LOVE INSPIRES RARE DICTI0N
 IN KOREAN
Ponderous Otiosity Employ ed to Woo Housemaid- Adds Some to Webster.

Los Angeles, Sept. 22.-A Korean
 youth's letter-couched in terms of
 endearment and passion that pale the
 most ardent missives from the pen of
 Madalynne Obenchain to J. Belton Kennedy, whom she is alleged to have | plotted to kill-was exhibited today by Mrs Augusta Flynn. who has just returned from a stay in Korea. The letter is one proposing mar rIage to the maid employed by Mrs Flynn, and under the Korean custom 1t was addressed to Mrs. Flynn, whose permission Is required under the Kor- can law to permit the love match to end in wedlock.
 According to Mrs. Flynn, the writer, John An Sin, is a member of a family of royal lineage and was educated in American schools at Honolulu. She declares that the Korean scholars are profuond students of the American dictionary and in an effort to express themselves, use words of many syI- fables.
 The letter containing many words found in Websters volume and some of the writer's own coinage is as fol- lows:
 Tt is with faltering penmanship that l communicate with you about a prospective proposal to your house. hold girl, Sarah. From remote time past secret passion has been firing my bosom internally with your loving girl, Sarah.
 q have travelled all channels in the magnitude of my extensive jurisdic- tion cruelty to smother the growing within my inside. But khe timid lamp of my affection, trimmed by Cupid's productive hands, still nouriShes my lovesick breast. Needless would it be for me to numerically extemporize the great conflagration that has gen. erated in my heart and head.
 During the reign of nightness my cranium has been en- tangled in thoughtful attitude of my beloved consort. Nocturnal s1umber- lessness has been the infirmity which has besieged my now loving begener- ated condition.
 My educational abilities have aban- doned, and now I cling to these lone ly stresses of your much-coveted girl like mariner shipwrecked on the rocks of love.
 'I am of lofty and original lineage and independent income, and hoping that, having debated the proposition in your girls mind, you will concur daintily corroborated in espousing Sarah praying to my tender bosom and thereby acquiring me into your friendship circle.''
 Mrs. Flynn stated she gave her con sent and that Sarah and John An Sin are living in Korean Hove cottage"

A friendly rivalry has started among the local carriers to see which will be the first to report every dwelling ped with mail receptacles or door slots.

GERMAN CONQUEST OF MOT0RLESS

 .'Motorless flight has a future; it is no. not a chimera," wrotes R. ouinton, e-Ipresident of the French Aero nautbc League, in Le Matin. 'It has been realized in nature. Certain birds employ it, and it alone. to the ex- vultures of Egypt and the eagles of the Alps fly whole days without beating a wing. They fly at a speed of thirty miles an hour and make in a day as much five hundred miles,
 The difficulty. all agree, is in learn ing to fly. Even a young bird, built to navigate in the air, hutters to the ground the first time he tries it. What, then, can you expect of man with a machine-made pair of wings?
 Some Pessirnistic.
 Among the pessimists is M. Her company. who writes, in L'Auto: 'Motorless flights made so far don't prove very much. To go up one must meet an ascendant air current. That is not flying. Today motorless flying is an attractive sport, tomor- row it may be a test for the tinesse' of a pilot, and it may finally become a means of training pilots to meet air currents. I believe that the topogra- phy of the Rhine Valley made possi- ble the German success at Wasser- kuppe.'
 T don't see any practical end to motorlesS lly1ng rom commerclal point of view" writes M. Coquelin, chief engineer of the Farman conn pany.
 'Motor1ess flying may in future more or less distant, bring us the perfecting of some minor details of aviation that now trouble us, partic- ularly concerning departure and land- ing. Otherwise don't speak to me of it's usefulness" commented another engineer. Another guarded ly admits that ''in several centuries, perhaps" something may come of it all
