Graham. ‘“These currents travel in an elliptical course, and at different altitudes move in dif- | ferent directions. Aided by these cur- rents and with the speed of machines a flight from New York to San Fran- cisco in five to six hours is certain. Of course the machines will have to be electrically heated and supplied with oxygen or no one could live at such heights."” o ! gtrect and enrolied for 2. il to the witness stand shortly the naval court of inquiry resumed sessions here today.
