[[handwritten over text: America?]] e il loro impiego nella guerra (Servizio speciale dell’Ora) LONDRA, 14 — Le autorità del King’s College, una delle sezioni più importanti dell’Università di Londra, siano trattando con l’Aero Club inglese per procedere alle esperienze scientifiche relative alla costruzione degli aereoplani. Il prof. Herntingdon del King’s College, che partecipò alla corsa Gordon Bennet, dichiara che egli ed i suoi colleghi si occuperanno in particolar modo e cercheranno la miglior forma elica. Il professore dice che l’uso degli aereoplani avrà nella guerra avvenire una parte imporante e però l’Inghilterra farà bene ad occuparsi di tale questione giacché si è fin troppo lasciata passare avanti da altri paesi e sovratutto dalla Francia e dalla Germania. Il professore aggiunge che fra cinque anni si vedranno grandi progressi nella costruzione degli aereo-plani. Attualmente questi irovano grande applicazione e saranno ancora più usati dappertutto ed i modelli che si esporranno a Londra saranno 2,650 e già trenta modelli sono stati iscritti. Il prof. Herntingdon aggiunge che il King’s College, come i suoi collaboratori, è a disposizione di ogni inventore, sia membro dell’Aereo Club o non darà gratuitamente le prove. (Matin.) Esposizione di modelli di aeroplani (Servizio speciale dell’Ora) LONDRA, 14 — Il giorno 16 corrente si inaugurerà per iniziativa del Daily Mail una esposizione di modelli di aeroplani, la prima del genere che si tenga in Inghilterra. L’esposizione si terrà nei locali dell’Aero Club in Piccadilly ed i concorrenti sono 350. Il premio stabilito per il modello che darà migliore prova sarà di 250 sterline. I modelli sono infiniti in varietà di tipi e per l’adozione di vari sitemi di forz motrice; alcuni sono animati infatti da un semplice elastico, altri invece da elettricità, da motori a petrolio, da motori ad aria compressa e cosi [[?]]. Questo esposizione desterà certo un vivissimo interesse come preparatoria alla grande gara aeroplani con 10.000 sterline di premio, che fu indetta dallo stesso giornale, il Daily Mail, per la distanza intercorrente fra Londra e Manchester. — World New York 15 Mar 1907 NEW YORK TO BE IN THE BIG BALLOON RACE.

Each competing country is entitled to three entries. Secretary Kearney, of the St. Louis Aero Club, received word from Philadelphia last night that it would be on hand with a big balloon and several aerial enthusiasts.

Hawley will have charge of the St. Louis balloon. His competitors will be Lieut. Frank Lahm, of the United States Army, and J.C. McCoy, of New York. McCoy and Lahm will decide between themselves which balloon each will pilot. The St. Louis Club has had made an aeronautic man of the city, 2,000 copies of which have been printed and are beinfg sent by Secretary Kearney to all parts of the globe. On its margin is a record of balloon flights which have been made from this and other cities in this country, which includes the longest that is a matter of record up to 1900. This was the flight of John Wise from this city in 1859, and which ended in Henderson, N.Y., the distance covered being 1,150 miles. — [[?]] OF BALLOON RACE [[?]] THE AERO CLUB HAS ITS FIRST ANNUAL DINNER.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE SUN. BERLIN, March 14.—Prof. Behring, speaking to-day on the subject of the fight against tuberculosis, at a meeting of the Agricultural Union, attacked Pasteur’s system of purifying milk. Pasteur, Behring said, sought to replace milk by an artificial product. Similarly, he condemned the sterilization of milk and the boiling of water, with a view of rendering them innocuous. He considered boiled milk unsuitable food for infants, while the boiling of water killed the elements intended by nature for the making of bone and sinew. What is really necessary, he said, is the production of healthy cows and pure water. — HOOKED DAD’S POLICE SHIELD. Fitzgerald Boys Played “Cops” and Their Father Had to Go Up on Charges. Doorman Bartholomew Fitzgerald of the Eldridge street station was up on charges at Police Headquarters yesterday because his youngsters played “cops and robbers.” Fitzgerald left his shield on the bureau i his bedroom and his two boys hooked it. The doorman had to report at the station house without his badge and Capt. Man on complained. The youngsters returned the shield to their father the next day and they have been taking their meals standing up ever since. Fitzgerald was fined a quarter of a day’s pay.
Transcription Notes:
In the second to last paragraph on the left side, I believe it is a typo that the Club made an aeromatic “man” of the city; I believe this should read “map.”
