Pasadena-In a flying machine that
held together only through the good
will of Providence, Calbraith P. Rod
gers, the transcontinental aviator,
glimpsed the Pacific ocean Saturday.
as he scared over the gray top of
Mount Wilson and settled down in
Tournament Park, amidst clamorous
multitude, waiting to welcome him at
what was virtually the finish of his
fight from Sheepshead Bay. N. Y.
Rodgers landed at 4:10 o'clock in the
afternoon.
Rodgers appeared on the sky line
shortly after 3 o'clock, few moments
after he had risen at Pomona, 20
miles away. He was sighted first by
telescopes levelled at him from the
solar observatory on Mount Wilson.
and word flashed down the mountain

20, 600 people to Tournament Park.
The aviator, flying at height of
5, 900 feet, lowered over the city for a
few minutes, then warping the planes
that previously had been as motionless
as the spreading pinions of soaring
eagle, he sailed in wide spiral and
volplaned down to the .greensward in
the middle of the park
Rodgers literally was mobbed. He
was borne hither and thither by the
surging crowd. Eager hands clutched
and scratched him, but his leather
clothing was strong enough to resist
attack, although afterwards the avia-
tor declared his ribs would surely
manifest black and blue marks of an
over-enthusiastic greeting.
Rodgers started on the last dash OF
his fight from Banning, little town
out in the desert, where his arrival
had interrupted the only diversion Of
the year-the funeral dance of the
Mojave Indians. The aviator saw &

A man came to Michigan about a

Mammoth's Bone Dug Up.

Hillsboro, Or.-Part of the femur
of mammoth was found here while
workmen were digging well for the
Hillsboro water system. The bone
was found IL feet in the earth, on a
beaverdam deposit, and must have
been buried for thousands of years.
1t is well preserved and measures six
inches in diameter. Search was made
for other portions of the skeleton, but
nothing was found, and it is evident
that the femur had been washed some
distance after the skeleton was dis
membered.
