Lafayette Boy Building A Flying Machine.

Harry Roth, the young Lafayette inventor, is making rapid progress on his flying machine, which for some time he has been working on at his repair shop on Main street. He will build all of it except the engine, and while he is not making any boasts, he hopes to turn out a machine that will be the equal of any that have been made. Some time ago Mr. Roth saw the aviation exhibition in Indianapolis and took a ride in one of the machines. While he was soaring above the clouds he was taking observations, and he is now putting bis conclusions into practical shape. He has completed the propeller, wings and several other parts, and expects to have the whole thing done in two weeks. It will be like a Wright model.—Courier.
