FLIGHT OVER THE IRISH 'SEA.-
By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright.
'.'-, London, September 111 Mr. Robert Loraine, actor and aviator, biplaned from Holyhead, North Wales, to Ireland. '.
' The aeroplane, with its unexpectedly rapid descents, is banning a new terror to pedestrians I n numbers of aviators have .been fined: for flying over the city, and the opinion of the German police is that cross-country ■ flights unduly endanger the security of the public ■m •streets, highways, and open places, and that aeroplanes, which may at any moment drop unawares on the heads of pedestrians, are as much a danger to the law-abiding community as , 'the 1 ' illicit carrying oi jfirearms. The German Aerial Engineers Society intends petitioning the Reichstag for legislation to remedy this state of .things, as it is felt that the progress of German airmanship is materially obstructed by the existence of the present archaic laws. ■
