BLOW FLY TO BE
AIRSHIP'S MODEL
Experiments Show Insect Is
Flying Machine.'

The Smithsonian Institution has re-
ceived a report dealing with the inves-
legations on the flying organs of insects
and birds. These Investigations, fostered
by the late Secretary Langley with the
hope that they would yield information
useful to engineers and others inter
ested in the problem of aviation, have
been carried on under the direction of
Prof. Won Lendenfeld, of Prague Univer-
sity. for a period of ten years
Prof. Won Lendenfeld believes the blow
fly furnishes the most promising pattern
for a flying machine, and that a working
model should be built according to this
pattern. Papers on the same subject
published are The structure OF wing
feathers" by DR.. Mascha; The cIasping
organs attaching the hind TO the fore
wings i'll hymenoptera," by DR.. Leo Wal
ter, and The air SaCS OF pigeons" by
DR.. Bruno Muller.
Another paper will he added soon to
the Smithsonian collections, "BiblioG-
raphy of the scientific writings Of r. L.

TO the Editor of the Independent:
Minot, N. D.
Dear Sir
My attention having been called to
an article in your regular issue of
November 22nd, headed "Jury Disa-
greed in George Nixon Case" and to
language in the body of the article
which would give the impression that
I voted 10 acquit the defendant for
the reason that I was a '"neighbor"
and for the further reason that I
thought the defendant too old" to be
convicted, I now write to you in the
hope that you will publish this CON-
munication and correct, if possible,
such Impressions or intimations.
l want 1t distinctly understood
that I voted to acquit the defendant
because in my opinion, after a full
and careful consideration of the tes-
timony, I had a substantial doubt as
to the defendants guilt. MY duty as
a juror was to acquit tho defendant
if the state failed to prove him guilty
beyond a reasonable doubt" and hay
ing entertained doubt as to his
guilt which I considered reasonable
my course of conduct could not have
been otherwise.
AS to the portion Of your article
which intimates that "the county
dads are liable to think twice before
voting to again come to the rescue of
needy farmers" apprehend they will
only have to think once if crop c9ndi-
lions demand that county aid be
furnished. The law was made for
the benefit Of the people and not the
people for the benefit of the law.
