flying machine
TO SOAR LIKE 3IF.O
Recently in this column In com
menting upon the probability of a
practical, economical helicopter :.a
flying machine wi»h moving wings
or planes) being U.nally achieved
It was said that in any event the
efforts of inventions wore likely to
result in a new type of flying ma
chine. It la of interest that experi
ments have been made wlin a uew
machine, which Inovlves the heli
copter principle in so far 113 a de
parture has been made from tiie
rigid planes of th-j present instru
ment. Instead of fixed planes,
which depend upon speed alone for
their lifting power, the no* typo
is equipped with elastic wiaga sub
ject to periodical motion operated
upon the principle, by which a bird
wings its way through tho air. As
is well known a bird rises from the
ground by flapping its wings and
propels itself by a similar motion
of its hirged planes. There is mi
mystery us regards the operating
cause, both as to Invitation and con
tinued flig .t of the bird, for the at
mosphere is a gas. Is material, and
therefore offers teslstance. The
downward movement of its wings
compresses the mass of air under
neath, producing tension, or resist
ance, by these quick movements up
on this siedium. Similarly the
new device Is so constructed that
its wings can be made to flap auto
matically by an adjustment of Its
motive power and mechumsm.
In order to better adjust the ma
chine to requirements, the wings
are made hollow, so that they ran
be inflated and partly deflated at |
the will of the operator. Such I
buoyancy is at once gained by the J
jerking of the flexible wing of 'he
machine, it Is claimed.'that It can
rise without a running start and
land without any runout. Two pro
pellors are included in the equip
ment as auxiliaries to assist tn se
curing this advantage it: rising and
descending.
It is asserted by the Inver.ter that
hij devfee secures 1 .treat savin*:

Impressions of
the North
By MABEL FIELD
' During the tourist seaaon we meet
many people rroni the Stntes, and
some- put their impressions of their
trip and of the North In written
form. Those of exceptional n.eiit we
like to print. The following *hort
lotler Is of that class.—Ed.
The spirit of adventure haj> teen
in the air. and the wander lust has
seized hold of man} people this sea
son. From East, West, North and
South, travelers have come to
breathe the Alaskan atmosphere, and
confirm their opinions of this un
known land. Many tourists have been
obliged to change their minds on
some points, as tin* universal court
esy and interest" of officials and em
ployees of the Canadian Pacific rail
way and steamship lines, and also
of the White Pass and Yukon trains
and boats could not be excelled.
Especially was this noticable at
crowded terminals, in the efficient
way In which passengers and bag
gage were handled—the team work
among train men and boat crews be
ing much in evidence.
Nothing that could be done to add
10 the comfort or happiness of tour
ists lias been omitted or overlooked,
and if disappointment or dissatisfac
tion with the journey arose, it must
have come from the spirit of the
traveler rather than from outside in
fluences.
While the trip through the "In
side Passage" was one of beauty and
delight [most of the way. if one can
forget the few hours enjoyed (?) b\
the miseries of seasickness crossing
OueenChariotte Sound 1 the awe. rev
erence. and worship inspired by tho
sail down the Yukon even exceeded
the former feelings.
Embarking on the quiet Sabbath
evening, the words of the Psalmist
kept coming into mind,—
"The heavens deilare the glory of
God and the firmament showeih His
handiwork." "I will lift uj> mine
eyes unto the hills from whence
comelh my help. My help cometh
from the Lord who made heaven and
earth," for here no hand of man had
marked the way, tsd the finger of
the Creator was over all. The ma
jesty, the grandeur, the stillness of
the scene brought back some one's
exclamation. "Nature is unmarred by
the hand of man. and the vast soli
tude is impressive."
Robert Service, the "Bard of the
North." has fittingly described the
scene in his lines fiom "The Spell of
the Yukon."—
"It's the great, big, broad land way
up yonder.
It's the forests where silence has
lease:
It's the beauty that thrills me with
wonder.
It's the stillness that fills me with
peace."
Or in Joaquin Miller's description
of" Chilkoot Pass" is the same sen
timent voiced;—
"Say, have you read by the North
ern Lights
Such sermons as never men say?
Have you'sat and sat with the mid
nights
That sit and that sit all day?
Have you heard the silence—the
room—
The glory of God in the gloom?"
The atmosphere of the North is
shown by the genuine hospitality,
the universal good nature and will
ingness to give any information
which might be of any value to the
traveler.
While speaking of natural beaut
ies, the wonderful (lower gardens of
Skagway must not be omitted, as
well as the many, many varieties of
gorgeous and exquisite wild (lowers
nature has planted all along the way
to add their charm to the view. 'Tis
almost impossible to believe they
could grow In this Northland and if
we had not seen them with our own
eyes, we could scarcely be convinced.
Nothing but words of praise can
come for this trip and 'twill linger
in memory for years to come.
"PLAIN*, I'XVARMSHEO TRl'TIl"
A good suggpgtic-n for promoters
in other parts.—ICd.
Victoria Colonist: On its part, the
government cannot impress too
strongly on the agent-general the
advisability, in all Lis statements re
specting British Columbia, of telling
the plain, unvarnshed truth devoid
in every sense of embellishments.
Private companies seeking to sell
lands in this province have obviouslv
not adhered to truthful statements
These companies appear to avoid
telling prospective purchasers of land
anything about the difficulties which
may be encounterec*. In the majority
of cases they are more concerned
about selling the laud than about
promoting settlement.

Thu I* a picture ot joon ooepherd)
of Troop 6, Williamsport, Pa. He ii|
a typical Eagle scout—the rank to I
which the majority of boy ecoutl a*. I
pi re.
A GAME SCOUT
Charles Mnrrav. an East side boy.
wanted to he a scoot, hut his parents
objected. particularly the father, think
ing. despite all the boy'* explanations,
that It was a military movement.
Then came a sad day when Charles
wag run over End brought to a bo»
pital. believed to he dylnjs. In order
to please his son, the fattier promised
to let him be n scout tf he got well.
The boy suffered a punctured lung
which began to heal, and as be lay In
bed last winter he studied the scout
handbook with might and main so as I
to get ready to be a tenderfoot scout
as soon as he is up and about again.
A member of the Horace Munn troop
Is teaching him all the scouting he
can and the troop is about to make
the Invalid an associate scout The
doctor has said that young Murray
must practically Uve out of doors nest
summer and the boy thinks that that
Is the best possible chance for him
to practice scouting.
SCOUT THE FAMILY COOK
The romp director at the Pasadena
(California) council camp recentlj
sampled some biscuits so superior that
he asked the scout who offered them
to him whether the boy's mother had
baked the»i. "I made them mvdfelf
right here at camp over an open (Ire.
I do all the cooking at home." Tills
latter rather unusual bit of Informa
tlon led the camp director to ask more
questions and lie learned that the boy's
father and mother were both dead and
that he and his sister lived with hlij
ninety-year-old grandmother and an In-1
valid aunt. "My sister has been sick
recently, so I do all the cooking," thf
scout .summed up the situation.
BLIND SCOUTS WIN HONORS
In farlbault, Ml Jin., they have a
troop of blind scouts which Is doing
phenomenal work not only In scouting
but In other ways. Twice In succes
sion this troop has carried off the
trophy for making the best showing
In an efficiency contest and three boys
of the troop, Walter l.itBelle, Clarence
Peterson and Arthur Mitchell, won
prizes In the Humane society essay
contest on the subject of "Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals." Another blind
scout. Richard Gustafson, also won
honorable mention.
ATTENTION! PARENTS
Not long ago a pathetic letter came
Into the national headquarters of th«
Boy Scouts of America from a scout,
expressing complete discouragement.
Although he loved the Roy Scouts of
America and thought It the "best or
ganization Whys can join," the writer
said lie had completely failed as a
scout. A'litl why? Because his "folks"
made fun of semiring and all he tried
to do ;is a scout, until, "being human,"
he "gave up." Where was the failure? i
