The new rate is effective with the

It was admitted, however, that on

that the claims originally set up would

LITTLE DAMAGE RESULTS
FROM FALL OF AlRSHlP
Invention of Harry orme, with Owner
in Seat, TumbIes During Its
Trial Flight

Harry A. Orme's aeroplane which he
has been working on at BrightWood Tor
some months past was injured in
trial there last week, butt though the
aviator was in the seat, the machine
was not off the ground and there was
no injury to anybody. The machine it
self was not hurt beyond having one of
the propellers broken and some of the
control wires pulled loose.
The Orme machine is a biplane that
looks at first sight much like the
Wrights But it is a rigid machine
and instead of fleXing wings has an
umbrella-like arrangement over the
top that can be pulled down at any
point on the edge and serves to guide
the machine and preserve the balance.
1t is a smaller machine than either the
Wright or Curtiss and weighs, includ-
ing the engine. only ninety-eight
pounds. The third deck arrangement
has been tried out ON gliders and a.
small working model and has been
found to operate satisfactorily.
The man-carrying machine is started
from a rail with falling weights like
the Wright aeroplane, and several at
tempts have been made to get it start
ed, without result. The prOpellers are
small, but revolve at more than twice
the speed of any machine now flying,
and the inventor depends on this to
keep the machine in the air.
In the accident last week the ma
chine was about three-quarters of the
way down the rail and was apparently
Just about to rise, when one of the
wires of the control mechanism got
loose and mixed with the high-speed
propellers. The result was that the
whole of the controlling apparatus was
wrecked and the machine made leap
forward and landed heavily, but did
not hurt the operator. 1t will take
about ten days to make the repairs.
1t is intended to have the machine
on exhibition at the aero show to be
held in conjunction with the automo-
bile show, and it is believed that re-
pairs can be made and possibly some
successful flights made before then.
1t is expected that trials will be
made soon of a machine that is being
constructed by Robert Moore, assist
ant to Emile Berliner. This machine
is a monoplane, and when tested out
recently it had pull C 1873 pounds on
the propeller, 1t promises as well as
any of the machines that have been
built around Washington, and it is
hoped that it will be in the air before
spring. g.-Washington Star.
