At no time was there any semblance of flight, the initial momentum, the lightness of the machine and the sustaining surface of the -wings furnishing the conditions which account for the 100-yard transit of the air-bird from its sixty-foot elevation to the water.

An official statement, made after the test, admitted that the experiment was unsuccessful, but asserted confidence in the ultimate success of the invention. The launching took place at 12:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon from the superstructure of the houseboat moored in the Potomac river, two miles from this place. Fifteen minutes before that everything was cleared for action. Professor Manley was clad in his aeronautical suit of white duck trousers and cork-lined jacket. Professor Langley, who has visited the scene of the test but in frequently since the houseboat carry ing his device and his assistants was taken to Widewater, did not witness the failure of his machine yesterday, but remained in Washington, where he awaited the result.

When all was ready, Professor Man-ley took his place in the navigator's car, which was situated close to the gasoline motor. This motor was well below the principal surface of the machine. It was of the explosion type, weighed 200 pounds and was designed to generate approximately twenty-seven horse-power. Long rods connected it with the propellers, whose blades were about three feet long. The framework of Professor Manley's COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT'S QUARTERLY REPORT.

Professor Manley started the motor, which worked well, the revolutions reaching 1,200 a minute. The big machine moved easily along the track in the launching apparatus and took the air fairly well, but failure was immediately apparent. It turned gradually downward. The declination was so positive that Professor Manley saw at a glance that but few movements of the second of the stop watch he wore on his left knee would be recorded before both he and the scientific ship would be floundering in the waters of the Potomac. Just before the machine struck the water he shut off his motor, which had worked admirably at the outset.

The machine disappeared beneath the waves, but only momentarily. The five conical-shaped floats which had been distributed about the machine to avert its sinking performed their functions well, and the bridge of the machine almost immediately reap peared above the water. It was a moment of anxiety for the safety of the navigator, but fears were instantly relieved as his head emerged above the surface. He had sustained no in jury. His face reflected his disap pointment at the result.

He climbed into a rowboat which had been kept close at hand and was conveyed to the deck of the tug Bartholdi. There he exchanged his dripping clothes for dry garments. An hour later Pro fessor Manley gave out. the following statement 'to the newspapers: It must be understood that the test today was entirely an experiment and the first of its kind ever made. The experiment was successful.

The balancing upon which the success of the flight was based upon the tests of the models and proved to be incorrect, but only an actual trial of the full-sized machine itself could determine this. My confidence in future success of the work is unchanged. I can give you no other information. I shall make a formal report to Secretary Langley. The work of removing the wreck was immediately begun.

Within ten minutes of the mishap, the tugs were pulling away at the debris. By 2 o'clock the disabled machine had been put away in the interior of the houseboat. As it was lifted on the derricks from the water the complete disaster was evident. The big, broad wings which had extended twelve by twenty-two feet were hanging limp beside the frame, the rudder was a wreck, the wire framework a tangled mass and the main body of the machine was badly damaged, though not beyond repair. At practically the same spot, flying machine experiments were conducted on May 6, 1896, at which time Secretary Langley reported that his aerodrome had twice flown over a distance of half a mile.

He Learned a Great Truth. It is said of John Wcslev that once saia to Mistress Wesley: "Why uo you xeii mat child the same thing over and over asrain?" "Tnh woeiflv I .7. ueuause once telling is not enough." it is ior tms reason that you are told again and again that Chamberlain's Cough Remedv that it counteracts any tendency of iuese diseases to result In pneumonia, and that it is pleasant and KflfA tn tane.

UNDE IT FAILED TO FLY PROF. LANGLEY'S AERODROME SUSTAINS ITS REPUTATION. IT FALLS INTO THE RIVER Navigator Manley Gets Ducking But is Uninjured Machine Showed No Symptoms of Flying. Widewater, Oct. 9.

The sixty-foot steel built flying machine, the climax of years of exhaustive study, in the efforts of Professor Samuel F. Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, to solve the problem of mechanical flight in midair, was launched yesterday, and the experiment, carefully planned and delayed for months, proved a complete failure. The immense airship sped rapidly along its seventy-foot track, was carried by its own momentum for 100 yards, and then fell gradually into the Potomac river, whence it emerged a total wreck. Professor Charles M. Manley, who has been Professor Langley's chief assistant in the work preliminary to "the attempted flight, made the ascent as in icn 1 5 I IS -1 ill i.V i a.
