Local Men Would Soar.

Prof. E. w. Brown of the high
school faculty and some Of the boys
of the student body have been at
work for several days on a "glider"
which is now nearing completion
and with which they expect to be able
to make some successful flights. While
the glider" is built on similar plans
to an aeroplane, 1t has no motive pow
er but when properly constructed will
glide for a considerable distance from
slight elevations. The mechine is
being constructed in the Milarkey
hall and when completed will be ia
ken to the top of one of the hills
south of the city for the trial flights.
Prof. Brown will be the first to "soar''
and Lyman Rice is scheduled for the
next trip.

Bright Meteor Is Seen.

A meteor of exceptional size and
brilliancy startled many residents of
Pendleton last evening about 9 O'Clock
by shooting through the heavens
from south to north and lighting up
the sky for a full minute. 1t seemed
so close to the ground that several
of those who saw it listened for the
thud of its contact with the earth for
it seemed as though it must strike
the ground between here and the Co
lumbia river. So far, however, no one
has reported its discovery. After it
had passed a long white streak was
left in its path and pieces of the mott
en- mass, apparently the size of base
balls, were dropped as it went over
the city. Councilman Sharon who
was one of those who saw it. say it
would have been possible to have read
a newspaper by it's glare. The meteor
appeared to be about 25 feet in di-
ameter and was going at a rate Of
speed almost beyond comprehension.
The same or a similar meteor was
seen from Walla Walla.
