AIRSHIP TO COME HERE.

Last December thousands of people journeyed thousands of miles to Los Angeles, California, to witness the flight of airships and aeroplanes. It will not be necessary for the people in this vicinity to make this trip or any trip quite so expensive and tedipus to see the wonders of the airship and see the marvelous flight of one. Instead of having to go and see one. it is coming to their very doors and will be here when Downie’s Best Dog and Pony Shows. World of Wonders and Trained Animal Exhibition comes here ‘on Saturday, Oct. 15. This is the one show that does have a flying machine and one of the latest device, and not only has it, but exhibits it daily. There are a number of shows on the road, that use the airship for a feature, but the visitors to the show never see it. It is but an advertising dodge. With the show coming here it is different, The flying machine is seen in all the wonders that have attracted the world. There is no piece of modern mechanism that has excited as much comment as has the wonderful flights of these offered by the governments of the navigators of the air. Millions of dollars have been universe to spur on inventors to perfect one and the brains of the world have been utilized in designing one that would successfully combat with the winds and make speedy and long flights. The one that will be here with the coming show was among the prize wiriners at the recent con-

test in California and is claimed to be the most perfect model that was ever built. Not only are the many intricate pieces that compose it fully demonstrated. It is neither gas not a hot air balloon, such as have been seen at every county fair, but a perfectly equipped air ship of the most improved pattern and was secured by this show at considerable expense. In fact the cost of this feature is greater than the cost of many other shows. It is an opportunity to see the greatest wonder of the age that no one should miss. . Prof. De Goshen, the world's greatest flying machine expert, will give a demonstration of the wonder of the age, the aeroplane, at every performance, both afternoon and evening.
