"You know, it is a marvel in organization how a fleet of 17 immense President Liners can be handled with such efficiency and positive dependability! One week a President sails for Victoria, B. C. and Seattle via the Short Route, and the next week one to San Francisco and Los Angeles via Honolulu. Every two weeks a President sails for the Straits, Colombo, via Suez to the Mediterranean, direct to New York, Boston and California. And every few days one of them sails Interport. That's what I call real steamship service.”

By 1800 he had perfected what he called a "whirling table," by the use of which an object could be propelled through the air at any desired speed merely by changing its position on this circular table. The table was in turn propelled by a steam engine, and had a maximum circumferential speed of seventy miles per hour. It was the fore-1 runner of the present-day wind tunnel" (which propels the air! against the object rather than the object through the air-the ingen ious laboratory method by which all new departures in flying are first tried out).

In accordance with a request from A. Seal, representing the Parochial Church Council of St. Cuthbert's, Darwen, a conference of both parties to the dispute was convened by the Bishop. A lengthy exchange of views took place. At the conclusion Mr. Lauris, on- nouneed that, acting on the advice of others, he proposed to apply to the Bishop for three months leave of absence, during which period all parties would have an opportunity of gaining the right perspective of the issues. The Bishop intimated that he was prepared to grant this request and would appoint someone to take charge of the parish, doing his best to secure a man whose ministry would be acceptable to the parishioners. Pending such ap pointment, it was unanimously agreed, the church should remain closed.
