Santons Sumont in pericolo
(per ielegrato)

PARIGI, 5 - Ieri Santos Dumont tento di uscire col suo aereoplano ((14 bis)) in un prato presso Saint Cyr, benche il vento fosse abbastanza forte.  La maccina si sollevo un metro e trento centimetri dal suolo e fece un percorso d'una trentina di metri.  Ma poi si piego da una parte e cadde a terra spezzandosi. Soltanto grazie al suo mirabile sangue freddo Santos Dumont pote uscire incolume dall'accidente. Egli fermo subito il motore evitando cosi il pericolo d'una esplosione. La macchina ha subito gravi avarie ed occorreranno parecchi giorni prima che sia riparata.

FLYING MACHINE OF WRIGHT BROTHERS STANDS ALL TESTS APPLIED SO FAR

THE WRIGHT BROTHERS' FLYING MACHINE

Would you like to fly?
Not iu a cumbersome balloon, lifted by gas and exposed to thousands of perils, but to fly as the birds fly, with or against the wind, high or low, able to direct your course with certainty and precision and to land even while speeding at forty miles an hour as gently as an aquatic fowl flutters to the surface of a lake?
The story of the Wright brothers, of Dayton, O. has been told before, but few realize the tremendous significance of their discoveries.
In their machines they have made more than 200 flights, and have never met with serious accident.
The longest flight has been nearly twenty-five miles.
The longest duration of flight has been about forty minutes.
It makes no difference whether the wind is blowing one way or another, or at all.
They fly a foot from the ground or 100 feet or 1,000 feet.
They land easily and without shock while going forty miles an hour.
Wilber and Orville Wright were first attracted to the problem of aerial navigation by a toy from France.  They began to experiment and in 1900 they went to Kitty Hawk, N.C. where they conducted a series of trial flights that demonstrated the correctness of their theories.
The latest flyer weighs something like 1,000 pounds and is driven by a small gasoline engine.  It has rudders before and behind, and the operator lies flat on his face between the two huge decks of stout muslin.
The brothers have made certain tentative offers to several governments.
