Show Bird Man Has Arrived. On the day after Christmas a Russian Rus-sian aviator at St. Petersburg flew a new machine of his own making for hours, carrying ten passengers in addition addi-tion to a heavy load of ballast. This establishes the aeroplane as a sure adjunct of modern transportation, including in-cluding passengers and freight. A few rays before this ven we heard of the successful use of the flying machine ma-chine by the French army operating In Morocco, which puts this new mode of warfare among the arms of military operations of our day, and hereafter when we use the expression "all arms" we shall have to Include the ii Ing machine. |
