Hon. Reporter from McClunsey’s Magazine came up to say: “I represent it.”
Silence from Hon. Right.
“What natural views do you possess of mind about future development of airoplanes for carrying persons for traffick?” require Hon. Muckrake.
“I refuse to answer,” response Hon. Right with E. H. Harriman signals.
“Oh so hurrah!” collapse them Hon. Reporter. “I got scoop news for McClunsey’s Magazine. Hon. Right have spoke for first time!!”
Mr. Editor, I am morely assured that aireal navigation will be very cheap sport for poor mans. Hickory wood are cheap, canvas are cheap, nails are cheap & life are cheap. All them is necessary for one good airship. You can borrow 1 gas-engine from another automobile. Next choose some bird what look safe & intelligent & built your fly-machine to resemble it. If you admire for pidgeons, then built one pidgeon-toe air-plane. If you think hawks is most pleasant fliers, all well; then make a hawkish air-boat. Nail all them airship together with considerable canvas & light hickory corners, fasten on them gas-engine what you have borrowed, carry such machinery to vacant plains & teach it to fly like the bird what you admire most much.
All airships can fly, but some of them is very hard to teach.
Last yesterday I was tooking a feet-walk by lonesome hill of Berkeley. Among daisy-cup grassy of steep slope I seen some machinery in attitude of mechanical expectation. It were a very cross-looking machinery like a bisickel whose mother was a sail-boat. Several Hon. Professors was standing around to encourage Hon. Airnot with statistick about dying for science. Hon. Airnot speak of relatives in Kansas City and regret sinful youth with considerable paleness.
“What you so trembly for?” eject Professor with Ben Tillman expression. “Are it possibly that you are afraid to go up?”
