FLY over OCEAN
st. Louis Man Has Invented
Real Flying Machine.
Will Carry Fifty People at 100
Miles an Hour.
NOT LIKE THE REST
This AerOplane Is Circular and
Has Passenger Car.
PrOpeIlers Utilized to Lift It
Into the Air.

st. Louis, June IA flying ma
chine which will bring about a COM
plete revolution in aeronautics, &C
cording to it's inventor, has been built
in St. Louis and will be given a test
on the st. Louis University campus in
about sixty days. The machine is
called the gyroplane, ana its designers
say it will be able to transport fifty
persons with ease and fly at q, rate of
100 miles an hour.
In fact, nothing seems too great for
it's inventor, J. W. Oman, to claim for
it. The machine is being built by the
Universal Aerial Navigation company,
with general offices at No 500 Holland
building. Work on the machine is be-
ing done at No. 81 Moth Second
street.
Great secrecy has attended the con-
struction of the machine until recently
as the designers have feared their
plans would be copied. After q trial
flight on the ST. Louis University cam
pus, the inventor plans to go after the
$4,000 prize offered for a flight to
New York. A hangar will be erected
on the university campus 40x60 feet.
It will cost $1,000. The exhibition will
be public.
The framework of the machine has
been set up and everything is ready ex-
cept a few last touches. The machine
measures 80 feet long by 80 wide. 1t
will stand about 20 feet high.
Combines Features of Two Machines.
The features wherein this machine
differs from other air machines is in
the combination of the properties OF
the aeroplane and the helieopter. The
four propellers are used to lift the ma
chine, and after it is in the air are
used to move it through the air. In
addition there is a, plane which can be
turned in different directions at will,
this feature being a variation of the
aeroplane principle. It is constructed
so that it will balance itself automat-
ically, it is said by Mr.. Oman. thus re-
lieving the pilot and engineer of this
responsibility
The machine will be able to rise
without a running start. II is said. The
propellers, which have developed a
lifting power of fifty pounds to the
horse power are much larger than the
ordinary aeroplane propellers. There
are to be two engines of 100-horse
power on the machine. Thus the in
ventor says he will be able to lift 1000
pounds besides the weight of the ma
chine, 5000 pounds
The passenger cage is IL feet by 5
feet long and about feet high. This
will be made larger in the other ma
chimes which are to be made later if
the present flyer justifies the expecta-

tons Of Mr.. Oman. It VIII be tncased

able to descend on the water and rise
again.
st have worked on this model for
twenty years." said Mr.. Oman yester-
day. MY first patent was fled four
teen years ago. This present machine
was begun in November. We are al
most ready for the testing flight, and I
cannot see how we can lose.
1--WE have the lifting apparatus and
we have the engines to do the lifting.
The secret of our success is the con-
verting of our lifting apparatus to pro-
pe1ers after we have gotten in the air.
The weight of the machine is then
shifted onto the plane at the top. There
are greater possibilities in this ma
chine than in any other constructed.
Propellers Are Main Feature.
''It is the largest right now. It will
carry more passengers. A year from
now st. Louis and the world will be as
wild over it, just as the world went
wild over the Wrights' tests. This ma
chine will be built so it cannot be
burned. 1t will be enclosed so the
pilots and the passengers cannot freeze
to death. It is steered with propellers.
1t can remain in the air nOtiOnless. It
can fly 100 miles an hour. It will be
able to fly from st. Louis to New York
without stopping. We have solved the
problem of aerial navigation. Wait
and see.'
The company will use its machines
to transport passengers from city to
city and from country to country, the
officials say. All are confident of sue
cess. The simplicity of the machine,
which can easily be demonstrated so
that anyone may understand it, is what
they count on for success. There are
no complicated arrangements which
might go astray, they say.
After the engines have caused the
machine to mount the plan is to turn
off one of them and keep the other in
reserve. There is no chance Of its
turning turtle because of the auto
matte balancing of the propellers. Mr..
Oman says. There are four wheels
with which to insure safe landing.
w. H. Walters is president of the
company, William Launsey is vice
president, Meyer Isaac is secretary and
Mr.. Oman is general manager. The
machine was built from the proceeds
of the sale of stock in the company.
Mr.. Oman is now working on the de-
tails of a larger machine, which is to
cross the Atlantic.

A Nature Lovers Home

The fascinating nature of scen- cry at Oak creek is such that it brings one back again and again to enjoy its magnificent cool breezes and its wonderful ever in- teresting beauties. A month S visit to Lolomai Lodge, situated on the banks of this famous trout stream, will do more toward re- storing one to normal than all the medicine of the ages. Back to nature, untrammeled by conven- tionalities, there is sleep like boy hood used to bring. The great walls of changing hues, trees from nearly every cline, shady hooks by bubbling springs, never lose interest. Lolomai Lodge is rapidly growing in fame for its hospitality as we'll as location. Mrs. F. w. Sisson will be pleased to send information concerning it upon request.
