The old relic was wheeled from its hangar early this mornifg, the pilot immedi- ately climbed into the seat and was away under much the same conditions as would prevail in a flight of the lat- est model seroplane. The flight was short, but successful in every respect. The Langley machine but little resem - bines’ the basic principles of aviation and after many years of neglect the “old junk” came into its own, giving its aged inventor his deserved place among the pioneers of aviator: But for an untimely accident and what was termed the “miserliness of the governmeat,” Langley would un- doubtedly have won fame during his lifetime. Instead, he died broken-heart- ed, after devoting twenty years to the study of aviation. STUDENT SHOT WHILE HAZING DIES OF WOUNDS Five Freshmen of §t. John's Mi College, Annapolis, Rearrested.
