THE FLYING MACHINE ERA.
If Mr Goldstone's ideas bo correct —which of course we cntartain no small doubts respecting—the velocipede era will soon be superseded. This gentleman writes from Arrow River, to the Otaqo Daily Times as follows : —" Sir, with no small consternation I observed in a late issue of your paper that the Executive is again occupied with a Railway Scheme. Not only is the way they have taken up the question to be condemned, and ought to be put a stop to, but the idea itself may now bo anticipated, -since something better, cheaper, and also more expeditious, can be provided. Sir, I can without boasting state that my efforts to construct a flying machine aro to be crowned with success. The construction of the machine is so cheap that I may woll be excused from going into the particulars thus publicly. Naturally averse to boasting, I may briefly inform your readers, and the world at large, that the machine is fast approaching completion, and that in the course of next month this grand problem will be satisfactorily solved by me."
