AIR INSTINCT, NEED OF A GOOD AVIATOR
(Fronn Leslie's)

That an vaiator must have the lair instinct the ability to balance and land an airplane, is a foregone con clusion, but it is equally evident that
 the possession of this faculty alone will not necessarily make successful military pilot; he must have other abilities. There is a popular notion to the effect that to control the com plicated mechanism of a flying ma chine an aviator must be something of a mechanical genius. It is true that he must have the ability to understand the simple underlying principles of flying, but to go farther and lay great stress on mechanical or engineering education in selecting candidates for the aviation service would be a decid- ed mistake. On the front there are two skilled air mechanics assigned to each machine, who are kept busy look
 ing after it, and who are responsible to the under officer who commands the mechanics. If the pilot, out of :, superabundance of mechanical knowl edge, tries to tinker with the machine himself, or insists on giving detailed orders as to how the spark plugs should be cleaned, he reduces his me chanics to the status of engine wip- ei anu lHeir WOTh SHOWS II. AS far as education goes. high school poy
 is IS well equipped for piloting as an engineering graduate. From the standpoint of qualifica tions, pilots fall into at least three diff ferent classes; fighting pilots, recon
 naissance pilots. and those who, for
 want of a better term, may be called officer pilots. The nature of the work they perform varies widely and the | requirements for each category differ accordingly. For pilot de chase the | prime requisite is courage, a high form of individual bravery not found | in every man. The courage of the
 mob. as illustrated in an infantry charge is common; if man is hav- | ing cold chills he never shows it; the
 moral support of his fellows keeps him 1 going.
 The test that a fighting pilot must
 undergo is far more severe; he must 1 take all the risks of the man on the ground, and more, with nothing but
 his own nerve to depend on. If man values his life too highly he can not
 dive down through a hail of machine gun bullets and push combat to completion: clever piloting alone will
 not accomplish results. It has been
 found that only extremely young men

 On this great frozen Sahara of the north the wind never ceases to blow. It invariably radiates from the center of the ice-cap outward, except Wf< storms of unusually large proportloni sweep across the country. Such a regular thing are the winds of these regions, and so closely do they follow the rule of perpendicular | ity to the coast, that 1t is always easy to determine the direction of nearest land.
 A sudden change in the wind indi- cates the presence of large fiords, and | the crossing of a divide can be de tected by the area of calm or change able winds which prevail there, which are followed by winds blowing from the opposite direction.
 Sweeping along the most direct path | to the coast and with more or less velocity, the wind always carries with it a flying mass of snow, which, or l lSdNI1llS tliS oCtCiCo III AAN valleys or goes swirling over the cliffs

RIFLE RANGE CLUB l CLASSES FUR YEAR

{ Final results in classes of the Phoe- nix Rifle club during the year end ing Sunday, April 2S, 1918, are:
 Class A C. V. Gulley, H. C. Griswold, l.. b. La Tourette, Dr. L. Boido, W. c. Henderson. II. L. Altenburgh, John D. Wheeler, Geo. II. Woodall, w. H. Wells, H. L. Hurley, Ray P. De Mund, Colin Eagan, P. R. Singler, Geo. c. Wheater, Lebbeus Chapman, Tom Edens.
 Class B
 E. l. Henderson, W. A. Cox, r. c. McNabb, A. M. Howard, c. A. Shel- don. R. W. Brown, P. W. Landis, l. M Mason.
 Class c
 O. S. Walden, Walter Hege, G. E. Garner, W. c. Elder, r. E. Townsend, J. G. Crawford, G. 0. Galbraith, Fred Hart.
 The rating on the rest of the mem bers of the club are all in the novice class. This is so arranged so that those in charge of the ratings will be enabled to properly classify a member should it develop that he was Shooting in q class lower than his ability warranted.
 2 Beginners are classified as noVices and it is seldom a member is started in a higher class.
 The reason for the few names ir classes E and c is that a new name is added in each class each month and there are the same number oi graduates each months, so that the plumber of class B and c men re- main tho same all the time.
 The class A men are increasing their total one man a month by tn, saonthly graduation of one man, as only one man can graduate a montl in each class. There were a number of the older shots who started 1T class A such as C. V. Gulley, Ton Edens, l.. D. La Tourette and Dr Boido.
 Then there were q few graduate, into this class before the regular rat. ing system was started. The rest O the men in class A are there by harC work and only in this way can the, hope to become rated with the bes shots in the club.

make good fighting pilots; a man in the late 20s may be able to handle his machine as skilfully as a boy of 19, but invariably the older man is too cautious; he will not take the chances a younger man will. It is a rule in the French army that at least four fifths of the men selected for fight ing pilots shall be under 24 years, and in. both French and British armies marked preference is shown for men of IS or 20 years.
 Another requisite of fighting pilot is that he be a good shot. The only surely vulnerable part of an airplane is the body of the pilot; the machine may be riddled with bullets yet be able to continue the combat; even il one of the few vital parts of the motor is struck the pilot can usually volplane far enough to land safely be- hind his own lines.
