MR.. OLE HANSEN

Norway, July 81, 1854. In 1882 he
was united in marriage to Malene
Wallin. Three children came to
bless this union, all of whom pre-
ceded their father in death. In 1887
he brought his family to this country,
locating in Morris, ILL.,, where they
lived until about 25 years ago, when
they came to this community, locating
on their farm west of town, where
they have since resided.
Mr.. Hansen has been practically

has borne this misfortune bravely,
living quiet, peaceful life. About

sumption, which disease caused his
death, May 18th, 1927.

He also paid his respects to

To Perfect Air Route
To Europe, Says Byrd
BY International News Service

NEW YORK. July 1S.-Perfec-
/ ton OF transatlantic air voyages
will take ten years. for there must
be many more pioneering flights to
chart safe air lanes, Commander
Richard E. Byrd said today on his
return to New York.
Sitting in the Presidential suite
on the Leviathan, he told news
papermen of the possibilities of
aviation and of the hazardous flight
! made by the monoplane America.
I'VE obtained more scientific data
by flying through storms than if
we had experienced fine weather"
| he said. We We're surprised. how
ever, when we struck a storm area
over France.
THE outstanding high light of
our flight, i believe, is the fact
that l am convinced that a plane
can stand against anything and
come through all right.
But TO date the transa tlantic
air lanes have not been charted
sufficiently and other filters will be
needed to make observa tons before
regular trips are possible
Bigger Planes Needed
at will take 10 years. be-
lieve. to actually perfect transat-
lantic flying. There must be larger
planes and it will be necessary to
have them multi-motored. Then, no
storm will be able to stop the plane
of the future.

AT present. America is behind

as it's latest outburst flooded the
entire bottom of it's -mile-around

Three fountains of fire spurted up

where a few hours earlier there had
been four. The increasing quantity
If lava apparently had smothered one.
Arousing itself from a long slumber
with a warning earthquake, the vol
cano began its activity early yes
terday. Thirty minutes after the
quake the flow of lava started with a
roar from three erupting cones until
the fiery liquid finally covered the
bottom of the pit.
Despite the fact that Pele, the
Goddess of Halemaumau, is pledged,
according to native mythology. never
to send lava flow across Hilo. the
natives cast many offerings into the
pit to remind her of her promise.
From their places of observation
under the tree ferns back from the
barren edge of the pit they advanced
to hurl food and ohelo berries into
the molten flow.
