THIS YEAR'S FLYING MACHINE MEANS 1
JUMP FORWARD LIKE A
THOUSAND (EARS
Even the children have taken to
studying aeronautic*, branches of a
'?Junior aero club" are being founded in
many cities and towns of the United
States under the encouragement of the
Aero club of the United States, and
nation*! and international contests
are being inaugurated. A "dying
machine," the dream of nearly all if
not "all the ages" will be realized in
the year of 1908? mark that? and by
the opining of thj biff show at Seattle
we will all have become so accustomed
to seeing the queer things moving
about in the air that we will forget
that this wonderful fact was so lately
an impossible dream.
Won't it be "perfectly lovely" to,
like the wind, go whjre we listeth? No
question of good or oad roals? no
getting snow bound, like the automo
bilists. New York to Pari*, east or
west, will be a mere mitter of srivin?
orders, as ore says to the man on the
box afterthe theatre, "the Fifth Aven
ue" or "home."
But this reference to this alwrys-in
terestin? subject is made to call atten
tion to what stress is laid upon this
next great invention, upon whioh
is to be ushered in a new era in the
ecoaomics of the world and upon which
we are fairly on the threshold? the
stress that is laid upon the dying ma
chine as an engine of WAR, an instru
ment of death. Is it not amazing how
men's thoughts in this humane present
are still led ao persistently by the lust
o( a laughter?
Now think of the other uses of the
dying machine for just a momont.
How completely and literally the poor
little earth will lie at the feet of man,
once he can fly; how utterly? not
through the agency of physical force
but of mind? It must aoknowlcdge itself
subjugated; giving over in one day the
ten thousand secrets it has boarded a
million years, and laughed at men's
impotent attempts at filching. The
pole, with its barriers of ice, will be
come the playground of children each
midsummer. That mystery of all "re
oorded time, the aouroe of the Nile,
will be traced as definitely on the map
as the margins of Lynn canal. The re
cesses and remoten -sses of darkest Af
rica will be as familiar as the streets of
New York; the mysteries that are sup
posed to reside in the fastnesses of the
Himalayas will be dispelled like the
fog so far as those fastnesses have tc do
with their concealment, and Thibet
will have become a mere port of call.
In view of the vast accomplishment
for peace, bringing the whole surface of
the glob; uoder'the eye anil accessible
for the habitation and exploitation of
men, ho* pitiful that man should think
of any other use of the dying machine.
Men excuse their thinking of it as a
killing machine by saying that such
adaptation moans p ace through fear of
going to war. And how ridiculous
this, since all nations will hive dying
machines and their employment in war
means ojly a transfer of the scene of
slaughter from the earth to the sky,
or a chancre in the methods of destruc
tion whereby more of it can be done In
shorter time.
Bnt this is true, that the flying ma
chine means a bound forward in the
scheme of earth's progress, like waking
up in the year 2908.
That section 7 of the anti-trust act,
awarding to the complain int three
1 times the amount of damage sustainei
by a combination In restraint of inter
state trade can be lnvo'ced to prevent a
boycott by organized labor is held by tbe
Supreme Court of the United States in
a rcoeot dociaion, the case being Loo wo
& Co., bat manufacture**, of Danbury,
Conn , vs. Martin Lawlor anil two
hundred members of the United Hatt
ers' Union of that city. The decision
of the court was anounced by Chief
Justice Fuller and reyersad tho holding
of a United Statea circuit court of
appeals. The opinion of the court was
unanimous, and no dissendlng view
was presented.
Good pay ha* been found of lato on
Moose creek, a tributary of Fortymile.
Moose creek has been worked for a
long timy, particularly below the
boundary, and much good pay has been
! found there.
THE BROKEN VASE
Tbe vase in which this flower died
Was cracked by just a gentle lap
From someono'a fan, who brushed be
side;
No sound betrayed the slight mishap.
The little wound, past hope of cure,
Eating the crystal day by day,
Invisible, and still and sure,
Around the bowl has made its way.
; And one by one. to shrink and dry,
I The ebbin? drops the flower forsake;
And no one knows ther reason .vhv;
But touch it not, or it will break!
; Sometimes the hand that most is dear
Will touch the heart In careless wise;
] The small wound widens year on year,
I And love's rare flower droops and
dies.
! Still fair and whole to stranger gaze,
! It f 3el? within it burn and wake
! The thin, deep wound that Inly preys;
I Oh, touch it not, or it will break!
