Mailing the Loss OF the Temple.
It is on the edge of this Jewish quar-
where Solomon's Temple once stood,
that the Jews come weekly to sorrow
over the loss of Jerusalem and pray
Coo to give the lane back to them.
The custom has been observed since
the middle ages, and it is still cele-
brated every Friday afternoon and
Saturday morning. Tt takes place in
q narrow alley surrounded by miser-
able houses. One side of this alley is
walled with great blocks of limestone,
which forms part of the tenn pie area.
Against this wall about fifty men and
women were leaning when / visited
the place last week. They had their
heads bowed, and many of them shook
with emotion as they prayed, sobbed
and walled. The most of them were
old, and the long curly locks Which
fell down in front Of their ears were
of silver. Others were just in theil
prime There were also young men
and young girls. Not a few Of the
male mourners wore European clothes

which she promised to finance for
year.
The association was formed with
DR.. Bell chairman and Leuta-srr
Thomas E. Selfridge, a young ar~g
enthusiast who Joined in the e<uerf-
mental work as special detached dutr
as secretary. Because of his EraWI,
edge of motors and special consrrsc-
ton work, Curtiss was invited t. -a,n
and was made director of experiments
It was planned that each member
sh2lt design a machine which should
be built by the association. The first
machine, Red Wing" was des1aneu
by Lieutenant Selfridge. The "Whtta
Wing" designed by Baldwin, followed
and in this McCurdy made his first
flight.
Following the white Wing" Cur
tiss designed and su~pertntended the
construction Of the June Bug" with
which McCurdy made a number Of
flights, and the "Silver Dart DESIGNED
by McCurdy, was the last machine
built by the association.

Most of the women however were
dressed in Jewish costume with sha"LS

Each of the mourners had a book III

party broke out into a chant, d gray

substance Of one of the chants was as

The Jews of other lands are liberal
in their gifts to the Jews OF Palestl1e.
They have established schools ana nos,

have agricultural colonies scattered
over the country. These colonies al
ready comprise 5000 mber ana
they own something like a hundred
thousand acres of land. Some are IN
Galilee, some in Judea Id very
large one is not far from the
Of Jaffa.
The latter is known as the Hisnon

people, who cultivate $500 acres OF

Rothschilds and afterward managed
by the Hirsch colonization fund. " Is
now said to be run at a profit. Inc
other colonies are similar to 1t, ana
some Of them nearly as large. Each
has a school. a drug store, a hospltal
and a synagogue.
The Sir Moses Montefiore colonies
and schools here at Jerusalem are do
ing good work, and the French-Je Wlsh
Society, which has a million members,
is now maintaining 14O schools, In
Guiding manual training schools for
girls and boys. If the students do Well
they are given a capital to start out
with and are established in little shops
of their own. In some of these schools
the children are so poor that they are
furnished one meal a day, and one suit
Of clothes ever year.
In addition to the above there are
many other sources from which money
comes here. There is one fund col
lected from the s~ynagogues Of the
United States, which is regularly sent
from New York to the Holy Land. It
is contributed to by Jews all over our
country. I understand that there Is
some question as to whether this fund
is as we'll managed as it should be, and
it is said tina our consul has been
asked to investigate it's distribution.
Their are so many Jews here that the
money sent should reach the right par
ties.

MANS Fastest MILE
Glenn n. Curtiss Made it in
rs rs Seconds
Great Meet of AviatOrs in Raleigh,
Noy 1911, Causing Public to Read
Up on Daring Navigation OF the Air.

Up on Daring Navigation of the Air.
While Glenn H. Curtiss, under whose
auspices Raleigh is to a a great
meeting Of flying machines, November
10th and 18th, is most known to the
public as an aviator. he has another
worlds record to his credit which is
liable to stan for a long time. 1t is
having made the fastest mile ever
raveled by a human being except,
perhaps. some unfortunate individual
who was dropped over a cliff and did
not live 70 tell OF it.
At Ormond Beach,, Florida, in 1906,
he travelled a mile in rs 2-5 seconds.
This feat, since termed the
Curtiss mile was accomplished with
a motor cycle equipped with a 40
horsepower motor. CurtlSS was eX-
clusively in the motorcycle business
at that time and he wanted a record
for his machine that would stand.
There was nobody he could trust to
make the record but himself, and he
started out to set a figure that Would
keep the makers of worlds RECORDS
busy for some time.
His machine was in a class by IT
self, and he simply went after the mile
L SCO1d III SUI l. - "hS 10000
cations. 1t is the record. It has stood
for four years and there is apparently
no likelihood of lowering it. He had
a flying start and when he crossed
the line at the beginning of the mile
straight-away, he was going so fast
that if the machine had possessed very
small planes it would have flown. He
was over the finish almost before the
timers were ready for him, and he
had to travel another mile before he
could slow up.
Curtiss does not look like an ath-
1ete, but he is one. He IS q tall, ap-
p~arently loo~Se-jointed fellow, very
quiet and seemingly quick in his move
ments, but he has the natural adapt
ability and resourcefulness of the train
ed athlete and he has the nerve to take
chances, always taking them, now
ever, with his eyes wide open.
One Of his friends who say the first
flights of the now classic June Bug
.Curtiss' first flying machine, at Ham
enondsport. said that there was one
biece Of ground the machine had to
Aross in flying over the experimental
grounds where the real flying was
done. This was Owe a vineyard and
he said there was always an upward
current of air there so that in cross
ing it, the machine invariably put UP
her nose and began to climb. He said
he had seen Curtiss often leave his
seat anu Cld"l Out oh ~
rudder and hold it down till this spot
was passed and then climb back to his
seat.
That is just a sample of the nerve
that an aviator has alwayS to be will
ing to display, but there is a difference
between Willingness to do it and the
ability not only to do it, but to see
when it is necessary. Curtiss says he
never takes chances, and that prob
ably is true in a way. He dmit that
he sometimes does hazardous things,
but he says that when he does them
they are necessary and therefore are
not chances.

Sensational aeroplane flights are
and 18th, beginning the Aviation
Meet, when J.. A. d. McCurdy, n Of
Americas pioneer aviators, will make
q series of flights in his Curtiss BIZ
plane.
Aside from Glenn H. Curtiss and the
Wright Brothers, Mr.. McCurdy has
had a larger and more valuable flying
experience than any other aviator,
having made II of the first public
flights in the United States, besides
being the first man to fly an aerop1ane
in Canada, where he still holds the
records for distance and duration of
flight. It is to ride with McCurdy that
the majority Of requests thus far show
preference, except Mr.. Curtiss himself.
He was associated with Glenn H
Curtiss when the Hammondsport man
was making his first experiments in
a~erOnauticS in the Aerial Experiment
Association, of which both were mem
bers. McCurdy made his first fight
in a machine heavier han air as far
back as May %, 1908. when he flew
the white Wing" the second ma
chine built by the association. Later
he operated the Bug" the first
machine designed by Glenn H. Cur
tlSS, Wnlcn MADE successful Hight
from the first trial, and with which
Mr.. Curtiss won the Scientific Ameri-
a trophy for that year.
In December of 1908 the %associa-
ton built the "Silver Dart on speci-
fications furnished by McCurdy, and
he made a number Of successful
flights, h first in his own machine
being on December 6. Since that time
he has built and flown other machines
at Baedeck, Nova Scotia, at the ex-
perimental headquarters of DR.. Alex
ander Graham Bell.
McCurdy is a young engineer, who,
with F. W. Baldwin, was engaged by
Or. Bell to build a t~etrahedral tower
on his Raedeck estate for use in his
kite experiments. Before his work
was completed, a strong friendship
existed between DR.. Bell and the two
young engineers.
The ung men showed a keen
interest in the experiments Of the In
ventor and discussed aeronautic prob
lens with him, showing such enthu-
siasm that Mrs. Bell suggested the
forming Of an experiment association,

Chinatown was in turmoil of ex-
citement Tuesday night. On both sides
of South Oregon street the rival tOngs,
the Yees on the east side and the Mars
on the west side, were lined up as if
exporting battle. BY 10 o'clock the
streets were filled with the pig tailed
celestials and the jabber sounded like
a concrete mixer running wild Threats
and counter threats we're made back
and forth across the street and trouble
was expected at any minute The ap-
pearance of a half dozen constables and
deputy sheriffs with police sergeant
Powell Roberts and Barney Early
caused the Chinese to fade away to
their cellars and laundries.
Houses Inspected.
4 few of the holder ones remained
on the streets until the police and con-
stables had inspected all of the Chinese
houses. The knowing ones among the
Chinese told the officers that trouble
was sure to result from the ill feeling
between the two tOngs and that Tues
day night was the time set for the
slaughteE-. No fighting has been re-
ported 10 the police and the arrest of
the four Chinese and the search for
the three others is thought TO have
stopped the threatened warfare. The
Chinese brethren have a horror of the
Americn brand of law and are conf
ing their combats to the hidden city
below ground on South Oregon.
