ably local thundershowers Sunday.
Monday partly cloudy with somewhat
lower temperature: light 10 moderate
variable winds.
Warm weather continued during Sat

in western districts, readings BENG ~
degrees or more below normal IN the

the southern portion of the great iake

Richardson Hydro-seroplane Will Not
Attempt to Fly Until Next
Week.

No attempt to actually fly the
Richardson hydro-aeroplane will be
tried this week although experiment
tai runs will be made up and down
the river and the surface OF the wa
ter may be left for few feet IN
Jumps which, the big machine Will
make when it is driven at full froce
by its powerful engines. A. S. Rich
ardson said today that the operation
of his machine, presenting so many
novel features in air-ship construc-
ton, required a considerable number
of experiments before sustained
flight was attempted. The action OF
the lifting planes, the sustaining
planes and the rudders all had to be
carefully studied out as there was no
available data upon which to work.
A second trial was made of the
craft yesterday afternoon, and 1t
performed more smoothly IMAM III
the mornings run. The engines
worked more evenly and the plane
skinned along the surface of the wa
ter at a speed Of thirty miles an
hour During the afternoon the key
oin which holds the rear propeller
70 the shaft was sheared off, and it
was necessary to tow the ship into
it's berth in order that a new pin
could be fitted.
The machine will be taken out
again late this afternoon for another
trial. In yesterdays preliminary
test the machine and its six opera
tors weighed approximately 5000
pounds.
