Sunday services will be resumed
next Sunday as may be seen by the

to build an aerial sled"
Consequently Mr.. Keith and viii
liam Heckethorn, thesmOving gen.
ius in the machine shop of the H.
b. garage, constructed a propeller
and installed u Ford auto engine
on an imprOvised sled to try it out.
The aerial sled was found to be
practical in the first test last Sun.

that more power had to, be deevl
oped to make the vehicle Of prac.
tical utility in carrying the mail. {
TO Obtain the desired result, the
auto engine was geared up to about
double the revolutions necessary in
the driving of a car After the gear
ing had been changed the engine
was tested out Sunday afternoon
without being attached to the pro.
peller, when the flywiieel Of the en-
gine, in which there afterwards ap-
peared to be flaw, went to pies
es, q large fragment of the wheel
going through the ceiling and roof
of the machineshop Another
piece of iron went through the east
side of the shop.
The miraculous part of the ex-
pertinent was that no one was hurt,
though nearly dozen spectators
were standing about watching the
work.
The development of the sled is
now temporarily delayed, pending
the receipt OF more information
relative to the scientific construc-
tion of propellers. However, both
Mr.. Hcckethorn and Mr.. Keith are
enthusiastic over the ultimate re-
suit OF their efforts. Meanwhile and
owing to still further bad snow fall
and bad weather the HOlly-Lam-
port mail route is still tied up.
