FEAT is ACHIEVED
BY GLENN CUR |SS
fIe Succeeds III Raising Aero
plane From Surface OF
Mater.
MAKES WONDERFUL FLIGHT
Returning, He Alights in San
Diego Bay, Easily as
Gull.

san Diego. Cal, January 26.-For
the first time in the history Of aviation
an aeroplane rose from the surface of
the water to-day. sailed about and
returned t, the starting point. where
it landed on the water as easily as a
gull.
This feat was achieved BY Glenn IL.
Curtiss in his specially equipped aero
plane on San Diego Bay The ma
chine covered a distance of about two
miles, and the flight was made after
almost two weeks Of experimenting to
devise special appliances to float the
machine and allow 1t to attain suffi :
clent speed on the surface of the
water before lifting.
Both the army and the navy were
represented at these experiments.
When the aeroplane was brought out
and floated on the shallow water be :
tween Coronado and North Island it
was equipped with hydroplancs and
u new arrangement on front surfaces.
Curtiss climbed into the seat and
started the powerful motor. The
acroplanc scndded UP the bay at a
lorty- mile clip for quarter Of a
'niie' then lllted out OF the water
and rose to height OF nifty feet.
After remaining III the air one min :
ute and twenty-five seconds, flying q
half mile, Curtiss alighted and turned
around as easily as a motor boat.
Putting on full power. he again arose,
this time to height Of 100 feet sailed
out over the hay from the starting
place. circled around near the revenue
cutter Bear and the repair ship Iris.
and landed lightly on the water in
front of the hangar on shore.
II have succeeded in solving the
one problem the Secretary OF the Navy
regarded as the most difficult and
the one necessary to make the aero
plane of value to the navy" said Cur
tiss as he stepped ashore Il can now
start an aeroplane from the water

and, returning, light alongside and be

A LARGER AIR TANK
At the Water Works Siphon
Pump Station.

The Richmond City Waterworks
company is improving its equipment
at the pumping station east of the city.
They are installing larger air tank
and placing it in pit on a level with
the pipe line. 1t is claimed that this
will reduce the back pressure at this
point and greatly increase the eff
cheney OF the siphon system.
The pumping apparatus for the ST.
phon system is very cleverly con-
structed arrangement. 1t works auto
matically, and about all the attention
it gets is when an employee of the COM
pany goes out to look after the sup
ply of Oil about every thirty days. The
purpose of this little pumping plant is
to keep the line free of air so that the
water will siphon from the wells to
the pumping station here in town.
When a certain amount of air gets in
the tank, through which the water
runs, a float attachment throws a
switch connecting the electric current
with the motor, and this in turn runs
the pump that draws the air from the
tank. This done the switch automati-
cally disconnects the current and the
motor stops. The current is received
from the interurban line.

Murray.

While the whole bill being present
ed at the Murray this week is a most
pleasing one in every respect, there
are one or two features that are being
spoken of freely as above all others.
One is the clever work Of Miss Joseph
inc Fields, one of the principals in
the Bama Bama Girls" who are APP
pearing in a miniature musical COM
edy entitled, "Toyshop Pastimes."
Miss Fields is so pretty of face, so
comely of form and SO graceful of mo-
ton that she is constant delight to
the eye. She has light pleasant voice
that shows to advantage in her vocal
selections. She is in the center of ac-
tivity during practically the entire act
and there is never a dull moment
while she occupies the center of the
stage. William McGraw is also entitled
to a great deal of credit for the sue
cess Of the Offering. He is a capital
comedian and his efforts are always
we'll received.
Miss Mae Taylor. with her exquis-
lite wardrobe, has been the cynosure
of all feminine eyes during the week
With a different gown for every day
and each one more beautiful than it's
predecessors Miss Taylor mas most as.
suredly kept up her reputation as the
best dressed single act In vaudeville.
Harvard Judge. with his novelty
ladder act, has been the subject of
much favorable comment during the
week. while Sylvester and Vance have
been riot at every performance.

by Augustus Neville and company in

PUBLIC IMPOSING
UPON AMBULANCE

Imposition is practiced on the city
ambulance" said Police Supt. Gormon
People call for the ambulance when
there is nothing but drunk and for
persons who are able to walk. No one
should call for the city ambulance un.
less in case of serious accident when
person is injured SO that it is impos-
sible for he or she to walk"
Supt. Gormon says that the patrol
wagon is often needed when the patrol
driver and the patrol horse are out
with the ambulance. He says it is Of
ten the case that while the ambulance
is out on a useless mission there
is real necessity of sending out the
patrol elsewhere. He says that the
city ambulance is often called to re-
move persons from the Reid Memorial
hospital after they have been discharg-
ed as we'll and are able to walk.
I'VE are always willing to send the
ambulance whenever it is called, but
We do not like to be hoodoed," the
superintendent stated.
