CAN We Fly tho Ocean?

In Germany two aViators have re-
Gently made continuous flights that
In point of time were equal to the
flight from Newfoundland TO the
Azores. On June IS Basser. in a
Rumpler biplane with a Too horse
power engine, remained in the air for
eighteen hours and twelve minutes
and Landsman, in an Albatross mill
tary bipIane with a seventy horse
power engine, flew continuously for
twenty-one hours and forty-nine min
utes.
The distance between Newfound-
land and the Azores is LAO miles.
and a machine capable Of making
sixty miles an hour for twenty hours
would be equal to the task under
ideal conditions.
The route across the Atlantic is in
three legs. Starting from st, John s.
Newfoundland. oversee flights will
be made to the Azores, a distance OF
1,l40 miles; thence to oporto, $50
miles; and from there To Queenstown,
In Ireland, closing the Journey with a
continuous flight of $40 miles. 1t is
expected that relays of ships will be
detailed to watch for the flying men
at different stages of the route and
all vessels along the route will be re-
uuested to give aid If the necessity
should arise. 1t is probable that the
pilots will take along carrier pigeons
to notify the world of the various
stages of their progress.--Orrick

Political Situation Obscure.
At the time Of writing, the political
situation Is still aggravatingly OBJ
scure. The Greek government may
be. described as semi-satisfied with
the Turkish reply to Its protestations
and the persecution question is likely
enough to be settled automatically.
This is good so far as 1t goes, but
II does not go far enough. The porte
has never ceased to declare that II
will not recognize the award OF the
great powers in giving Mitylene and
Chios to Greece and the forthcoming
completion OF the Brazilian dread
naught Rio de Janeiro has filled the
air with rumors Of -yar. 1t would
be idle to imply that Turkey has
bought this ship with any but hos
tile object. for the purchase price

ready sparse treasury, and though the
uslessness OF dradnaughts. unless
manned by a capable personal, IL in
sufficiently recognized IN both coan-
tries, there Is much to be said In
favor of the popular Greek idea OF
settling with the Turks before the
unit leaves England.
In the event OF the Greeks obtain
ing the idaho and Mississippi the po-
s.tion would be radically altered. The
boats are slow, but heavily arnored.
and, plus great superiority in the Inn
portant matter Of personnel they
would more than restore the balance
OF sea power. Hellas desires these
ships Cor no hostile purpose, and
their eale will therefore serve to pre-
serve peace in the Orient without
the larger hattleships, II is uncertain
whether the official view that the
Greek mosquito craft can account for

vail. or whether public opinion VIII

CITY BREAKS BUILDING
RECORD I'M SIX MONTHS
Building During First Half OF 1914
is $3OO,0OO Above Last
Years Work.

BY more than $500, coo the build
ing permits issued by the board of
works for the first six months of 1914
exceed those of the first six months
of 1913. The figures exactly arc
1888. 5S4.75 for this year and $542,244
for 1913. For the month or June of
this year s120,77S was represented
by the permits issued. That figure is
nearly twice as large as the figure for
the same month of last year. which
was $64,635.
1t is predicted by prominent con-
tractors and other persons familiar
with the building activity OF the city
that the total figures for building this
year will eclipse by far all previous
years.
