Where are you going to spend the

This is the question which is being
asked on the North side today. The
answers are many. great many say
they will spend the day at the Silver
Lake celebration. Garfield park. where
the Red Men will hold forth, will of
course attract a large number. Then
Vinewood and Cages lake will come in
for their share of patronage.
Of course a large majority will cele-
brate at home in their own yards.
Several contemplate going to Kansas
City and other out of town places,
while others will celebrate at home in
their own yard or visit wife's folk in
the country. 1t is rumored that the
Dogs union will go to Calhoun bluffs
to be away from the noise and of this
sociey a number of the members
will spend the day under the house.
One of the popular forms of amuse-
ment will be gained from demure

EDISON INTERESTED.
Is Watching Development of Aero
plane and Gives Out Interview.

New York. July 2.-Thomas A Edi-
son is watching the development of
the aeroolane with the keenest inter-
est; In an interview given out here
today he comments as follows on
Glenn Curtiss' recent experiments at
Hammondsport in attempting to drop
bombs on a target resembling in shape
and size modern war vessel
The experiments are very interest
ing and give us an insight into some
or the big problems which must be
solved by the aeroplane inventors
"A method of making the aim of
the operator more exact should not be
difficult to devise. 1 do not think that
gun would be the ideal plan. rather
think that some way should be in
vented by which the missile would be
released down a tube as soon as the
object to be hit had been sighted and
the aim properly regulated.
l. "On the other hand, question
arises as to the destructive efficiency
of such a bomb if it actually struck
the dock of heavily armored bat
tleship. Simply striking the deck
would not, TO my mind, do any ire
mendous damage, unless a special ex-
plosive were used. Experiments along
this line will now be in order.
Another thing: The aeropIane
such as Curtiss uses is very delicately
poised in the air. Travelling at great
speed their ability to remain in the air
is dependent solely on the maintenance
of the speed and of their equipoise 1
can not help thinking that the drop
ping of missile weighing, say 25
pounds, unless managed with the
J, greatest care, which again might tend
to offset accuracy of aim, would seri-
ously jeopardize the equilibrium of the
plane. But 1 am absolutely convinced
that the future Of flying lies in the per-
lection of the helicopter machine,
which will not be under such hand
leap
