EDISON ON FLYING
Any opinion of Thomas A.
Edison, the great inventor, is of
considerable interest. His
Opinion in regard to the areo
plane, or flying machine, is of
particular interest. He says;
" My criticism of the aeroplane
type of flying machine," said
Mr. Edison, "is that it is a
machine for sports. The flying
problem now consists 01 75 perf
cent machine and 25 per cent
man. That's not right. The
commercially successful flying
machine must be a device that
any-man of intelligence can learn
to operate within a reasonable
time; and, having learned, the
performance of the machine
" must be certain, sure. Little or
nothing must be left to the
peculiar . skill of the operator.
And it must not be a machine
( that can go out only when the
' wind is just so. It must ,, be a
machine that can go out when
the time table says it should- go
the earth. The air offers com
paratively little resistance. Put
the power into a' machine and
you can get almost" any speed
you want. But while the flying
machine will be very fast, it will
never be a great weight carrier.
It will be used for mails, but not
for freight."
' Harriman does not weigh more
than two large mail . sacks, so I
asked Edison what Harriman
would be likely to do ten years
hence if, while in San Francisco,
he desired to reach the .Last m
the shortest possible time, as he
did in Mav 1906. when he
came through on a special train
in 71 hours and 27 minuts.
He would probably take a
flying' machine," he replied,
"and come home in thirty hours.
He could do it. The flying ma
chine is going to be used for pas
senger business. Trains, will
continue to carry the bulk of the
traffic,, but ten years from now,
if a man wants to go in a hurry
and dan pay the price, he will go
through the air. Nor will he be
in any more danger than if he
were travelling on a train. He
may be killed, just as one may
be killed on a railroad, but he
will be in no great danger. We
put fenders on street cars to pre
vent tTTem from killing pedes
trians, and in the same manner
we will equip flying machines
with a safety device, by means
of which they will slowly descend
to the -ground in the event of any
accident to the machinery. . The
flying mAchine need not be es
pecially dangerous to human life,
and will not be.' f .
cond week had saved enough to
buy a waistcoat. After one
month they appeared before
their respective employers clad
in new . clothes and told them
with imposing self-confidence
that the organization of their
business was defective and re
quired reorganization- A year
later the boy has become a part
ner, in two years he has out
stripped the former boss in
wealth, and a year later he has
grown smart enough to kill off
the benefactor of other days.
All American millionaires arise
at 3 in the morning', eat and
drink almost nothing, cease their
work at midnight and allow
only those to live whom they
think are good enough to invite.
Every dollar king founds a uni
versity, an opera, a museum or a
picture gallery. Life becomes a
burden to them when there are
no more competitors in their
branch worthy of destruction
Then they lie down and die of
ennui,

HARRY TO BE A LITERATY MAN.
"Harry Thaw's purpose to be
a' great literary man if -he gets
out of Matteawan is most com
mendable. Literature is a
noble calling. Some of the
greatest men in history have
been literary men," says the
St." Louis Post-Despatch,
i ITT ,1.1.. .
snowing tnat literature is a
wide field, Harry ., wisely makes
preparations adequate to all pos
sible demands. It ' is- said ' that
$25,000 has been spent fitting up
his den where he is to think arid
res-ardlnss of wpnthpr renditions J write and work. In this den are
"I don't believe the aeroplane
will ever measure up to these
requirements. I think the
principle upon which it .is built
is wrong. Too much power - is
necessary to sustain it. - An
enormous amout of force is v re-;
quired to drive an inclined plane
against the air so rapidly that it
ill i 1
He was asked to give his idea
of what a flying machine should
.-. "If I were ro build , a flying
machine," he replied, "I would
plan to sustain it by means of a
number of rapidly revolving in
clined planes, the effect of which
would be to raise the machine
by compressing the air between
the planes snd the earth. Such
a machine would rise from the
ground as a bird rises. " Then I
would drive the machine ahead
' with a propeller."
. "Has your plan ever been
tried?" .
: "O, yes. I read in the, news
papers only the other day that
somebody had succeeded in fly
ing eight miles with such a ma
chine. I don't know who the
man was."
Then we went back to Edison's
prophecy that within ten years
the United States . government
would be usying flying machines
to carry mails. I asked him how
V big he thought such machines
would be.
- : "They'll be small," he replied,
"just as small as they can be
and do the business. The
smaller they are the less resis
tance they will offer to the air.
But they will have powerful
engines and will go at great
speed,"'
"How great?" r
"Oh, 100 miles an hour at any
rate. Eventually tney . wm go a
- greal deal faster. Traveling in
the air is not like traveling on
several thousand books of refer
ence, all chosen by .. Harry him
self, so that, should he be in th e
mood one day to write a treatise
on political economy, he will
have everything he needs right
at hand. Or should he be in
the mood to write a great
tragedy like those of. Sophocles
or Shakspeare, he will have the
works of all tragic authors on
the'shelves before him. .And by
glancing through them for a few
minutes he will perceive how
they did it. Then he will do
likewise, and literature will be
enriched thereby and Bernard
Shaw will stop boasting.
There are unlimited possibilities
for a young man who goes at
literature in this way. He can
be novelist, sociologist, play
wright, essayist, philosopher, be
cause in his library all these de
partments of literature are re
presented.: . .
But in the description of
Harry's den . and. library we
miss two useful. books which he
can hardly do without a gram
mar and a spelling book. A
literary man must know liow to
spell and parse. If these two
books are not already on the
shelf we hope Harry will not
omit to buy them before he be
gins to be a great literary man.

Great Doings in Poultry.
The poultry pavilion is enlarg
ed to the extent 01 an annex
42x75 feet, and the entire struct
ure is equipped with new coops
for the feathered beauties that
will be entered for the ribbons
and premiums. The superintenr
dent of this department is Prof.
James Dryden, of the poultry
husbandry department of the
Oregon Agricultural College. He
is putting forth special efforts to
make this exhibition of poultry
the largest and most attractive
in the history of the state fair.
A section of the poultry building
annex will be used for the Scotch
Collie dog department. , .
The dairy department will be
looked "after by Paul V. Maris,
one of the deputies to the state
dairy . commissioner.' He 'will
have a display of dairy products
the like of which has never been
seen on . the fair grounds, -and
there will be a large display of
dairy utensils by various dairy
supply houses in the Pacific
Northwest. " '
Good Races. .. ,. J
The racing at the fair will be
of the best sort, as many horses
of extraordinary speed have been
entered for the rich purses that
will be hung up. The race course
is in splendid condition for record
breaking events. x v
There will be special amuse
ment features during the day
and evening hours, all of which
are sure to attract many farmers
and agriculturists who may desire
to take a short vacation . at-this
time of the year.

case was plain enough,
morning Justice Porter,
Ballard's specific promise to com
pletely quit the business and all
connections with it placed the
fine at the minimum. Mrs. Bal
lard was present with her little
child. Ballard says he can raise
the money.
At press time he had not secur
ed it and is in jail.
In the case of Clyde Miller,
upon the recommendation of the
deputy district attorney, and up
on the statement that he will re
turn to his father s farm at
Crabtrse, the fine was placed at
the minimum. Lawyer Wright
stated that the business ought to
be stopped and if his clients ever
come up again they ought to be
given a heavy fine, but asked for
leniency on account of the men's
promises and their families.
If there are others violating
the law they should take
warning, it s a mignty poor
business and no mistake,

Council "Dad" Irvine is swearing by
Taft prosperity. He has been digging
into his potato patch recently and finds
some whoppers. One brought to this
office this morning looks like a cross
between an aeroplane in flisrht and a
three legged ostrich. The specimen
weighs tnree pounds and is one of four
of like kind in a single hill. The Payne
tariff measure may have reduced some
things, but not the size of Mr. Irvine's
potatoes, hence his continued faith in
the administration.
