Ban Franoiaoo, Aug. 17. Dr. C. A.
Smith i more enthusiastic than ever
over hi Hying machine ainoe be re
ceived a telegram Wednesday from
Washington informing him that a
patent had been granted on bi device
for ailing through the air. A com
pany wa incorporated in tbi oity last
Saturday to build Smith' airship,
navigating air vessel and carrying on
a general businesa in tbem. I. J. Tru
man, president of the Columbian bank,
and George T. Garden are among the
stockholders. The attorney for the
company ii M. M. Estee.
These well-known men declare that
Smith' machine appear feasible a a
mechanical proposition, and that it is
really a most ingeniou solution of the
difficult prob'ems that have faced the
scientific aeronaut Smith himself
claim it will lift itsolf and additionul
weight, and more than that, he oan 10
ootrol it flight a to practically imi

that the airship can be lifted from the
earth and depressed at the will of the
engineer, who may also tteer hi vessel

lution like a ihip at sea.
It 1 still further claimed for tbi
wonderful invention that it can be
driven into the very teeth ot the storm.
Indeed, if all thut is olaimed for it
prove true, the longtalked-of airship
will aoon be an accomplished fact
The oompany intend to open a work

The coming Oregon Industrial Expo

ises to be a pronounced success. The
citizen of that enterprising city have
subscribed over $10,000 to carry out
the plans, whioh are now being ar

ever before. It looks already as though
every available inch of apaoe alio ted to
exhibit in the great building will be
occupied. A splendid military baud
has been organized and will be under
the leadership of Mr. G. Oechsle, late
of Gilmore' celebrated band, and a
leador and composer of great ability.
The admission price bas been fixed at
35 cents, and the same interest mani
fested iu tbe Portland fuir lust year

Counterfeiting Dollars.
Washington, Aug. 17. The secret
soi vice bureau of tho treasury depart
mont has boon requested to look into a
report of extensive counterfeiting of
United Stutes silver dolars in one of
the Central American states. The in

dollars of the state worth 47 cents, aud
ooiued them into American dollars. It
is said that 3,600,000 ot these dollars
have been shipped into this country,
where they have passed at par. The
story 1 discredited at the treasury de
partment, aud it is said it would be
impossible to ship any considerable
number of coins Into this country with
out tbe counterfeit being discovered.
If counterfeiting has been going on,
the guilty persons could be punished

Malroo, Sweden, Aug. 17. The
heler has received
1 communications from Dr. Nansen and
Lieutenant Shottansen, from the island
of Vardo. These oinuiuuioatious state
that they abandoned the Fram in the
autumn of 18'J5 and rcsorttd to ice.
i The iteamer Windward, carrying
'supplies to tho Jacksou-Uarmsworth
' expedition, picked them up near Franz
Josef laud. They expectetd that the
Fram would eventually drift to tbe
! east ooast of Greenland. Dr. Nansen
! failed to reach the pole, but he touched
: a point four degrees nearer than any
j other explorer has done.
Tbe steamer Windward took letters
for Nansen when It started to the relief
! of tbe Jackson-Uarmsworth expedition,
' as Mr. Jackson expected to find Nan
' sen, and was convinced that bis idea
' of drifting across the pole in the ice
i was impracticable. He was also con
j vinced that Nansen would return in
I the direction of Fran Josef laud.
All In (iood Health.
Vardoe, Norway, Aug. 17. Dr.
Nansen left the Fram on March 14,
181)5, in 83 deg. of north latitude. He
traversed the polar sea to a point 80:14
north latitude, situated north of the
North Siberia islands. No land wai
lighted north of 83 deg. of latitude or
thenoe to Franz Josef hind, where he
passed the winter, subsisting on bear
flesh and whale blubber.
Dr. Nunsen aud his companion! are
In the best of health. Tbe Fram li ex
pected at Vardoe or Dergeu shortly.
She stood the Ice well. There were no
sick persons aboard when Nunsen left
her.
(Dr. Fritjojo Nansen, the Norwegian
gcientist, now 80 yeur old, suilod
from ChrBtiana on Juue 24, 181)3, ou a
vovage of discovery to the arctic re
gions, aud with tbe intention of reach
ing tbe north pole, if possible. He
embarked on board the three masted
schooner Fram, which was provided '
with a mo-horsepower steam engine.
She was ot 800 tons burden, and ber
sides were so constructed as to force ail
ice meeting tbe vessel to pass under it,
thus preventing all "pinching" and
screwing.
The Fram was launched at Laurwik, 1
near Christiana, October 20, 18U3, and
the Norwegian parliumeut gave Dr.
i Nansen about 153,000 in aid of his ex
pedition. Additional funds were
forthcoming by private subscription,
including one of over $5,000 from King
Oscar.
Tbe Fram was in every way admir-
ably equipped, aud had a crow of
I twelve men, all of whom occupied tho
I cabin, which measured only thirteen
j feet square, aud which was heated by
means of an English petroleum Btove,
which consumed three liters of petro
leum a day. The Fram (forward) had
; enough fuel on board to last eight or
nine years, and she also hud a library
ot 1,000 books.
Dr. Nansen's plan was to make for
the New Siberia islands and thcuce
sail directly north until the Frum
should be imbedded iu the Ico He
propo.ed then to drift along with the
ice, following the west coast of any
land that might be met. A dispatch
was received from him at Vardien,
August 23, 18U3, written iu the Yngor
aki straits ou the aecoud day of that
montn, anuouuoiug thut the expedition
was about to sail iuto Kara sea, aud
that the Frum, so fur, hud behaved
splendidly.
Dr. Nuusen entered the university of
Chistiuna iu 1HS0, au iu 1883 went as
a passenger ou the sealing steamer VI-:
king to Denmark straits aud the east
coast of Greenland. It is believed that
this voyage laid the foundation for the
ambition of his life, namely, that ot
discovering the north pole. Ou his re
turn from Greenland he was appointed
curator of the museum at Ucrgen, aud
held thut position until 18S3, wheu he
led a small expedition to Greenland
and crossed the southern portion ot thut
country from the east const to God
bead, ou the west const, where the
party wintered, aud returned to Nor
way in June, 1 880. )
