The last great meteor shower occurred In 18G6. There will be another shower of Stars this morning over southeastern Arizona, when the Arizona Daily Star will be shot to its subscribers along a given route, from an aeroplane, and It will mark an epoch in the delivery of newspapers In Arizona. It undoubtedly heralds the coming of the day when newspapers will be whisked by aeroplane from the roofs of newspaper buildings direct to subscriber, while the fragrant printer's ink is still moist.

By an arrangement with the Arizona Aviation company. The Star will be delivered this morning to its subscribers at V'ilmot, Vail, Pan-tano, Catalina, Benson. Dragoon, Cochise. Wilcox and Safford, by airplane. The carrier-plane will be piloted by Howard Davis, one of the company's reliable pilots, and R.

E. Fish-burn, general manager of the company, will go along to direct the distribution of the paper. The plane will leave Tucson at ID o'clock this morning and the papers for subscribers at destination. Safford. will be delivered to subscribers five hours earlier than they normally receive them.

The distance of the trip; as routed, is about one hundred and forty miles. The plane will follow the Southern Pacific right-of-way as far as Wilcox, where it will circle north and make Safford as the last stop. The carrier-plane is an Oriole. It will be the first time in the history of the southwest thatan airplane has delivered newspapers to subscribers on a definite route. The papers will be regularly labeled in The Star's mailing department and will be wrapped with a thin wire to prevent them from being unfolded by the wind in falling, and each paper will bear the imprint "Delivered by Airplane." It is probable that subscribers to The Star at the places a'ong the carrier-plane's route will want to keep their copy of the paper as a souvenir.

The plane will not stop to make deliveries, as it is desired to deliver the papers to subscribers without unnecessary delay, but the oriole will sweep close to the ground and throw lan, Pittman, Pomerene, Ransdell, Smith i further shooting and three officers were (Georgia), Smith (Maryland), Tram-' shot to death and another mortally would make the teacher's lot, financially, i auch that they would be able to always Place the emphasis on the Interests of the child, rather than upon their own material interests. wounded today by security police at the Brandenburg gate.
