Wright Brothers Went pepper

The Wright brothers went deeper
into the mechanics of the thing than
anybody else--they dived into the
mechanics of the human body, the re-
fiex action of the spinal cord, what the
psychologists call coordination they
discovered that half the battle is to
be able to handle the machine auto
matically as one rides a bicycle, or
walks, for that matter. The greatest
discovery the Wrights made was,
that the essential of aeroplaning is
this automatic handling of the ma
chine with the muscles. And without
that today man can not fly any more
than he can roller skate.
But they made many other discov-
cries the result of patient, pains
taking experimentation The bending
of the ends of the wings; details OF
Improvement in the gasoline engine;
many things make up the aeroplane
that flies. and the Wrights deserve the
credit for it alias Morse has the
credit for making the telegraph, al
though others before him had work
ed out the science of the electro
magnet.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1910-10-09
Mechanics and Mathematics.

The point is that the aeroplane is
the result of mechanics and mathe-
mates, originating in the physical
laboratories of the universities and
applied with remarkable brains by the
Wrights-but always mechanics and
nothing but mechanics.
Nothing is owed to the birds--ev-
erything is owed to the human mind
combining two things to make a
third thing and SO on. And this is
why the most prominent thing about

Dope For Yeggmen Worked

acknowledgement were defeated in
their plans to rob the State Bank at
Corona, nine miles north Of Milbank,
at l o'clock Wednesday morning by a
dose of formaldehyde.i Cashier George
Clark of the bank some years ago fig
ured that if some fluid could be used
against yeggmen, a great battle to-
ward the safe keeping of money would
be won. Accordingly he purchased
two bottles of formaldehyde, placing
a quart bottle between the doors of the
vault and another in the small box
safe. Those he called his "Yegg doc
tors" The yeggmen blew the door in
the vault with a second charge but
the bottle of formaldehyde was smash
ed all to pieces and its fumes repuls-
ed them from taking the little safe
which contained about a thousand dol
lars. The yeggmen broke into the
depot and three business houses, and
made their escape to Milbank on a
handcar. The windows and fixtures of
the bank are badly wrecked.

their denunciation of the Milwau-
kee railroad for it's failure to build
into the new town of Faith this
fall, as it had repeatedly promised to
do. Recently the road announced that
it would be able to get no farther
than Eagle Butte this winter. Eagle
Butte is forty miles east of Faith.
There are several .f~lourishing towns
between Faith and Eagle Butte, where
the people have been depending on
the road reaching them in time to

papers claim much suffering will re-

to keep faith with Faith. The road
claims that inability to get material
renders it impossible to finish the

form Of humor appeared on my scalp.

would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching.

A neighbor said 1t must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, I decided to
order a set Of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
"a the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated. but toward spring, eighteen
months age, there was a slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. I COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at

my scalp I used about one half a cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box Of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time I took six or seven bottles Of Gu

bottles-neither an expensive or te-
