fully Remembered.

An extraordinary will has been left
by an elderly unmarried lady who re
Gently died In Vienna. Her property,
amounting to about S25O,00O, is ap-
pointed to be divided between her
three nephews, now aged "a. 81 and
20. and her three nieces. aged 10, FL
and ~, in equal parts on the follow
ing conditions:
Tho six nephews and nieces must
all live in the house formerly inhab-
tied by their aunt, with the executor,
n lawyer, whose business It will be to
see that the conditions Of the will
are strictly observed. None OF the
nephews is 10 marry before reaching
his fortieth year, nor the nieces be.
forc their thirtieth, under the penalty
that the share Of the one go marrying
VIII be divided among the others.
Further, the six legatees are ad
monished never to quarrel among
themselves. II one should do SO per-
sistently the executor ia empowered
to turn him or her out of the house
and divide the share as in the case Of
marriage.
The executor is himself forbidden to
marry or 10 reside elsewhere than In
the house with the legatees as long
ne he holds his office, to which a
handsome remuneration Is attached.
The old maid is said to have made
this peculiar will because her nephews
and nisces continually worried her
duStag her life by asking her to give
them money to enable them to marry
requests she always refused.

DEFECT OF THE AERoPLANE
The Breaking Of One Wing In Some
Machines Certain to Result
In Disaster.

Tnat some aeroplanes are able to
come safely to the ground after break
ins wing In the air and that some
are not was emphasized by the death
or Leon Delagrange at Bordeaux
France. A rather strong wind wac
blowing and when the machine head
ed into the wind the right wing SUD.
oeniy broke and the monoplane fell
10 the ground. This Is the first acct
dent which has occurred owing to the
collapse OF an aeroplane when in the
air. However. some time ago a SINH
lar accident happened to Aeronaut
Latham. but without disastrous re-
suits.
one wing OF his monoplane broke
on and stood almost al right angles
TO the other wing. yet by leaning to
one SIDE and warping the remaining
wing, Latham was able to guide his
machine down In circles and bring Il
saiely to the ground. After repairing
the wing he attached It in such a way
that when he was up in the air he
could pull a cord and cause the wing
to break on as before. He did this,
ana came down d second time with
the wing broken, simply to demon
strate that a broken wing did not nee.
essarily mean disaster.
In the machine used by Latham the
wings are secured separately to q
mast 80 that the breaking of one does
not AFFECT the other. In the Della.
grange monoplane the wings are con.
nected together over tripod. the re-
suit being that If one breaks the otb.
er collapses. and the machine Is surs
to be dashed to the ground.
