide Dr. Obrist was born at San Reno,
Italy, in 1857. He conducted the royal
opera here in 1907 and 1908.
The discovery Of the bodies Of the
musician and his woman companion

MONOPLANE HAS
FEATURES UNLIKE
OTHER AIR CRAFT
George Lehberger Proud of the
Invention He Has Worked at
for Eighteen Years.

George I,ehberger. a mechanical en-
gineer and craftsman, of 10 Vermont
avenue, has perfected a monoplane
which he declares contains features
never before embodied in heavier-than-
air craft He will make a trial trip
from some site yet to be selected in the
Vailsburg section Saturday morning.
Mr.. Lehberger has been working for
eighteen years upon his monopiane. He
is now 81 years old, and, for the first
time since he set himself to the task
of conquering the air. is convinced that
he is at last successful.
1.-THE main weight of my monoplane
Is suspended 80 that 1t is impossible
for 1t to turn TURTLE said Lehberger,
discussing the machine today. Il can
fly 1t during great storms without any
risk to myself. The machine weighs
300 pounds and is twenty-three feet
long. The spread of the wings is
twenty feet 1t is collapsible. and can
be stored in a space twelve by twelve
eighteen horsepower and is capable OF
driving the monoplane along at the
rate of eighteen miles an hour
"The machine Is built mostly of white
ash and hickory. The metal used in its
construction is aluminium and brass.
The wings are treated with a special
balloon varnish, which makes them air
tight and waterproof.
"But it Is the rudder which is my
particular triumph" continued Mr..
Lehberger. 'It is in front, and differs
from all the rudders now used on
aeroplanes, in that 1t has rotary mo-
tion and admits of the machine being
turned in any direction on the instant
The machine has two propellers in
front and two in the rear. 1t Is
equipped with vertical steering rud-
der In the rear and a broad pigeon
shaped tail"
If weather conditions are right Sat
urday the inventor expects to be able
to prove all of his assertions through
a practical demonstration. His ma
chine is beautifully finished, and, II II
flies as well as 1t appears. should make
its inventor famous.
