. Too Heavy to Fly With Wings

1T HfO1II tIIe NeW fOfk Press
 Ma'hematicians have calculated out that man Is too heavy ever to be su- tained in air by the power of his ow, muscles, no matter how large the wings are which he fastens to his body. The weight limit is probably approached bv the largest birds. such as the Australian crane which still flies, although 1t weighs apout 70 pounds. The ostrich long rro gave up all hope of winging it's way through the air. An aeroplane can he oui't' say the experts. which will sustain man ana use but three horse power. but as the best athletes can exact o,lv maximum fabout two horse power f,r lS seconds at time. 1t is improbable that mans dream of flying as do the great birds Of the air will ever be realized-he VIII always be dependent on a machine.

WHEAT Is UNDER . SELLING PRESSURE Close Heavy and Under Pre- vious Night-Outcome
 Is Varied

Chicago, September e-The wheat \ market today was under much selling pressure. The close was heavy at 2ls @3c under last night. Corn showed q net loss. of ssG11sc and oats of M@ ssc to Ac. In provisions the outcome varied from unchanged to decline of 25c
 Wheat speculators appeared to be most impressed by the enlargement of 13,324,e00 bushels in the available stock of the United States and Canada as compared with 10,1se,J00 bushels 8 week ago. Next to nothing was heard of export business in wheat.
 Corn prices were handicapped by the downturn in wheat and by prospects of a yield exceeding former estimates
 Sympathy with the weakness of oth : CT cereals carried down oats.
 Active demand from the seaboard formed only part offset.
 Provisions sagged from the start. The blame was laid chiefly to the de- scent of values for grain and hogs
