started and could be seen plainly from
various parts OF the city. Returning
then he nosed around Lake Cooper
about fifty feet above the water,
swoopfng down over q motorboat
icoursing through the water and ap-
preached the dam and power house.
The machine is OF the biplane type
and carries boat attached to It SO
that it can be landed on the water.
It has powerful engine and could be
heard humming by the spectators.
Some of the spectators debated as to
whether they should ask for ride at
l$5 per minute while others thought
that they should be paid that to get
In the boat.
The engines worked beautifully this
morning, and with still day and clear
surface on Lake Cooper Janus had
no trouble In making his flights.
The aviator Is sure to attract great
crowds during his exhibition here this
afternoon and tomorrow. The fight
itself is worth seeing, but the beauti-
full manner In which he rises from the
water is most attractive.
