On Sept. 24 he made really about thirty-five miles, for the strong wind forced him to LOVING TRIBUTES make wide turns with his aeroplane. So Wilbur Wright has all the in- entors of flying machines "up in tn air." so to speak. In their letter the aviators of the French Aero club niea mouaana or queries concerning-the condition of the patient, and hundreds of cablegrams and telegrams were sent by the family to Inquiring1 friends throughout the United States and abroad.

Not a piano or other musical instrument could be heard for many rods because all realized the gravity of the situation and all the neighbors wished to contribute not the slightest disturbance to the ease and comfort of their beloved friend and neighbor. Even the little children played, not In front of their homes but conscious of rhe situation, ambled to other streets for indulgence in their miniature armies, their doll house construction, their hobby horse rides, their pports and games.

With spontaneity these little folks seemed to act conscious, fully conscious, of the impending danger. Even grown-ups tiptoed past the modest white painted Wripht home and a singular stillness pervaded the atmosphere save for the ring, row here, now there, of a telephone bell in its mission of Inquiry. Today a pensive, sad stillness pervaded the neighborhood and a pall was cast over the whole city. At the Wright home friends, neighbors, called but did not ask to enter, preferring to leave the members of the family alone for the time being In their own grief.
