FLI?S AT LAST Aviator Shov?a Invention Theory Waa' Corre?t-~-Curlis3f Flew rr?achine (By Associated Press.) Elmira, N. Y., May 29.-The theory of Dr. Samuel Pierpont Langley, who proclaimed to the world that he had solved the problem of the air several' years before thb upper elements had been successfully navigated by a hav ier-than-alr machine wss vindicated at Hammondsport yesterday, when Glenn Ciir tl BB, tho, aviator, went aloft in Langley's folly."' . , The cnude flying machJoe, which fell Into the Potomac river;' when Dr. Langley, its Inventor, attem'ifced to fly In ii i?S vh'co later was consigned to the Smithsonian Institution* it Wash ington bod every requisite for flight, I ntfd remained in the,air long enough to demonstrate the practical mind of itte maker who-had been: ridiculed by j hts Incredulous -contemporaries. But for as? untimely accident, and what was termed .the "miserliness of th? government" Langley would, .have undoubtedly won famo ''during his life time. Instead, he died a broken hearted mau, after devoting twenty | years of hin life' to the study of avia tion. Years later others received the j fame and cr?dit where he should have I had a share. .. : Langley made the fatal error of try ing to catapult the flyer into the sir with the aid. of . ponderous spring, but he only succeeded in wrecking the ma chine. Had he tried the method pur aue'd today of running it along - the ally* in the air, : there is little doubt'h? would have made'the first flight la a h??vier-thnri- air machine. Tho antiquated machine was sent.to Hammondsport about two months ago. Scarcely a change was made in its parts. The surface of the win_ which had suffered from long storage,! were replaced. Other minor.parts re- ! paired were duplicates of the origin als. The machine was driven today by . the old motor built by Charles | Manly. Dr. Langley .was^the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. He was sat isfied ot possibility of flight in heav ier-than-air machines and spent years in'working on the problem. In 1896 he Hew a steam driven model a dlstanc 3 of,about s mile over Ufe Potomac rif er. * * *,c* * *;'* s* if|&^ * * * * SOUTH WILHAMSTON ? 9yWft * * * WW ***** Tb.
