AVIATION AND SIXTH SENSE
Makes an Appeal to the Organs OF
Equilibrium That They Have
Never Had Before.

Human aviation makes an appeal to
the semicircular canals (Which are our
organs of equilibration) that they
have never had before. In so far as
aeroplane equilibrium is not secured
through the machine, is not mechanic
ally automatic, it must depend upon
the aviator's sight, touch, muscle pres
sure and semicircular canal sense; and
to that extent man must bring the SEN
sitiveness of these parts to the stand
ard Of the bird The bird depends
wholly upon sight and semtcircular
canal senses in flying. Possibly some
animals can outrival man in every
sense, certainly in scent, and proba-
bly, in sole use of the equilibrial sense
organs But man undoubtedly pos
sesses the highest average Of all ami
mails. He has evolutionally passed
through every grade Of excellence
achieved by any animal with any
sense. But lessened demand on one
sense through increased service OF
others muSt cause some deterioration
IN the unused sense. Has the service
Of our semicircular canals retrograd-
ed? 1t is just possible for man to
place himself in a position of sole re
lance upon his equilibrial sense-in
dark. briny water, while the fish is so
dependent every night. In bird the
equilibrial sense must act far more
quickly than in the fish. The bird
gets aid from it's eyes, which change
focus more quickly than mans eyes.
We know that our equilibrial sense is
slow compared with it's chief assis-
tants, sight and touch. Our equilibrial
sense does not ordinarily reach con-
seriousness except in severe conditions.
Did it at one time, and have the nerves
Of connection simply weakened through
