Self-Auiating;
Flying by Ones Bootst,'ops
From Tribune Paris Bureau.
m AR1S, Aug. 24-Can man lift himself
= b., his boot 81 rars . uc hut :.

DARIS, Aug. 24.-Can 3 man lift himself
by his bootstraps? He cannot-but it
seems that he can lift himself and fly
by means Of power generated by his own
physical action.
The newspapers are talking of the exploit
Of Poulain, an aviator recently demobilized
who was famous cyclst before the war
In machine called an "aviette" Poulain
is said to have lifted himself and to have
flown some twelve yards.
An "avette" is described as a sort Of
winged bicycle, having motive force save
that set up by the pedalling Of the rider.
On such a machine Poulain pcdalled swiftly
over fiat space, lifted gently into the air,
and still pedalling furously, tloated serenelv
for twelve yards, before coming unharmed
to earth. Only one or two friends were pres
ent and the exploit cannot yet be regarded
"official."
The idea Of the "s,viette" is not now. Men
were working on it before the war. and so
interested had the we'll known firm Of
Peugeot become that it had established a
prize of 10000 francs for him who first
amounted on machine, shall by his mus
cular action alone and over a perfectly fiat
surface have covered twelve metres going
and coming without touching EARTH
Pouain's unofficial exploit has set tongues
wagging and now there is current a story
OF a Frenchman who has invented a mar
vellous contraption whercon any one able
to ride a bicycle will be able to lift himself
two, three, four, ten, or even twelve metres
above the earth, and to move through the air
with no more effort than cycling ordinarily
demands, and for such time as his
strength shall last.
France is the land of wonderful stories
and the war has developed an aptitude
already existent, but this last is difficult to
swallow Nevertheless, there are some who
swallow it-hook, bait and sinker-and who
darkly say that before the year has seen
its close the world will have been startled
by this invention, which means f1ynr for
everybody.

ated from training school, and had to bor-
row the money to do it. 1 have been in
hook ever since.
The Mayor and Police Commissioner are
reported to be in favor of substantial
increase in the salaries of members of the
department over the rank of patrolman, but
what about the patrolmen themselves? They
are the backbone Of the department and
always the least thought of.
