THE RIGHT TO FLY.

“Has every man a right to fly if he can, and if so, where?” asks the “Morning Post.” These arc questions with which at no distant date tho lawyers will have to deal, for until some answer has been given to them it. will not bo easy to answer the perhaps harder question Avhethcr a foreigner has a right to fly into the air above great Britain, or a British subject to fly into the air above a foreign country. The fact that no less than eleven aeronauts recently flow from Cala’s across the English Channel and, landed in England, and that seven of them con tinned the aerial journey as lar as Hendon, is it remarkable proof of the advance in the art of flying and of tho science of constructing flying machines. Tho law of all countries will* therefore soon have to begin adapting itself to the new conditions of movement.
