Celebrated Novelist's Prediction About
Flying.

In the December American Magazine
H. G. Wells, the famous English novel
ist, writes an article entitled "My Firsi
Flight" which is a description of his frs
experience in a flying machine. He made
o trip in a waterplane with Mr.. Grahamt
White. Following is an extract:
i "And so it was that | went up int.

sion that flying was still an uncomfort.

"The development of these water

flying which is now certainly imminent.
We ancient survivors of those who be-
lieved in and wrote about flying before
there was any flying, used TO make a
great fuss about the dangers and diff
culties of landing and getting up. We
wrote with vast gravity about starting
rails and landing stages and it is still
true that landing an aeroplane, except
upon a well known and quiet lexel ey-
panse, is risky and uncomfortable bus

In western Kentucky, and presided
over by that eminent Presbyterian
divine, Dr. Winslow.
Il remember that the orator OF the
day was DR.. James Young, the cele-
brated Sons OF Temperance lecturer.
Changes of Three Score Years.
But what comes to me- al this
time with more force than any thing
else is the great change that has TAX
en- place during these sixty years.
remember that there were no auto
mobiles on the ground at my first
Fourth OF July celebration; there
we're no bicycles there; there we're no
telephone lines through the country;
there were no monographs to be
heard, and there were no electric
lights to be seen.
But there was much In evidence
that We Of today may we'll be proud
OF. There we're genuine Kentucky
hospitality and true American patri-
otism manifested in abundance. The
people Of that time made use Of all
Of the means at hand to promote the
general welfare OF all; and that is all
any people can do. We OF today do
no more.
AT that time there we're only Ave
states west OF the Mississippi river,
Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and
California. Now there are twenty
one states west OF that river. These
states are great in population, great
In wealth, and great in political in
Auence.
Il do not believe that scientific ma
terial progress during the next sixty
years will be as great as It has been
during the past sixty years, but edu-
catlonal and moral Advancement will
certainly be much greater. We are
going to learn the science OF right
living more perfectly. We are going
to learn the great truth that all men
are Of common brotherhood We
are going to learn how to rightly
conserve human energy and how to
rightly distribute the fruits Of hu-
man energy.
I'VE are going to learn more per
fectly what the Man OF Gallilee meant
when he said, In all things whatso'
ever you would that men should dc
to you do ye also to them. And We
are going to more fully understand
the language of the great Jefferson
where he says that all men are
created equal, and are endowed b!
their creator with certain inalienabI
rights, among which are life, libert!
and the pursuit Of happiness.
II am optimistic enough to believe
that the time Is coming when mel
will get back to the ideal intended
by the Creator in the beginning. |
will be, however, through a process
Of right teaching We should b.

to make this country Of ours what I
