Ostrich Feathers Not Pulled.

1t Is a mistaken popular impression
that ostrich feathers are pulled. This
is wrong. The plumes are cut about
every eight months or so, and a keen
edged knife is used in the operation.
After the cutting the stumps lose life,
wither and fall out.

WHO NAMED MIG STREET?
Origin of the Peculiar Name
Which Has Created Much
Interest
Especial to the Farfnerl

Southport, May 11-Strangers and oc-
casionally residents are heard to ask
where the name mic" street came
from and what it means. Some of
the old residents know but the gener-
al public acknowledges ignorance on
the subject. Something like 20 years
ago staunch old Yankee sea captain
owned large tract of ground over
looking the harbor His name was
Sturges Nichols and the house he
built is now occupied by his daughter
many years deputy sheriff for the
town of Fairfield. Captain Nichols
had vein of genuine Yankee humor
in his disposition and when he cut a
street through his property to give
MIN access to such parts of the viii
lage as he desired he named his crea-
ton ''Nic Street, Some of his aris-
breviation and suggested that the new
street should be called Nichols
street" but the old captain insisted
and had his way in the end for he
painted a big sign and nailed it to
his barn. The sign read mic ST.
and Mic street it has been since that
time to this day. Many years ago Ne
hemiah Jennings, well known here as
postmaster, patriot, poet and lover of
good horses owned adjoining property
and desired to extend Mic street. He
was bitterly opposed but finally car
ried the street through to Main st.
Fred Disbrow and others now live on
thej extension. They think that the
street should be Nichols avenue"
because the abbreviation inaugurated
by the old captain does not do him
justice. 1t is doubtful if the town
can ever be induced to call that street

BRIDGEPORT TO. THE
FRONT AGAIN.


Aviation Week has brought out nu-
merous miniature aerOplanes exhibited
up and down Main street, but the
most novel one is in the show window
of the Davis & Hawley jewelry store,
996 Main street.
Mr.. Molnar. native of Austria but
a resident of Bridgeport for the past
twelve years, has invented a wing
flying machine, model of which will
be on exhibition this week only at
Davis & Hawley's.
The motion is exactly like the wings
of a bird; when the up stroke is made,
the wings are arranged to turn to offer
the least possible resistance to the air.
On the down stroke, the wings spread,
carrying the aviator up, forward side
ways in circles, or any direction at
will. This can be done by the mani
pulation of the several levers which
are under complete control of the oper-
ator.
This machine will be cheerfulIy ex-
hibited to anyone interested to see this
most novel machine which may prove
to be the greatest flying machine of
the future.
