RUPERT’S GOOD RECORD. Again what might haye been an ugly harbor tragedy has been happily averted. Prince Rupert’s record so far is splendidly free from the black blots of boating fatality which mar the fair fame of the beautiful eastern cities by river and lake. Prince Rupert has still more beautiful facilities for enjoyment by water. Long may the good’sense and carefulness of our citizens keep our waterfront. history free from the tale of “fool” aecci- dents causing fatalities. THE PIERROT SHOW.

THE COMING AEROPLANE. There has been a good dea! of talk recently of the failure of the aeroplane to take a place in the world’s transportation equipment. Many people think and say that aviation will never be anything but a dangerous sport, and that the lives lost in conquering the air have been thrown away. The views of Mr. Grahame-White, one of the most famous of aviators, are worth recoding in face of these criticisms. In a recent issue of the National Review Mr. Grahame-White says that the present day aeroplane absolutely frail and experimental, and may be likened to the first tiny eraft in which men ventured out upon the ocean. They were the sport of every rough sea; they had to hasten back to land when storms arose. ‘‘Now,” he adds, “eompare these early cockleshells with the stately liners which pass with absolute regularity across the ocean.” After the cockleshell stage of the aeroplane is passed, Mr. Grahame-White anticipates rapid progress, “I expect myself,” he says, ‘to-see an eventual rate of travel through the air of from 150 to 200 miles an hour. It is a question mainly of con- structural strength and motive power. Metal must course enter into the construction of fast flying, solidly built aeroplanes. is of The passenger carrying air craft of the future will be a metal There is no reason indeed why metal Already in the case of an machine without doubt. construction should not be adopted. aeroplane for military work a steel framework has been tested ~factorily. Wood, wire and canvas will not withstand the strain of passing through the air at very high speed.” Mr. Grahame-White, after dealing at some length with technical questions involved in the increase of speed and change of materials, says: ‘The aeroplane as perfected along the lines we now see before us will be safe, cheaply operated and enorm- ously speedy. Nothing else on land or sea will compare with it. It will be independent of gales. It will pass across seas, from It will provide for its passengers a delightful Not for nothing has man country to country. means of voyaging from place to place. conquered the air.” Some who read Mr. Grahame-White’s prophecy may yet board a trans-Atlantic aeroplane as nonchatantly as they now cross the gang plank of a trans-Atlantic liner at New York or jlalifax. And the aeroplane will be a one day flier instead of a five day ocean greyhound.—Torento Globe. = ae —————————— a es — A ~ Lh ' { ae +oe ry LYNCH BROS.

According to Captain Bicker- staffe, of the Harrison Direct liner Director, the business of the British Steamship Company be- tween Liverpool and Vancouver is increasing so rapidly that the service via the Straits of Magel- lan will probably be doubled and a fortnightly service inaugurated within the very near future. Seen upon his arrival at Vancouver, the skipper of the Director stated that his vesse! was a full ship when cleared the British coast about April 7th, and he in- timated that the Politician, a much larger vessel, is following with a full cargo. “The business is growing rap- idly, and very shortly there is no doubt that the sailings will be increased and vessels of the line will come here every two weeks. There trade enough offering now for this. When the Panama Canal is completed there will be much more frequent sailings.” The Harrison Direct Line was established last summer, with a view to getting in on the ground floor prior to the opening of the Panama Canal. The Harrison Company operates no than four lines which carry cargo for Pacific coast ports from the United Kingdom, three indirect and the direct line via the tSraits of Magellan, A monthly service in operation to the West Indies; a monthly service to Colon, the At- she less lantic port of the Panama Canal, and a_ tri-weekly to Puerto- Mexico, the Atlantic port} of the Tehuantepec Railroad.
