Admiral Kimball, who was present.
expressed himself as greatly Impress
ed with the possibilities of the aero
plane in warfare, but said these were
its present defects for war purposes:
Lack Of ability to operate in average
weather at sea, signaling approach by
noise made by motor and propeller
impossibility of controlling heights
and speed so as to predict approximate
range. difficulty of hitting when work

election must issue not less than sixty
nor more than ninety days from the
approval of the act. Then there will
be sixty days before the call of the
convention. The law provides that
the delegates will be paid for but six
ty days of the sittings of the conven-
ton. This is with view to getting
the new organic law of the two states
framed within that period.
Then will come a general territorial
election to ratify the constitution
drafted. The governor will then GER
tify the action taken with a copy of
the constitution to the president and
congress. Both president and con-
gress must approve the constitution
adopted. The two new stars will not
properly belong on the flag until July
4, 1911, and it is even possible through
some hitch in the process of organiza-
ton that they may not shine officially
before July 4, 1912. For the flrststime
in more than generation the stars
will appear in a perfect parallelogram
eight stars across the top and six
stars deep. Heretofore it Eas been
a problem to arrange them symmetri-
cally, but the number forty eight is
capable of regular arrangement.

Considerable time has been devoted
by the aviators of late to determine
the merits Of the worldwide discussion
as to the value of the aeroplane in
war; Probably Glenn II. Curtiss has
made the most thorough and satisfac-

demonstrations at Hammondsport,

Last week Macon secured the knock

immigration commission and got a
$25, 200 reduction in the appropriation
for the Pan American congress at

He occupies a seat directly in front
of Speaker Cannon, in the first row,
to the center aisle. and every time a
bill comes up appropriating money, he
comes up too.

And then he proceeds to make a

Macon comes from Helena, Arkansas,
where a dollar looks very large. 1t
makes no difference to him whether

backed by the republicans or the dem
ocrats, He is against it if it carries an
appropriation. and he counts that day

He is therefore, not particularly
