Some OF the leading aviators are agreed
that it will be possible, with a
properly constructed hydro aeroplane,
to cross the Atlantic ocean. It's pleas
ing picture that this suggestion brings
up in the mind. On some bright June
morning, healthy young airman, "foot.
loose and Free" starts out to wing his
way across the trackless waste OF waters.
League after league be covers at terrific
speed, his engine never missing stroke
until the chalk cliffs of England are
passed, and duly authOrized) landing
is made on the sacred British soil. Clio
rious, isn't ii! But the real picture is of a
different color. There must be a line OF
vessels stationed al points along the
route, where the aviator may descend
and renew his supply of fuel; and while
the 'actual time of fight" may be some
thing almost astounding, the elapsed
time" from start TO finish will be ma
terislly longer. As for the cost Of get
ting one man across the ocean by this
mesns-if he should get across-that
would probably compare favorsbly with
the cost of running an ocean liner for the
trip.

United States senators will hereafter
be elected directly by the people, the
amendment TO the constitution Of the
United States to that effect having been
ratified last week by the Connecticut
legislature. This was the thirty-sixth
state to ratify the amendment, making
three-fourths of the total number, and
the seventeenth amendment thus be-
comes operative. The change has been
more or less sgitsted for three-quarters

suit. Now that it is an actuality, II
seems TO be generally approved.

to that effect which have been cir
culated today are without foundation.
MIR. Lucas plaps.-however. to make
application to the board of supervisors
for the appointment of second as
sistant prosecuting attorney during the
period of the present strike. With the
cases already started and others which
are contemplated as direct result OF
the strike, IL is estimated there will
be fiftv prosecutions in progress in
this county at almost the same time.
In addition the September term OF
circuit court will open on Sept. ,. and
4 will be necessary for the prosecutor
and his assistants to prepare for the
trial Of the cases begun before the
strike It seems almost impossible that
this work can he attended to without
further assistance for the prosecptor.
Attorney W 4. Burritt Of Hancock has
been suggested as a possible assist
ant for the prosecutor.
The firm of LeGendre and Driscoll,
