Trial FLIGHT Near Atehison.

Contrary to original plans, it is now
probable that the initial flight of the
Jacobs aeroplane just built, will be
made near Atchison. 1t was original
ly planned to send the aeroplane to
Minneola, L. l., for the trial flight
The Jacobs machine is a multiplane
of twice the weight of an ordinary
aeroplane, but with three times the
sustaining power. 1t has been a year
in building, and every detail has been
carefully worked out by expert me-
chanica1 engineers, and has cost more
than $4,000.
