FEAT
Of BIRD Man
ELY FLEW Is MILES, LANDS ON
WARSHIP, THEN FLIES BACK
To STARTING POINT
NOT SLIGHTEST ACCIDENT

San Francisco, Jan 19-Eugene B.
Ely yesterday flew 13 miles in an
aeroplane and made a successful land
ing on the cruiser Pennsylvania and
an hour later rose from the cruiser
and flew cack to Selfridge field IL
miles south of San Francisco.
The feat was accomplished without
mishap. Not wire or bolt OF the
bi.piane was injured.
lit was easy enough said Ely as
he stepped from his seat after his re-
turn was seized by the cheering sol
diers of the Thirtieth Infantry and
hoisted on their shoulders.
1t was 10:45 o'clock when he left
the aviation grounds. His motor work
ed perfectly, and after a few cir
cles he headed notheast, swept over
the San Bruno hills and disappeared
towards San Francisco
In the meantime the wireless advis-
ed the cruiser, at anchor with the
fleet in the bay that he would make
the attempt and final preparations
were made for his reception. A wood
en- platform 13O feet long and SO feet
wide had been constructed over the
after deck of the ship.
1t sloped gently aft and across the
|
floor were stretched ropes with 1O0,-
pound sandbags made fast at either
end These were designed to be caught
| by hooks on the lower framework of
| the biplane.
| AS a further precaution a canvas
ward end OF the platform. Launches
and ships boats, fully manned, were
rut out in event of mishap. Ely had
installed two 70-foot pontoons under
his aeroplane to float the machine in
case he was forced to descend on the
| water.
! At 10:5S the lookout on the cruiser
Pennsylvania sighted Ely through the
haze and the ships siren roared a
rifle speed and circled around the
fleet, dipping in salute to each ship,
and came up in the wind for the stern
of the Pennsylvania.
He was flying low as he neared the
ship, and dropped down lightly, strik.
ing the platform about forty feet
from the inner end. The hooks on the
aeroplane caught the ropes and stop
ped the biplane within sixty feet.
When Ely touched the deck he was
going about thirty five miles an
hour, but so gradually was the speed
checked by the dragging OF the
| weighted ropes, as they were caught
in succession, that he came to stand
still without disarranging any part
lof the machine.
cheers and rush of officers, visi.
tors and sailors to greet the aviator.
One of the first to reach Ely was
his wife, who was on the bridge with
Captain Pond.
Exactly one hour from 10 time he
landed on the cruiser, Ea, 5ook his
seat in the machine and gave the word
to let go. The aeroplane swept down
the 30-foot platform at high speed,
dropped off the stern with a gentle
slip and then rose over the ships in
the harbor. Rising to a height OF
1000 feet, Ely circled over San Fran
cisco and then headed for the avia'
ton field. He landed there at twleve
o'clock.

The Board of Trustees has solved
the difficult question of securing site
for the new Carnegie Library in a way
that is very economical and should be
entirely satisfactory. The location is
the northwest corner of the park
where the surroundings will always
be pleasant and where nice new
building will add to the good appear
ance of the park. A resolution was
passed last week by unanimous vote
of the County Board granting the Lii
brary Board the right to erect the
building and the site has been ap-
proved by Mr.. Carnegie.

Object Of Normal Institutes

The Importance of the Normal In
Stitute as a part of our school system
cannot easily be oyerestimated. To
many teachers it is the only school in
which they can get any training in
the best means of discipline and the
most approved methods of instruction.
To many others it is the only place in
which they can go annually for new
draughts of inspiration and enthusi-
asm to refresh themselves for another
years work.
The most important thing to be
done in an institute is not to impart
information that will assist in secur-
ing certificate nor alone to drill in
the latest and best methods of teach
ing, but to inspire the lifeless, streng-
then the weak, encourage the dis
couraged, and elevate the teachers
ideals of their work and life.

Special Instructor On The AIdine Sys
TEN Of Primary Reading

For some time we have been trying
to decide upon some way of improving
the reading OF pupils in the Rural
Schools. Reading is the Key to ALI
other studies, therefore we must con-
slider it first in Importance. After
considerable thought along this line
we have decided to adopt this system
believing it to be the most feasible
for the use of rural teachers. 1t is es-
pecially necessary for some system
like this in a country where there are
so many children who must learn the.
language at the same time sthey are
learning to read. This system pro-
perly taught will be a great aid to,
those children.
If teachers are really interested in
their pupils progress they will hail
this as an opportunity for them as
teachers to get out of an old rut and
give to their pupils some live material.
We want to see our teachers receive a
living wage but we want them to give,
back to the patrons of the schools
value received. We want good read
ing, good writing, good spelling.
Rural Pupils Examination
A Special will be held for those who
did not take Music and Civics but
passed in previous examination in
other branches on Friday June Both.
We should like to have pupils ready
to write by 10 a. m. Of that day. Pu-
pills must notify us if they wish to
take this. If there are any pupils in
the County who have not received re-
port of their examinations, please no.
