Two women, walking along omne of the business thoroughfares of New York, heard a great shouting of “Ex- try! Extry!” and looked about to see where all the noise was coming from. Across the street they spied one very small newsboy shouting with all his might. One of the women, attracting the boy’s attention, called him to her and bought a paper; then, as she dropped the pennies into the little fellow's hand, she said: “You mustn't make So much noise, my little man; you can sell your pa- pers just as well without yelling so” For half a second the boy looked up at her in surprise, then exclaimed: “You don't understand, missus; vou have got to yell like hell to make a living in New York Rev.

He was direct in his ways and had no patience with quib- ‘bling. He. was a splendid organizer and commander. The state has lost one who was foremost in active work for i.s many interests.” ORSAMUS R. FYLER. An Active and Forceful Citizen and Old Soidier. Orsamus R. Fyler was a descendant of Walter Fyler; who came from En land in 1635 and resided in Dorche ter Mass. In the same year Walter Fyler came to Windsor in this state. One of his descendants, Capt. Stephen Fyler. was a soldier in the war of the Revolution. At the close of the Rev- olutionary war, Captain Fyler settled in what.is now the town of Torrington and was a strong democrat in politics. His son, Harlow Fyler, was an exten- sive farmer in Torrington and owned eight hundred acres of land. He married Sybyl R: Tolles, He was in his eighty-second year when he died. Commissioner Fyler was his eighth child. He was born in Torrington January 17, 1840, attended the dis- trict schools of his native town and finished his education at the Wesleyan academy, Wilbraham, Mass. Mr. Fyler enlisted for service in the wa of the Rebellion in the Nineteenth regiment, Conneeticut volunteers, S tember 11, 1862, The regiment under the command of Col. Leverett ‘W. Wessels. Afterwards. the regiment was changed from an infantry to an artillery regiment and was known as the Second heavy artillery. Mr. Fyler rendered valuable service as a recruit- ing officer. At Camp Dutton, Litch- fleld, he was made color sergeant and on February 6, 1864, he received a commission for second lieutenant. In May, 1864, Lieutenant Fyler joined the army of General Grant and took part in the battles of North Anna River, Cold Harbor. the struggle around. Pe- tershurg, and Weldon railroad. He fought. at Winchester under General Sheridan in 1864, and was wounded in the left leg. For bravery on the battlefield at Winchester he received a first lieutenant’s commission. -Lieu- tenant Fyler. suffered during the bal- ance of Nis life from the effects of the wounds which he received in the war of the Rebellion. His lameness was the result of these wounds. When he returned home to Tor- rington at the close of the war Lieu- tenant Fyler engaged in the flour and grain business in Torrington as the principal member of the firm of O. R. Fyler & Co. This business arrange- ment lasted two 'years. He was ap- pointed postmaster of Torrington President Andrew Johnson. He was afterwards reappointed by Presidents Grant, Hayes and Garfield. He re- tired from the postmastership of To rington in 1885 at the expiration of hig term and President Cleveland appoint- ed a democrat to succeed him. Dur- ing the nineteen years that he w postmaster the town of Torrington - creased in population and it developad into one of the important incdustrial towns of the state. In order to keep pace with the growth of the town, 1t was necessary to make a numb of improvements in the postoffice, i these were carried out under the sa- pervision. of Postmaster Fyler.

Heary B. Harrison. He was reappointed by Gov. Phineas C. Lounsbury and by Governor Bulkeley, serving in all nearly “seven years as head of the insurance department of the astate. It was during his administration that the Charter Oak Life Insurance com- pany and the Continental Life insur- ance company were placed in the hands of receivers, To Mr. Fyler is largely dua the credit of securing for the town of Torrington a splendid water system. He was the first to call a meeting of citizens of the town for the purpose of considering the project and he was one of a committee to investigate the matter and make a report to a town meeting. His celleaguca on the committee were the Hon. Tsaac W. Brooks and the Hon. Charles F. Brooker. Mr. Fyler was made the superintendent of the water works and the development of the plant by which the citizens of Torrington receive an adequate supply of pure, wholesome water, has been carried out under his supervision. In 1897 Mr. Fyler was appointed a member of the railroad commissien and by successive reappointments he continued 2 member of the commis- sion until his death, His last ap- pointment, by the late Governor Lil- ley, was for the term which would 'hu\'e expired in 1913. At the session of 1886 Mr. Fyler represented the town of Torrington in the general as- sembly. Mr. Fyler was a staunch republican and for a number of years he was the chairman of the republi- can state central .committee. His first vote for president was cast for Abraham Lincoln. When he cast that vote Mr. Fyler was in a hosepital at Winchester, Va., the state having sent commissioners to collect the soldiers’ vote. Mr. Fyler was a delegate to the republican national convention at which James G. Blaine was nominat- ed, During the campaign which fol- lslowed he was one of the most en- thusiastic supporters of the candidacy of the Plumed Knight. He felt the defeat of Mr. Blaine very keenly. Mr. Fyler was a delegate to the state con- stitutional convention of 1902. He owned a controlling interest in the Torripgton Publishing Co., which pub- lishes the Evening Register of that town. Mr. Fyler took a great deal of -interest in the paper and its marked improvement. is due.largely to the pol- icy which he established. - Mr. Fyler was a member of Seneca lodge, No. F. and A. M., of Tor- rington, and of the Connecticut Ma- sonic Veterans' association. Mr. Fyler is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Gertrude B. Hotchkiss, wife of former Representa- tive E. H. Hotchkiss, of Torrington. A Zoo for Boston. For many years Boston has been so far behind other cities of importance in her lack of a zoological garden that Alexander Pope's plan to acquire a tract of land in the Middlesex Fells to be devoted to the housing of wild animals and birds ought to be regard- ed with favor by the people in gen- eral. The proposed location may be objected to because of its distance frog the city proper, yet there seems nae « ther place that will meet all the w™is of a zoo so well. And with the new electric transportation, the Fells are practically not far off. The zoological society is already in existence, some funds have been raised and plans made to present a bill to the next legislature asking au- thority for the metropolitan park com- mission to equip quarters for the an- imals that will be supplied gratis by the society. Certainly the expense would not be great, while the benefit to the people in pleasure and instruc- tion would make the institution well worth paying for. The legislature ought to favor the scheme. But, meantime, The Post would suggest that if the zoological society were to substantially add to the $16,000 already in hand by pri- vate subscriptions, their request would be much more effective with the mem- bers of the general court. “Them as has, gits,” is an ancient New Eng- land adage still well beloved by So- lons.—Boston Post. Reminded of Bear Ague. This being the middle of the open season for deer the subject of big game is frequently discussed just now at the various gatherings of men in this city. Naturally the ailment known as “buck fever” is often referred to by story tellers. “That reminds me of something worse,” said Lieut. J. C. Burnett of the United States branch hydrograph- ic office, the other day. “It reminds me of ‘bear ague.’ Never heard of it, {eh? Well I first ercountered it in Wrangell narrows, Alaska, a number of years ago..- We were on the old surveying steamer Patterson. “Just as we roun¥led a point of land not more than 200 yards distant, a big black bear was seen on the beach, looking at us. Eight men took up rifles at once and were about to shoot, when I told them to wait and fire all at once in a volley when I gave the order. They all took careful beads on the beast. ‘Ready, fire!’ I shouted. “There was a rattle of 'musketry as the eight pieces were discharged, and every one looked to see the animal's death throes. There was the bear running up the hill as lively as a jack rabbit. Not a shot had hit him. Bear ague, that's all. Every man’'s hand was trembling so that he couldn’t hit a house.

" | Rules_of Aerial Road Likaly to Be sculls, or disturbance of the air as it from the leach of the weatherly yacht that is beating out windward some distance ahead. n the case of two yachts that e same tack in a struggle to windward, there is a certain relativa rosition of the two, in which the disturbance of the air, caus- ed by its passage over the salls of the leading yacht, will prove exceedingly troublesome to the second boat, espe- cially if she be but a few lengths astern and sailing close to the wake of the other. When this eccurs there is nething for it but to put about on the other tack, and so get clear of the interfer- ence. ‘With the rapid development of me- chancal flight, the remarkable extent of which was shown so clearly in the recent ‘briltiant performances at Rheims, it has become evident that the “wash,” or interference, which is in« convenient to a sailing yacht, may be- come positively disastrous to that yacht of the air, the aeroplane, It was not until the Rheims contests that an opportunity was presented to determine the effect of one aeroplane upon another, when, in meeting or ov- ertaking, they passed in rather. close proximity. It id quite possible that the question of interference had never occurred to the aviators at Rheims, but it is certainly a surprising fact that the existence of such interference, and its evidently serlous character as shown when several machines were in the air at once, should not have ex- cited more attention, both at the time and in subsequent expert discussions of the Rheims contests. When such a large body as an aero- plane, spreading several Thundred square feet of surface, and weighing from a quarter to half a ton, is driven at 50 miles an hour by propellers that are revolving at from 1,000 to 1,200 revolutions per minute, it s certain to leave in its wake a complicated se- ries of aerfal ecross. currents, whirl- pools and vortices. Now, judging from the description of eye witnesses of the Rheims races, the behavior of the aeroplanes, when they swept into rather close proxim- ity to one another, indicates that these artificlaNy-created wind storms were present, and that they seriously af- fected the equilibrium of any aero- plane that came within their influ. ence. The “wash” from propellérs, driven as in the cgse of Bleriot's monoplane, by an 80-hbrsepower engine, and the air waves set up by the passage of his planes must be very serious in- deed; certainly, the air will net. re- gain its equilibrium until long after the machine has swept by. Two notable instances of this inter- ference occurred when several aero- planes were in the air together. During one race, when Farman was rapidly overhauling opponents who were flying at the same level, he en. countered the “wash” of the machines, and his own aeroplane was thrown In- to rather violent oscillation. Before he could pass, it was necessary to make a wide detour to the right or left, or swing up to a higher level into dis- turbed air. On another occasion when Latham, flying high, overtook a ecompetitor who was traveling at a lower level, it was noticed that his own aeroplane made a sudden dive, as though drawn downward by the suction of the ma- chine below him. “Leeway,” as the sailors call it, will become even more necessary to the air yacht than it is now to the sailing yacht. Woe to the aviator who, fly- ing low, with scant clearance between himself and the ground, is overtaken by some aeronautical scorcher, - who sweeps up from behind and with the characteristic snort of triumph whirls onward, giving him his aerial dust. Happy for him if he recover his rude- ly disturbed equilibrium at the ex. pense of a broken wing and not of a broken neck. Perhaps, after all, we have been a little too “previous” in felicitating ourselves upon the unlimited room/that will be afforded for flight through the air; evidently the clearance demanded by our 60-mile an hour aeroplane must be measured by something far wider than the stretch from tip to tip of the planes or the length from head to tail. A Professor Gone Wrong. A college professor lately said that no new pleasure had been discovered in modern days. 1s not the reading of the morning paper a pleasure they did not have in Greece and Rome? Is not the knowledge that we are not in ig. norance of any important event throughout the world for the past 24 hours a pleasure as well as a gain? Is it no pleasure to pass from Europe to America and from New York to San Francisco? Is there no gain and gratification in the fact that the utter- most ends of civilization are brought under observation within the limits of a summer’s holiday with little risk. of life and limbs? Is it nothing that even the man of one language can now command the profit of all the Jit- erature of all times and of all peoples? Should not the professor revise his language ?—Florida Times-Union.
