1907, February 22 Friday at Baodeck [[?]] [[?]] 10 Jan 1907 A French flying machine inventor recently died leaving his patent to the poor of Paris. Was it his idea that the poor should fly away and be at rest? [[?]] New York 10 Jan 1907 DR. THOMAS HAS NEIGHBORS WHO ARE SAYING THINGS, MANY AND SUNDRY, ABOUT HIM Having a Truly Great Man in Their Block, Annoying at Times With Wind Wagon and Rubberneckers and Sich--And Then There's the Medicated Bread Line A few of the annoyances that accompany fame were brought to light yesterday when at a neighborly talkfest some of the residents of that part of West Seventy-second street that is built around the home of Dr. Julian P. Thomas, the well known balloonist, spoke right out in the sunlight and asked how about it. In the heat of the indignation some of the balloonist's neighbors seemed quite to forget that Dr. Thomas cannot be blamed if the city insists on making much of him. One of the balloonist's friends, who lives in another part of town, said that the neighbors were merely jealous. "Far be it from me to lead the anvil chorus, but--" was the tenor of the individual orators of the talkfest. The kicks that followed the "but" had much variety, although after they had all been delivered it was readily seen by one who had taken notes that the annoyances that attend fame in West Seventy-second street could readily be divided, like the tropics, into two seasons--the summer kicks and the winter kicks. The principal summer kick is about the way the Seeing New York deck officers bawl out as they haul the Sparkill brides through the street: "Onr lef twe've th'ome uv Dr. Julian-thomas thwell known balloonster. Tha's doctor settinon th' stoop in thwhite duck soot!" "And then the doctor," said a young man who lives in the home of Albert S Roe, next door to the doctor's house, "stands up and bows to the applause of the jays on the rubberneck wagon." "And sometimes the Seeing New York wagon goes past so fast," lamented a voice in the home of Mrs. Delaplaine Brown, next door to the doctor's house on the east, "the people think our house is the one the man with the megaphone means. Now I wouldn't say a word against a neighbor for the world--none of us knows the doctor anyway, personally--but I will say that with his wind wagons and things we're all sorry on this end of the street that he--he--" "Some summer evenings," continued the man who said he wasn't the elder Mr. Roe, "the doctor isn't home. He used to go down to a roof garden when the Fays were Herald New York 11 Jan 1907 Airship Progess in France The HERALD'S special cables from Paris to-day tell of Comte de La Vanix's two successful flights with his new airship at Hartroubille on Wednesday and a thorough examination of the apparatus afforded to a party of military experts. America is taking such a keen interest in the study of aerial navigation that the progress being made in France, where as a science and a sport it is industriously advanced, is watched closely. Herald New York 11 Jan 1907 [SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD.] St. Louis, Mo., Thursday--"Dan" C. Nugent, one of the active workers in the AeroClub, is trying to get an option on the Delmar race track or adjoining property. There a club house will be built and grounds fenced in, from which flights can be made. The object and purpose of the club are set forth by Abert Bond Lambert, president of the Lambert Pharmacal Company, an enthusiastic automobilist and one of the organizers of the Aero Club. "The primary purpose," said Mr. Lambert, "is to see that the international balloon race next fall is properly managed and also to see that St. Louis is well-represented. The Aero Club will have a big balloon made, which it will enter in the race under the name of St. Louis. "I've joined with three other members and we are going to purchase a balloon. You see, I won't care to go up in the balloon every day as I would to go out in my car, so it will to all practical purposes be a private balloon. Most of the members will join syndicates of this kind and have part ownerships in balloons."
