is just Twenty-five Years
Last Del;ernber Since the
First Aeroplane Flight
Was Made by
Orville Wright
On fl Old, raw, Deeember morning
a llttleigroupp of people faeod a sharp
and biting Wind et Kill Devil Hill,
Kitty Hawk, New Carolina; They
were gathered round e strange -loop-
ing machine, which presently rose in
the air, carrying a man, and flew,
under its own power for twelve -'sec-
ends.
Twelve seeondsl How tame that
Seems today, when aeroplanes can
wing their way across eolith -lents and
oceans! But it was the first power -
driven flight that had ever been made
in the world. Three more flights
were made the same morning, the last
of fifty-nine seconds' duration. Dur-
ing that time the,, aeroplane travelled
862 feet.
When, while the machine was on
the ground,, a gust of wind over-
turned and wrecked it, making fur-
ther experiments impossible for the
moment.
It is twenty-five years sinoe that
historic morning - (December 17th),
from which we now date man's con-
quest of the air; the anniversary was
celebrated by a dinner of the Royal
Aeronautical Society at South Ken-
nington Muserun, London. The tables
were arranged under. the -machine in
which e famous flight was made.
EUROPE WAKES UP,
Yet in 1903 not a single -newspaper
ratan had thought it worth whileto
sake the journey to Kitty Hawk to
see what night come .of the Wrights'
daring experiment. And though a
general invitation had been extended
to the people who lived-in the district
to be present, only five of 'them had
troubled to turn out.
It was Orville Wright. who made
the first flight, and in 1903 he and his
brother, had already been making
'aeronautical experiments'.for seven
years. Theyy continued their work,
and in 1908 set the seal upon their
trininph by . flight of sixty-one miles
in France, .when Wilbur remained in
the air for over one hour and a 'half.
Europe .'now- woke up,aid from
that point the progress of the aero-
plane has gone forward without a
Check. Among the first to realize the
importance_ of the new •invention was
Lord Northcliffe. who played a big
part in the development of aviation
in England.
'Since those days aviation has taken
giant strides. The Atlantic hal been
crossed by air on several occasions;
Mr. Hinkley has flown to Australia
(11,000 miles) in light aeroplane;
Sir Philip Sassoon recently returnee.
to England after flying 17,000 utiles
in about a•month; and commercial,, as
distinct from military, flying is now
Tecagnized as one of the safest forms
.of transport.
INFLUENZA'S VICTIMS i
Left ViTealc, MVrfserable and a Prey
to Disease in Many Forms,
one of the most trea0lterous Hifi•
eases aflicting the people•ot Canada
tiering the winter months is lnfinenisa,
It almost invariably ends with a Com-
plication of troubles. Its victims suf-
fer with alternate fevers and chills,
headaches' end backaches. It leaves
them an easy Prey t0 brouohitis and
.pneumonia. 'Indeed, the deadly after.
effects of influenzamay leave the
victim a' chronic invalid,' You can
avoid iuliuenza entirely by keeping
the blood rich and red by the use of
Dr,. -Williams' Pink Pills. If you have
not done this and the disease attacks
you, you can banish its deadly after
ei'feots 'through the use of this great
blood -building nerve -restoring tonic.
Here is proof of the power of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills over this trouble.
Mr. P. 13. McMullen, Belleville, Ont.,
says: -"Some years' ago, following a
severe attack of influenza, I was Ian(
in such a weak condition that my
friends thought I would not get better.
I.developed nervous indigestion, and
my blood got thin and watery. In this
weakened condition'I began' the use of
Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, and these did
what other medicine had failed to do --
brought me back to health and
strength, I can honestly say I think
them the best blood builder and nerve
tonic known, and I shall always praise
them."

Australia's Navy
The Week (Brisbane): (H.M,A.S.,
Australia, stands for the principled of
independence,' interdependence, and
loyal attachment to the great Com
monivealth of Nations of which Aus-
tralia is a unit). For the existence of
,an Australian Navy is evidence of a.
determination not to shelter behitul
the forces of the British Government,
and to recognize that the Empire can
only stand by the united strength of
all parts of it, So much for inclepen-
dence. AS to loyalty to the Mother
Country, tete readiness with which the
Ciomsnonwealth Government plaeed its
naval resources completely at the
command of the Imperial Naval auth-
orities at the outbreak of the Great I
War is testimony . enough of the in- i
tention to place Empire before every-
thing.
'Treaty Disturbs British.
The recently negotiated commercial
treaty between Germany and the Un-
ion of South Africa has several times
been the weed of comment in the
British Parliament, where it is charg-
ed that it will work to the disadvan-
tage of the mother country. Accord-
ing to the London press there is a
strong movement on foot to prevent
its ratification.
In the light of the Government's
reply to one of the interpellations
r -rade the other day by Mr. Ormcby-
Gore, Under Secretary of State for
the Colonies, the new treaty does not
deet existing South African .prefer-
ences to British products, but other-
wise it does two things: first, prevents
the .extension of existing preferences
without the grant of the same privi-
leges to Germany; second, it prohibits,
the grant of new preferences unless.
they are also granted to Germany.
The Opposition press charges Mr.
Ormsby -Gore with being obscure, for.
he said nothing about the declared
policy of South Africa to conclude
most -favored -nation agreements with
as many foreign governments as pos-
sible, and that the preference given
Germany' by the treaty must also be
iven to the others; this is likewise
obected to in London,

"The Muaker Pose"
James Truslow Adanis in Harper's
(New York) : (The article answers
the question "Why is it that a gentle-'
man in America„ nowadays seems
afraid to appear as such?" An int-
poverished aristocrat may sell his title
in marriage for one generation to re-
habilitate his house, but Americans
who sell their culture, and their breed-
ing to truckle to the unbred in btfsi-
ness, who shed these things of the
spirit for motor. cars and all the rest
of the things of the body, are taking
refuge in a yet more ignominious sur-
render. They may thus pick up some
of the golden drippings from the
ssuic'kers' tables, but they do notgain;
the respect of the sneakers whom they,
imitate. and may yet awake to the
fact that they have properly forfeited
even their own.

Horne dottbtless had., this • in mind
when he spoke of the triumph of Na-
tionalism ,as bringing "an inorease of
pride to the breasts of the parochial -
minded.' Herein, I think, lies the
crux of the whole question. Is na-
tional pride -a fine thing, .and in no
way related to parochialism -at the
baton-) of the Scottish Nationalist
mcvement, or has that movement its
roots in a baser soil?' Will the dissen-
sion caused by the propagation of the
Nationalist aims ire justified ultimate-
ly by an era of increased peace and
prosperity? These are the questions
perplexing the minds of thinking men
and women of Scottish blood all over
the world today.

The Capital of :the Empire
A. G. R. Hiekes in the National Re-
view (London): A thousand years
ago political and. economic causes 0p•
erated to transfer the capital from
Winchester to London, and one must
not assume that similar causes in the
future may not carry the Crown be-
yond the- seas. For . . . to adopt
theology, Ubi caput. tbi regalia. Win-
chester was the capital of the then
principal province in the realms where
the Anglo-Saxon kings were overlord.
London succeeded as the national
centre of united England. London is
the capital of the present chief Do -
million acknowledging the Anglo-
Saxon kings' successors.- It does not
follow it must always be the national
centre of a united Empire. History is
a. ,conservative science and lives by
repeating itaelf. True that with the
development of transport and com-
munication London may so continue,
but it is prudent to consider that the
same causes which operated in the
past and now translated into modern
terms of the enormous potentialities
of the Overseas Empire will result in
the political (always regat•ded from
the sentimental) decline of the Moth-
erland as compared with her children,
and perhaps of Europe generally as
, gainst the new worlds abroad. Con-
venience may then demand the re-
moval of the regalia to Wellington, or
Ottawa, or Canberra, or Capetown, or
Delhi, or elsewhither.
