MACHINE LIKE A FLYING FISH

London, May IA flying machine. which
is moulded on the lines OF flying fish, has
been invented by Alfred Grohmann. who is
employed as a Joiner at the Star PapeR
Mills, Feniscowle.
MIR. Grohmann. who is of German ex-
traction and has been a ships carpenter,
has given the subject of aerial flight seri-
Gus study. and the directors of the Star
Mills have provided him with every facility
for pursuing it.
The flying fish possesses planes q feet
IN diameter, and on the frame emhody &c
square feet of fabric. By an ingenious con-
trivance the wings close in the same man
ner as a birds, and the whole machine
can be wheeled through an aperture feet
inches wide
Mr. Grohmann argues that the flight OF
the fying fish Is due TO the impetus of the
leap from the water, and Is apparently
not assisted by any movement OF the ms.
the wings always remaining stationary.
Therefore if the rigid wings of a fish can
catch the air currents so as TO enable flight,
so can similar wings assisted by power.
The machine weighs only 1b1 POUNDS, ana
the whole is mounted on woman bicycle
for the purpose OF experiments When the
experiments are successful a different body
viii be applied, with strong motive power.

M. FALLIERES'S SICKNESS
Retirement Rumors Based on
Presidents Ill Health.
Paris. Nav q


Considerable uneasiness prevails in
political and diplomatic circles in regard
TO the health Of President Fallieres.
Will he be able to continue in office until
January, 1913. when his term of seven
years will expire? In the last few weeks
this question has been frequently asked.
The feeling is that NJ. Fallieres may re-
sign office soon on account OF failing
health. 1t is no secret among his friends
that NJ. Fallieres has lately on several
occasions relapsed into a comatose con-
dition that causes grave apprehension
On Sunday. May Is, while at Rambouil-
let, he had one Of his fainting attacks,
and his state was SO serious that reports
Of his death were circulated, but forth
with denied.
President Fallieres, owing to bad
weather, was for some time unable to
take his usual walks in the Rambouillet
woods. He has consequently become
very stout and at times experiences diff
ficulty of breathing.
1t is worthy of note that of the eight
Presidents Of the Third Republic, from
Theirs to NJ. Fallieres, only one. Emile
Loubet, remained President during the
full seven years tenure of Office. Theirs,
MacMahon, Jules Grevy and Casimir
Perier resigned for personal or political
reasons during their various terms.
Sadi-Carnot was assassinated and Felix
Faure died in Office.
In well Informed quarters President
FalIieres's resignation is considered not
improbable. The President, who is a
full-faced, honest, genial representative
Of the provincial bourgeoisie, is not per-
sonally popular in Paris. On several oc-
casions he has failed to be in touch with
public feeling. For instance, during the
strikes of the stable lads, some time ago,
he deemed 1t better not to go to the
Paris races, although IL was the occa-
sion of the special Presidential Stakes
and ambassadors and ministers were on
the ground. His not being present at
the funeral OF the aeronautS who per-
ished In the disaster of La RApublique
was also severely criticised. 1t was
commented upon in diplomatic circles
that when the President went to meet
the King OF Spain few days ago as the
latter passed around Paris on his way
to the funeral of King Edward, M. Fal-
Heres. instead of being dressed entirely
In black. as the Spanish monarch was,
wore his eternal blue silk cravat with
white spots.
President Fallieres is universally re-
spected for his honesty and sterling In
tegrity, but he lacks the tact and savior
faire go essential nowadays for the per-
sonal success of head Of state.
The trend of feeling is that should
President Fallieres retire his successor
will De neither the present President Of
the Senate nor the President OF the
Chamber OF Deputies, but dark
horse" possibly a minister, or perhaps
an ex-minister. {. i. b.

MR.. PINCHoT IN IRELAND
Former Forester Staying with Sir
Horace Plunkett Near Dublin.

London, May 20--A Dublin correspondent
writes:
Clifford inchot. formerly Chief Forester
under the Department of the Interior in
the United States and one of the parties to
the still undecided Pinchot-Ballinger con-
troversy, Is now staying with Sir Horace
Plunkett at Kiltleragh. Foxrock, near Dub
lin He has come to Europe in order to
confer with Mr.. Roosevelt on the situation
which has arisen since the ex-President
left the United States. For some days
past Mr.. Pinchot has been enjoying a
much needed holiday and has visited many
parts Of Ireland, where. as l learn from
him in the course OF an agreeable CONVEX
sation, he found much to interest him in
the light of his special work at home.
He believes that both in Ireland and in
the United States the twin problems Of
the conservation of natural resources and
the reorganization OF country life are on
the road to settlement and that for both
countries the future is full of hope. He
paid q warm tribute to the value of the
advice and assistance which in these mat
tiers Mr. RooseV cit had received from Sir
Horace Plunkett.
"Sir Horaces cooperative ideas were
heartily Endorsed by the pioneers of the
conservation movement in America, and
Mr. Pinchot has been much impressed by
the rapid progress of cooperation in
Ireland. The methods Of work and the
variety Of conditions under which work had
to be done made Ireland great expert
menting station for the rest of the world.
He hoped before long to welcome a country
life institute devoted entirely to the study
of rural problems. Irelands problem was
mainly agricultural. and the one clear
policy about which, as ii seemed to him,
there could be no question whatsoever was
the policy of cooperation.
I'm conclusion Mr.. Pinchot said that as a
professional forester he was convinced that
reafforestation would play a great part in
the future development of Ireland. The
world was now threatened with a shortage
of timber and he had seen in this country
large quantities of land which seemed
likely to contribute far more to the public
wealth under forests than in its present
condition.
Mr.. Pinchot was unwilling to discuss the
political situation in America. He sincere
ly regretted the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt s
arrangements would not allow him to visit
Ireland during his present tour
