My prophecy with regard to flying machines, as may well be seen by the original statement herewith, was made twenty-eight years before the French aviator brought his machine to Australia which was on 2nd November, 1910, or two weeks before his successful flight. Subsequently Mr. Hammond flew over the city. He remarked: "I was to early for breakfast, and just thirty years too late to claim E. W. Cole's prize of £1,000." I believe that the advance of flying machines will be so rapid that within the next decade they will be used with as much ease and safety as any other means of present locomotion. I will further state that their utility will be so great as to enable China, with her three hundred millions, to succeed in taking correct statistics. And eventually the velocity with which they will fly may materially assist in establishing the peace of the world and the Parliament of Man. My prophecy with regard to flying machines was made in 1868, and the bonus of £1,000 (see previous page) was offered in 1882. —E. W. Cole

Mr. H. Hawker,
 The Man Who Flew.
Mr. Hawker was born at Brighton, Victoria, on 22nd January, 1889. He went to England in 1911, returning to Victoria in 1914, after three years experience of aviation in England. He just missed the £5000 prize given by the "Daily Mail" for a flight around the British Isles, meeting with an accident off the coast of Ireland.
