OF THINGS TO COME ~~
In a “speech. given last week to members of the Saanich
Peninsula’ branch of the Canadian: Legion, H. Sandham ”
: Graves: spoke of several possible developments in avi iation.
~My, Graves. is not only an accomplished speaker, he is
-also a flyer.. What-he has to say on flying is backed up by
fighter pilot experience. Speaking to ‘his ‘‘old cronies” at
‘the Legion, he mentioned that, in his opinion, the plane
‘of the future would have its own engine room, much the
same as that on the ocean liner. Power generated there
would be easily controlled and watched and distributed
throughout the aircraft.
He also told of the vastness of the skyways of the world,
how, above 40,000 feet altitude, clear atmosphere, and no
mountain ranges would make flight safe, and so broaden
“man’s mind and make closer his ties with his fellow man.,
Tt is with respectful humility to this distinguished
vo speaker. that we record here a thought which we have long

wished to express. .

yo Power and speed are the fundamental agents still
fequived to keep a heavier-than-air machine off the
~ ground.
. lisis this principle which we would argue. Once off the
»pround the aircratt still needs power to conquer head winds,
».ete., but, the terrific energy required to “take-off” is all
“important.

_ With-the passing of the machine age, and the advent
scoff the chemical age, we look for the first news of the man,
ho, in some bungling attempt, learns to conquer gravity!

“The very thought is intoxicating—for not only is this

“ world, with its globe encircling airways rendered safely

passable, but the magnitude of other worlds and other
‘ spaces will. also be ours to explore.

 A->new compass will be needed! A super “beam.”

‘Men will gradually tune their earthbound thoughts to the

“infinite.

. A startling thought, and one only to be expressed by
those’ who. have never flown.

' OUT OF THE MIST |

By KIPPER.

There are many Indian legends recorded by far more capable authors

than your correspondent,

by an aged Indian some 20 years ago on this coast.

I was then a fisherman who logged a bit and trapped a bit and
beachecombed up and duwn this coast of British Columbia,

It was Christmas time and I was tied up at Klemtu—then called

confection made from berries from the interior of the province, whipped
into a lather and eaten, with yusto,

of how fire came to the Indians.

“During the day, a blackfish, whether in earnest or in play, upset
the neglectful Indinn’s canoe and he went to the bottom of the ocean,

“He staggered along the bottom, walking over rocks and barnacles,
towards a great light he could see through the murky depths.
