FUTURE
OF FLYING,
AUTOMATIC STAHI ITY OF AEROPĻAVÉS.
The most string feature of the discussion on flying, for winch the mathematical and engineering sections on the British Association joined forces on the 4th ist, was the attack made upon the notion of automatic stability. At the present times great many signers of aeroplanes are working at this problen It is generally regarded as the next great lice of advance in the construction of flying machins Yet both Professor Petsvel and lr William White derided the idea.
WEATHER REPORT.
On the 26th at 12.05 p.m.-The barometer has fallen moderately in the Philippines and
also over N. China.
The fall over the foriner area is due to a typhoon which, at present, is situated to the East of Luzon. It is moving towards W.N.W.
or N.W.
A depression is showralan, over N. China. The returns from Japan are lacking, but probably pressure remains high orer that area, ad NE, over the N.E. part of the China Ser The wind will troshen considerably from N. during the next 24 hours."
Hongkong rainfall for the 24 hours ending at 10 am, to-day, 0.00 inches,
The forecast for the 24 hours ending at noon today is as follows

No subject, said Mr. Borriman the opener of the discussion, was of greater interest to the public then lying. So far the-art-liad progressed by reason of tho daring of airmen and the enterprise of seroplane builders Now it ought to attract minds which kad matered in other directions and which should bring in the aid of science to the safety and the officiency of flying machines ineresso Dr. W.N.Shaw, the well known meteorologist, discussed the difficulty which he thought could only be overcome by greater speed. This, Low-South avor, would not got over the trouble of holes ia

Professor Petavel, just returned from a month's dying on Salisbury plain, threw doubt apon
the possibility of obtaining automatic stability, and even said he did not think it was necessary or desirable. The tricycle was stable, and the biosule unstable, but almost all riders preferred the latter. Any mechanista worked by guate of wind for ensuring automatio stability would probably be dangerous in other
Woys.
With this view Sie William White agreed.

In returning thanks the Emperor
The words in which you baso given dejuent expression to the significance of the monument and of to-day's ceremony find a lively echo in the German Empire. You have rightly referred to the bloed relationship and uninterrupted friendship which unite, and mnat aver more closely unite, the German and American Estions,
In a telegram, the Emperor thanked Mr. Taf- for the "beautiful present, which is so gratit fying a testimony of the friendship between the Geron and American nations. Afterwards the Monarch received the retiring United States Ambassador, Dr. Hill, in a farewell audience.
Reuter's Correspondent at Potsdam reported that in the course of his speech at the unrelling of the Steuben statue Mr. Bertholdt, in ons Pussige, said:
The Stenbon monument in Washington, of which the Potsdam statne is a copy, was intended aga visible recognition of his merita, and the glorious share of Germans in general, in the great liberation from England wovement."
