CORRESPONDENCE COURSE
PLANNED BY UNIVERSITY,

Seattle, January 23.-Following the
example of several large Eastern and
Middle Western universities, the Uni.
versity of Washington will establish a
free correspondence school embracing
all subjects taught in it's various de-
partments. For this purpose special
fund of $4,000 has been requested
from the legislature, and, according to
Registrar Herbert T. Condor, there
is small doubt: but that it will be
granted.
The movement has been under the
consideration of committee of the
faculty for some time, but their re.
port has just been made public. It is
also planned to organize classes in the
technical sciences which will be free
to Seattle working men and women,
and, if the course proves satisfactory
extension will be made to classes in
Tacoma and other Sound cities.
The object of the plan is to bring
the facilities of the university more
closely home to the state at large, &C
cording to President Thomas F. Kane
who conceived the scheme. This plan
has been successful in several re
nowned Eastern schools, notably Wis
consin and Chicago universities.

OLDEST WASHINGTON APPLE
TREE is Identified.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 21.-A. A.
Gutenberg, district fruit inspector, dis
covered and identified the Oldest apple
tree on the Pacific coast recently, and
Colonel McGunnegie, of Vancouver
Barracks, Wash, commander of the
post, has ordered that fence be con-
structed around the aged fruit bear
er. In the near future tablet bearing
it's history will be erected near the
tree. The tree was planted years ago
by early officers of the Hudsons Bay
company from seeds carried in their
pockets from England. Mr.. Gutenberg
believes the tree to be about IS years
old. A passage in history of the
early settlers has the following to say
concerning the origin of the tree: "At
lunch party in London about 1925,
given in honor of some young gentle
men who we're about to embark for
Fort Vancouver in the employ of the
Hudsons Bay company, seeds of the
fruit eaten were slyly slipped by some
young ladies into the waistcoat peck
cts of the young men, and, upon their
arrival at their destination, the young
men, in overhauling their wardrobes,
discovered the seeds and gave them to
Bruce, the gardener at the fort"

SPOKANE MEN ORIGINATE
NOVEL AIR MACHINE

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 21.-To Spo
kane men will go the credit of orig
mating a new idea in aeroplane con
struction, according to experiments
and the forecasts made by many flying
machine men who have seen the mod
els at work here.
The airship is known as the Coyne
Helicopter, and it is the invention OF
DR.. w. E. S. Coyne and George Foster,
both of Spokane. The declared posi-
bilities of the machine are such as to
startle those who are not familiar with
the plans.
Instead of little six-cylinder engine
the Helicopter will be equipped with
four 100-hOrsepower motors to work
the planes above the machine, which
rotate at rapid rate and give the air.
ship lifting power of $4,000 pounds
An additional motor of great power is
installed to run the propeller which
drives the ship ahead.
The car is built on the idea of a
plum bob. 1t cannot turn turtle" for

signed in such manner as to enable
it to land on the top of a roof. 1t re
Quires no flying start, but once the
machinery is set in motion it can rise
Immediately into the air.
The two sets of planes are miniature
biplanes and the upper and lower sets
rotate in opposite directions. They are
installed at any agne and the speedy
rotation gives it the tremendous lift
ing power It is estimated the car will
have speed of from Is to $50 miles ar
hour. According to the computations
made, it is expected to be able to carry
from 35 to 40 passengers.
A company has been formed under
the name of the Coyne Helicopter Air
ship Company, and has miniature mod
els on exhibition here. The company
is now planning the erection of full
sized aeroplane.

Senator Bourne, president of the
league, made the following statement
in regard to it's organization and pur-
pose:
The declaration of principles of the
National Progressive League speaks
for itself. While it's membership is
confined to those who believe the Re-
publican party represented by pro-
gressive Republicans offers the most
encouragement for the establishment
OF these principles, there is no purpose
to make it political organization in
the sense of the promoting of the poll
teal fortunes of any man or men. The
enactment of legislation carrying out
the program is it's sole purpose, and it
stands ready, whenever acceptable, to
assist Democratic as we'll as Republi-
can legislators to secure such legisla-
tion
"The league will at once enter upon
an aggressive campaign State legis-
lators will be organized and upon re-
quest furnished with bills, literature
and speakers. Permanent headquar-
tiers will be maintained for carrying
on the work."

WAS LAST TO SING FOR kInu
Sang Favorite Hymn for Late
King Edward VII.

Much Is being made Of Nine. AlyA
Lorraine. the American opera singer.
by British aristocracy just now. For
she had the distinction of being tho
last to sing for the late King Edward
VII. before his death.
She sang for the king his favorite
hymn. Nearer, My God, to Thee" at
his special request, for he seemed to
have had Z presentiment that the end
was not far or It was at Biarritx
and the beautiful New York widow
rose well to the occasion. Anticipat-
ing that the king would ask for this
hymn. Nine. Lorraine stayed up sew
eral hours practising 1t on the prevf-
GUS evening. When the service was
over, King Edward complimented the
Isoloist with peculiar emphasis and
said he hoped to hear her at Convent
Garden. Before leaving Biarritz he
sent Mime. Lorraine . present OF q
bracelet
King Edward had already heard Of
her In connection with q successful
concert she gave in London. She COM
piled q series Of songs composed BY
royalty of them by members OF
King Edwards own family at
this concert only these compositions
we're performed.
Nine Lorraine has been q student
Of the serious school, both In Florence
and Paris. Six years Of hard study
has given her fine finish. Jean de
Reszke says Of her that she IL an
ideal Marguerite. Being big and
blonde and of wonderful coloring, she
looks the part naturally. Though not
long before the public. Mime. Lorraine
has won laurels at Baden-Baden, The
Hague. Monte Carlo. Paris andN Lon
don. and the adhesion Of the British
aristocracy to her cause this year
means that Z record winter season
lies before her.-Kansas City Star.

PRESS CHARGES
WILL Be REDUCED
Change Is Decided Upon at
Meeting of All Important
Companies.

New York, January 20.---Oniccrs OF
Canadian and American express COM
panies in conference here to-day an
nounced tonight reduction in through
rates soon to take effect between all
offices OF the United States and many
of Canada.
All the important express companies
were represented. including tho Adams.
Canadian, American. National, North
ern Southern, Western Pacific. United
States and Wells Fargo. and the New
York and Boston Dispatch.
In explaining the new schedule. the
companies instance tho present rates
between Plainiield, N. j.. and Boston,
which. under the new rule. will DO 81
cents. a saving to tho shipper of SO
per cent. Tho announcement follows:
"A decision was reached day by
the principal express Companies, which
Is OF far-reaching Importance. In
stead Of two Companies which may
handle an express package making a
separate charge on each line. the
charge will be the same 4 81 one COM
pany had carried the package from
shipping point to destination.
Necessary details arc now being
perfected. and as soon as legal re-
quirements are complied with this plan
for through service al through rates
will then take effect. generally be-
tween all express offices in tlfc United
States"
One OF the conferees said
1T has always been customary
when express shipments were handled
by two companies between which joint
rates were not in effect to make the
charge equal the sum of the local
charges OF each company. Under tho
new plan the charges between all
offices VIII be the Same as If one COM
pany had carried the package from
shipping point to point OF destination.
This Will effect a radical reduction In
express charges on ali shipments to
or from what Is known as exclusive
ofices-that Is to say, points where
but one express company is repre-
sented"
