But if airships are fixed will they be a fact? ---------------------------------- Cosriere della Sera 8 Mar 1907. Milan IL nuovo aereoplano di Santos Dumont Il telef. da Parigi. 8 marzo mattina: Santos Dumont doveva riprendere ieri la serie delle esperienze col suo aereoplano che regli ha rifatto di sana pianta. Ma i preparativi non erano terminati e l'esperienza è stata rimandata ai primi giorai della settimana prossima. Per essere più libero e meno assediato dai curiosi. Santos Dumont ha preso in affitto un vasto tratto di terreno in piena alcuni giornalisti hanno potuto visitare la sua nuova macchina per volare. L'apparecchio è stato costruito con lo stesso sistema dell'che servi alle esperienze dell'anno scorso; ma ha un aspetto molto diverso. Il timone anzichè alla parte anteriore, come era nell'apparecchio precedente è posto alla parte posteriore ed il canestro di vimini in cui siede l'aereonauta, si trova nel centro. Le ali sono formate ancora di cellule o aquiloni giapponesi. L'apparecchio è munito d'un motore di cento cavalli, perchè non può volare se il motore non gli dà la forza di settanta chilometri all'ora. L'elica posta sul davanti è capace a; fare 1200 giri al minuto. ----------------------------------- Post Dispatch St Louis Mo. 8 March 1907 MONEY FOR AIR SAILORS. This ought to be an exceptionally active year in aeronautics, because there is plenty of opportunity for the enterprising air sailor to win both fame and money. Beginning with March 1, any aeronaut can compete for the Lahm cup. He can start from any point in the United States, having first given notice of his intention to the Aero Club of America. He must exceed Lient Lahm's record of 402 miles. The cup is valuable and, of course, the gate receipts would be worth while. The great Bennett Cup contest, to be held in St, Louis next October, will enable some aeronaut to make money and win honor. The cup is valued at $2500, the entry fees are estimated at $2000. These constitute the first prize. The second prize is $1000, the third $750, the forth $500 and the fifth $250. But without waiting for this contest, the aeronaut, especially if he be the inventor or owner of a successful aeroplane, can keep profitably busy. The president of the Aero Club of America has announced that a millionaire will put up the sum of $200,000 to aid in the solution of the aeroplane problem. If this is too indefinite, he may go to Europe and compete for one of the following prizes: London to Manchester; $50,000 prize offered by the Daily Mail for a type heavier than air. Paris to London in 1908; $20,000 offered by the Matin, and increased to $50,000 by public subscription. The Archdeacon prize of $10,000 for aeroplanes over a distance of half a mile. Hedges Butler Challenge Cup, offered by Mr. Frank Hedges Butler, for the longest distance covered by aeroplanes or balloons starting from London on a given date. Howard de Walden prize, offered for a type heavier than air. Montague challenge prize; 500 guineas, offered by Lord Montague of Beaulieu. Ten Thousand dollars offered by the Adams Manufacturing Co. (who owns the British rights in the "Antoninette" engine), provided the aeroplane be made entirely in England. Two thousand five hundred dollar auto car for engine made in England. Five thousand dollars prize Graphic for the first aeroplane that flies between two given less than a mile ---------------------------------- Gazzetta di Losrerd [?] 8 Mar 1907. Lueice.

La magnifique performance aèrienne de M. Paul Lèglise, - Bordeaux a Charny (Yonne), soit 450 kilomètres a vol d'oiseau, en 22 heures, - ne bat pas seulement le record de distance et de durèe des aèronautes de l'Aèro-Club du Sud-Ouest dont nous avons parlè, record qui ètait dètenu par M. Ch. de Llrac depuis avril 1906, avec 300 kilomètres en 12 heures - Bordeaux a Villepinte (Aude). Elle bat egalement le record de tous les aèronautes qui se sont èlevès de Bordeaux, aussi loin qu'on remonte dans l'histoire de l'aèrostation, ce qui n'est point une constatation sans valeur pour un centre qui fultoujours si fameux dans cette histoire. C'est, en effet, M. Balsan, l'aèronaute parisien bien connu, qui dètenait ce record depuis 1901, èpoque a laquelle, en prenant part a un important concours de balloons organisè a Bordeaux, il rèussit a aller atterrir entro Montpellier et Aiguesmortes, au sud de Lunel, soit a environ 400 kilomètres a vol d'oiseau.

When half a dozen young men, several of them well known residents of this village, can be made to think they are taking a ride in a balloon, and can be made to think it so intently that they become seasick by the motion there's the best of evidence that a mesmerist of no mean ability is at work. This was but one of the many amusing "stunts" that Pauline, the hypnotist, who is showing at the Town Hall Theater this week, put his subjects through last night. There may have been those in the audience last night who were a bit sceptical as to the science of mesmerism, but none doubted the ability of Pauline as an entertainer. As a laugh producer Pauline demonstrated that he was all that he claimed for himself, for from the time he began his fun making part of the entertainment until it closed, every one in the good sized audience was convulsed. He also succeeded wonderfully well as a mystifier. His experiments last night were the most entertaining of any yet tried here. This he explains is possible because the greater number of times he has a subject under his control the greater becomes his power, with consequent greater facilities for entertainment. Last night his mesmeric power seemed complete over a dozen local young men and th [[clipping cut off here]]
