BERTH FOR YACHT WYNONA.
Slip Being Prepared for Commits
sioner Johnston's Vessel.

The dock north Of the morgue wharf
and adjoining the ferry slip is being
dredged to make berth for the steam
yacht Wynona. belonging to District
Commissioner Johnston, and which was
brought here about ten days ago to
remain through the winter. The work
is being done by the digging machine
of the Washington Stone Company of
this city, and the dock is to be made
ten feet in depth.
The space being used by Commits
sioner Johnston has been unoccupied
for many years. Form crly 1t was blocked
by the ferry slip, but a change was
made and it was made available for
use. The space was too small for
steamboat occupancy, and filled
with piles, the remains of an old wharf
that was erected there many years ago.
These are being removed and a berth
protected from all winds will be con-
structed for the Wynona.
The yacht has been owned by Com
missioner Johnston for a number of
years. but has had her headquarters
on the st. Lawrence river, at the sum-
mer home of the Commissioner on the
Thousand Islands. She is a handsome
vessel, and will make frequent trips
down the river this fall with Gen.
Johnston and his friends aboard.

AN OLD REMEDY

For more than forty years S. S. S.
has been curing Contagious Blood
Poison in all its forms and stages,
and is today, as it has always been,
the safest as we'll as most reliable
remedy for this disease. One reason
why S. S. S. is so successful in curing
Blood Poison is that it strengthens
and builds up the stomach and diges-
tive members while graduating the
poison from the blood The greatest
of all reasons, however, is because this
medicine possesses just the proper
ingredients, blended and compounded
in such scientific proportion, as to
make it the most perfect blood puri-
fer ever placed upon the market.
S. S. S. is made entirely of roots,
herbs and barks, and in addition to
its value as a remedy, is the one blood
medicine which may be used without
any bad effect, no matter how delicate
the system. Not particle of strong
mineral or other harmful drug enters
into its composition, and you can take
it assured that it will cure you and at
the same time build up your system.
S. S. S. cures permanently and per-
fectly, removing every symptom of
the trouble by natures true way-re-
moving the inward cause. Get S. S. S.

workmanship.

All Sorts of Stories Circulated.

The papers were skeptical of this ek-
PLANTATION They knew Orville Wright had
gone to Kill Devil and the story was
started as stories will start that he was
experimenting with a new machine that
was to fly without power and was to rev.
oiutlonize aeropaning. Possibly the
skepticism was natural. The Wrights are
not given to taking the newspaper world
INTO their confidence as to what they are
gong to do. There We're all sorts of
stories circu ated about the new machine
1t was to be Tapping wing machine. 1t
was to soar on fixed wings without DOW
er. and, finally, from casual remark of
OrrlIle one OF the newspapers gathered it
was TO have a system of automatic bal
ance. Alexander Osilvie was to purchase
part interest in the machine for $780,
Wp' and anyhow it was to be world
beater
Nune of these things materalized dur
ing the stay of the Wrights at Kill Devil
Orville and Ogilvie agreed that the latter
was merely a guest there for an outing.
Certain nobody would have paid hun
dred thousand cents for the motorless ma
chime either on ils appearance or its per-
torrance. There was no automatic bal
ance attached to the machine or tried out
at any time. and after Orvilie got through
explaining the systems of automatic bal
ance he had in mind the newspaper men
who had listened to him for an hour went
on and tied wet towels around their heads
and mutually agreed they knew less about
the subject than they thought they knew

Favorable Wind Awaited.

Days were spent in waiting for ia
vorable wind. As the aeroplane had no
motor 1t had to depend on the force of
the wind to raise it. This could not hap
pen with less than a thirty nile wind,
and fifty-mile wind was better The
conditions. too. on the wind-swept sand
slope of Kill Devil were peculiar The
wind coming In from the unobstructed
stretch of the Atlantic and striking the
face of the kill naturally was shot up
into the air. This rising current under
the planes was what the aviator wanted
but the wind increased in force rap dly
from the surface of the ground upward
At twelve feet high it was blowing twice
as fast as on the ground itself The ma
chine was about twenty-five feet long
from front TO rear. and in consequence
OF this when it was first started from the
sloping face of the hill the front of the
machine was in a thrty-m lie wind, while
the Ia was in wind that was travel
ing only fifteen miles an hour.
The aeroplane had to be balanced to
meet this condition. and before this bal
ance was attained Orville had one narrow
escape from a bad spill. The machine
turned over from front to rear and the
aviator escaped only by turning as the
glider turned, but in the opposite direc-
ton, so that when he landed he was
right side up and not even shaken by
the fall.

Scared Like Piece of Paper.

When the aeroplane had been balanced
fifty-mile gale--the glider. with Orvile as
the aviator. was turned loose and scared
into the air like a piece of paper caught
in gust. 1t was such wind as a fly
ing machine had never faced before but
with the big controls and careful steer
ing on the part of Mr.. Wright the ma
chine lowered 100 feet above the ground.
By steering down the machine could be
made 10 move forward into the wind.
though in such advances II lost height.
1t could regain this by fitting the front
of the machine up. but il the tilt were too
much the aeroplane was carried back
ward. The longest hover was minutes
45 seconds. There was no apparent rea-
son why the aviator could not have gone
higher and stayed longer had he SO de-
sired.
How much the question of personal
skill enters into fight of that sort was
indicated by the fact that 0silvie though
an experienced aviator. could not send
the machine up and stay up as could Or
vile. His best soar was about minute.
Nothing Practical Shown.
Mr.. Wright said there was nothing
prae teal demonstrated by the experi
ments 1t was impossible. he said. Il
have hill made to order facing fifty.
mile wind whenever one wanted to ny
so there was not likely TO be any prac
teal outcome to the experiments.
At the same time. 1t may be said tha
the work marked the start of seriou.
trials in soaring flight. The machin.
with which Orvlle Wright was flying
would glide at an angle of one in nine
The hest of the soaring birds glide at ar

a good deal to catch up. However. 1t i.
possible that man can improve his appa
ratus in this respect. and with larger
knowledge of air currents and greater
personal skill may in time be able to de
something with soaring flight.

VoUCH FOR GOOD WORK
OF HEALTH OFFICER DoTy

New York. August 1.-two distin.
suished physicians who testified at tho
state quarantine investigation to their
belief in the efficiency OF Health OF
hcer Dotty incidentally gave some in
teresting opinions regarding cholera.
DR.. William Fl. Polk, dean OF the
Cornell Medical College. characterize Sl
tumisation as q useless sop to public
superstition. DR.. Simon FleXner. head
OF the Rockefeller Institute of Re-
search. said he thought Dr. Doty's
work at quarantine had set n new
standard for the whole world. The
danger from cholera did not come from
developed cases that could be identi-
fed, he said, but from the cholera
carrier" whose identity could be dis
covered only through careful bacteri-
clogical examination.
DR.. Folks opinion was that strict
quarantine of the attendants OF cholera
patients was not necessary AS long
as the attendants washed their hands
and changed their clothes, he believed
they should be permitted to go home.
The cholera germ. he said. could be
received only through the mouth.
