F. O LYON, W. M. .. ., . .-.—......— , DEPLORABLE. Ahy argument to the contrary not- withstanding. the feeling among a lbrge umber of people not In the best of circumstances. in respect to the Nutde Hospital is that, while It is perhaps easier to get a friend into the Institution than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. the comparison doesnot fall far short. To illustrate, Sunday morning alman was found dead at the rear of 10 Bouton street. Subsequently it developed that the man had been ill of pneumonia and had not been properly c'ared for; bad. In fact. been ill for about a. week without even the soryicea of a physi- cian. and then. when one was called the patient was practically dying. The same night he escaped in his night clothes. and from appearances had been dead several hours when found. “But," some people might ask, “What connection is there between this inel- dant and the hospital?" True, there doesn't seem to be any on the face of it. But let us see. Suppose this man's friends had known there was a ready haven where he might be properly cared for simply for the asking. He might have been alive today, and prob- ably would have been. With this no- derlying feeling that It is a difficult matter to gain entrance to the hospi- tll except at somebody's swe‘ct will many a (use which should reach there fails to This feeling of dlmdetide to call on the hospital for aid on the aart of so nym ie shoulgj be dig! fl'fitfim an pertaining) y the odlc'crs 0f the ins‘ltution it must be cool aed, however, so far as We have. been able to fudge. that they have not done this Numerous cases reveal too. too much red tape where quick action was needed. Little wonder the pie become exasperated when they have to run the guautlet of red tape and delay. realizing that such delay may swing the balance from life to death. This Is a. serious mutter—an entirely too serious matter to be ar- gued off as it always has been in the past. The hospital ls highly regarded as an institution by the silicon. or the town. and careful, intelligent treatment is given there. but that I. not the point. Instead of being a place to he reached after a tortuous route. the way should he just as easy as to some other lib emotions—policeheadquarters. for in- stance. it a man is found in a drunk- en stupor, a policeman doesn't have to interview several city officials before he has him cartedjinto the police sis.- lion. 0n the other band, if that same policeman should be called to some little attic room to take a look at the same man in the throes of pneumonia or any other disease, the best he has‘ to offer is, “I can't do anything about it; you‘ll have to see the aelcctmen or some of the officers of the hospital." in the meantime the condition of the patient can. hardly be said to be im- ng. But the herd only knows when that suffering bit of humanity will get to the hospital. ,Only a short time ago We observed ,tilo case of a man who had been strick- .6ra with paralysis at his boarding place 1-lis had no home. His friends discov- ‘4 SM his plight and reported it to the lice, with the-usual polite invita- ‘ lion to go tell somebody else about It.

Cur- tiss thou brought it to the earth and. although he landed on a log that lay in his path, the machine allghied safe- y. Satisfied with the result of his early morning trial, Mr. Curtiss with the aid of his assistant guided the machine under Its own motive power back to the shed, In which it was housed. "First blood." said Mr. Curtlss as one of those who witnessed the flight grasped his hand. "She runs well." he added, "but it requires a longer start on the ground than 1 llsllfllll' have to make. It rides smoothly and I am well-satisfied with It." As a result of his test Mr. Cumss may replace his propeller with another that he has built at his Hammondsporr factory. Previous to making the flight. Mr. Curtlss examined the entire extent of the Governor' s island' is aerodromo and found few places where the sand was solid enough to afford a good starting point. In the test of the motor beforr making the flight, Mr. Curtiss found that he would have difficulty in start- ing In the soft sand. "We are just go- ing to try our. the motor." the aero- planist remarked to one of the army officers by way of explanation in order that his test would not be mistaken. for a failure to rise from the earth. "We are faced sideways to the wind." he added "and It Would be impossible to rise while In that position.” Two hours after Curtiss completed his flight Wilbur Wright had his machine taken from the shed and made a flight encircling Governor's island. sailing over the water and cov- ering six miles. Wright made a bad landing, the tip of one of his planes striking the shed and swerving the machine around. Fortunately no dam- age resulted, and the aeroplane was. replaced on the starting track. Before getting into .his seat. Wright gavo his motor a thorough test. Ha faced the west. and the wind. which, bewever. was not as strong as when Curtiss flew. Charles Taylor.

When about to land the left wing tip scraped the sand and whirled the machine around so that it landed side- wise on the skids. "That‘s the worst landing I've made in a long time and I’m not going to try anything like It again." said the aviator. ”I thought surely the ins- chine. would be smashed to pieces. It is the only machine In the world that would stand such a bad‘ landing. Throughout the flight was characteris- tically a Wright light. The machine rose eighty feet to one hundred feet at certain points. but flew on an aver- age of forty feet high. When at right angles to the wind It listed somewhat and there were undulations which tended to show that the operator had good control and was meeting with ef- fect the puny gusts of wind. There were marked differences in the manner in which the Curtiss and Wright machines behaved. (‘urtlas flow on an even heel, and with less movement from side to side.

While returning from the statue with the mild behind him he made approximately a speed of fifty miles an hour. in starting the machine went along the monorail for the entire distance of 185 feet and then. respnoding to Mr. Wright's control, turned upward. As- ccnding as he circled about. Mr. Wright headed his machine directly toward the Statue of Liberty. At a height of thirty lest he flew directly over the water with the wind coming slightly over the port side. He climbed gradually as he approached the Jersey shore and had attained the height of 100 feet_whcn he began his turn to the southward to pan around the statue. He was fully 150 feet In the air when he headed for the starting point on Governor's island (‘oming with the speed of an express ’train, the aeroplane was only ten or fifteen feet from the ground when It reached the aerodrome.
