part in the rund table talks: Superin-
tendent w. A. Yoder, Omaha; Mr.
Burnett and Superintendent Davis

cation to manage the school affairs OF
each county, there should be county

general dissatisfaction among the
school boards of the state as to the
time OF holding the state meeting
they contending that it makes two

Missouri Wet by
Voters of st. Louis

ST. Louis, Nov. l0-State wide pro-
hibition was defeated in Missouri last
Tuesday by an overwhelming vote.
Returns from more than half the

the amendment. The majority against
prohibition in St. Louis was $4,000
The majority for prohibition in the
1853 precincts outside Of St. Louis

San Francisco, Nov. i0.-California
politicians settled down tonight to
prepare for vigilant surveillance OF
the semi-official count of the state by
county clerks and the final count by
the secretary of state. All future
proceedings, leaders of both parties
agreed, will hinge upon what de-
velops in these counts. At 6 o'clock
tonight Wilson led in the state by
1926 votes. With eighteen precincts
missing the count stood: Hughes,
462,8l3; Wilson, 100000.
Chester H. Rowell, chairman of the
republican state central committee,
and o. K. Cushing, chairman of the
democratic state central committee
were in accord in that both agreed
the outlying precincts still to be heard
from would not make much difference
one way or the other, in the unofficial
returns.
Differ on Official Count
They differed as to the official
count, Mr.. Cushing claiming the state
and Mr., Rowell expressing doubts
and claiming a split delegation in the
electoral college. The California
delegation was split II to 2 in 1912
and was divided several times pre-
viously. Tonight the republicans ex-
pected to get three of the thirteen
delegates and perhaps more.
Legal counsel has been retained by
republicans and democrats to aid in
watching the final counts. In addi-
ton, Deputy United States marshals
and secret service men have been de-
tailed in the large counties, notably
Alameda (Oakland) with, roughly
| 100000 votes and Los Angeles with
100000 votes, on th two big tickts.

FLIGHT OF THE ALBATR0sS.
Wing Movements That a Chance Snap
With a Camera Revealed.


During the voyage of Il vessel from
British Columbia to San Francisco the
Photographic test was applied to a
long disputed point in natural history.
\ large albatruss had been following
the steamer and keeping pace with it
for several hours. and the wonder grew
among the watchers on board the ship
how the bird was able to fly SO swiftly
while apparently keeping it's wings OK
tended without tapping them. AS this
is Il common method of flight with the
albatross, the explanation used to be
offered that the bird took advantage OF
slight winds and air currents, and was
So able to glide upon what might be
called atmospheric slopes.
AS the albatross sailed alongside the
ship, about fifteen feet away, the natu-
raliSt snapped his camera at it and OBJ
tanned n photograph that astonished
him and his fellow passengers.
The photograph revealed, what no
eye had caught, the wings of the alba
trosS, each some five feet long, in the
act of making a downward stroke.
The explanation naturally suggested
was that more or less frequently the
bird must have made q stroke of this
kind with its wings, although the eve
could not detect the motion, and that

precisely the right moment.-New York

brought to a standstill a very few Sec
OndS later.
Originally the truck was sent over
board at the end Of it's run. but in
service aboard a ship under way at sea
this would be undesirable, because it
would be necessary either to stop or
slacken speed in order to haul the car
aboard even if it Were held by a line.
Clearly it would be impracticable to
abandon the truck and to hold in re-
serve any number Of them. The mo-
tive power employed for moving and
speeding up the catapult car is COM

worked by a cam the air impulse is
progressively increased upon the op-
eratlve piston or plunger which func-
tons the wire rope purchase by which

piston is in the neighborhood of one
inch for ZACH foot Of advance on the
part OF the truck, the turns of the wire

this multiplication of movement. The
air required by the catapult is supplied
from the torpedo air service of the
cruiser and at a pressure of something
IKE 3tO pounds per square inch.

T.. Al c-A:s.~ A-n.:.,~

"VEN the layman knows today
that air craft have materially
IL altered the problems OF military
strategy. He knows that they
have done this by reason of their abll-
ity to speed about aloft n to watch
with measurable safety the movements
of a foe and the distribution and kinds
of forces at his command. In short,
the aeroplane has permitted spying
from high in the air.
Just what has thus been done for
armies in the field will in the near fu-
ture be done for battle fleets or squad
rons The naval air pilot will become
an invaluable aid to an admiral in
planning how best to meet his foe or
how, if that be the wiser course, to
avoid an engagement with the enemy'S
fighting ships. All of this may sound
trite, but such is not the fact among
men familiar with the limitations i'm
posed upon naval aviation until OF late.
The Seaplane as q naval scout should
be able to operate from a moving ship
as q base, and to do this with much
the same Indifference to the state of
the weather as its fellow in the mill
tary service, starting aloft from the
ground. Otherwise its nautical useful
ness would in no way be comparable
with that so splendidly discharged by
air craft in the army. The stumbling
block has been very largely the sea
planes inability to get a start from
rough waters. The sturdieSl of them
are able to land upon something of q
troubled sea, but their p%ontoons do NOT
permit them to gain sufficient speed
under those circumstances TO insure
the take-off for a flight. Therefore,
even though they might be put over
board. safely in the lee of a ship, it
has not been possible, except under
the most favorable condition Of the
water, to get them away in flight.
But this difficulty has been sur
mounted here. thanks to the initial
work Of Captain Washington I. Cham
bers, U. S. n. who gave US the idea
of a catapult launching apparatus TO,
naval air craft. AS Il practical naval
man this officer realized that no fight
ing ship could afford to be eucumbered
with long launching platforms such us
were tried first here and then expert
mented with abroad. He knew tina;
space must be economical and til.
sweep of guns uninterrupted. There.
fore he conceived a short run catu.
putting railway that could be quickly
erected and just as rapidly disman-
tied and stored away. His first ap.
paratus was tested over three years
ago at the Washington navy yard, and
as an outcome of those promising e.
periments a new machine was design
