With semi-official reports tabulated

81 ballots in favor of the league 5
proposed constitutional amendment re-
moving the debt limit. The gap between
the league vote and the necessary ma

as the secretary of states tabulatiOn is
based on the total vote on governor,
it is probable that the lead which the

awning on the sidewalk, the bright
glitter of the sun in the streets, the
clatter of the fiacres over the rough

to Bots Fleuri in the afternoon; the

the spectacle at midday at Ste. Gu

the exhibition of flying, the Franco

had been in progress all that week.
We had not gone, since we had COM
Portable seats in the belvidere of our
own house and much finer view
than we could have in the stands
at Stocked without the contact with
that crowd. A much finer view in
deed. Far over the waving tops of
the trees we could see Brussels ly-
ing in the plain, the great bulk of
the buildings at the Cinquantenaire,
the pale white mass of the Palais de
Justice and amidst the domes and
towers, if one knew where to look
and peered sharply enough, the deli
cate spire of the Hotel de Vile, a
slender, silvery needle in the dis
lance. And looking to the north
there was the tower of the Cathedral
of Malines; the lovely panorama OF
the Brabant plain was spread before
us; one might imagine that one saw
the lowlands of Flanders over the
vague horizon to the west.
Every afternoon we had gone up
there and watched the airplanes, in
utter grace rise and soar and dip
and dive and rise again in their
amazing evolutions. Olieslager, the
best of the Belgian flyers, was there,
and Pegoud, the great Frenchman,

that serious triumph of science and
human will.
After tea, nellie and l went for
walk We went out the Chaussee de
Malines toward the little village of
Wesenbeek, where there was a
Flemish Kermesse, that Verhaeren
might have described or Teniers
painted. AS we were coming back
the hot day turned excessively sultry;
ominous black clouds were piling in
the west, a storm was coming up.
Just as we turned in the little road
that led to Bots Fleuri the biplane
with the woman of the parachute
arose in the lowering sky; it paused
moment over the trees. A bevy of
Flemish peasant children were
pointing excitedly upward and cry
ing:
"vlieg machine! vlieg machine!"
("Flying machine! Flying ma
chine!"O
"Regardez-la" 1 said ("Watch!"
1 said)..
'Mais mont" said Nellie, turning
away. "Je maine pas ces histories
la" ooh. no! l don't like that
kind of thing"
She gave a nervous shudder and
impulsively covered her face with
her hands. There was something of
presentment in the movement, and
in the moment, looked; the biplane
shot suddenly down behind the trees.
We reached the house a moment
later and the storm broke, an cleo
trical storm of almost tropical vio-
lence. Half an hour later Joseph
came to me with an excited face and
said:

at that dizzy altitude, poise, hang
motionless and still in the upper
airs, mobile as the buzzards at which

1t was a sight of endless interest
and fascination, eXhilerating and in
spiring-men'S airy triumph over
the last of the intractable elements
with which he had been struggling
for ages, the apotheosis of human
aspiration, with implications of
beauty beyond the wings of the
imagination. My mind would go
back to the Ohio town, so near to
which my father was born. l could
remember the early experiments of
the brothers Wright, working with
Ipersevering patience to realize their
ideal, in the midst of provincial
scepticism. They used to call them
1.-The Crazy Wrights," and one old
man had said to one of them:
my boy, no one will ever invent
machine that will fly; and if any
one does he won't come from Day
ton"
And now their dream had come
true, this lovely reality there before
my eyes above the Brabant plain!
One of these evenings, calm and
still, in transparent sky, pretty
thing had occurred. After Oliesla-
ger and Pegoud had performed their
miracles, three swallows flew up be-
fore us, and seemed in the foreshort-
ened perspective to take the very
places in the luminous heavens the
larger human birds had just quilted;
they, too. mounted in spirals even
more graceful. they paused and
poised on delicate wing, and then
they dived. and trembled there in
the soft clear air, turning over and
over. looping the loop not six but
dozens of times, just as though they
this thing should be done"-the
prettiest performance one could i'm
agine. The servants had come up
to the roof to watch the spectacle
and when the birds had done, and
flown away, Colette said:
"Maintenant, Monster lie Ministre,

('Now, sir, the birds say that only
they know how to do this stunt, and
