chine was made by Zellweger at his
home, lie worked with only com
mon tools and without the aid of a
blueprint. He installed a Curtis
motor.

his plane out of the shed where he
had constructed it, and tuned up the
motor. With his brother, b rank, as
a passenger. Zellweger glided down
the lengtn ot the pasture ana pointed
the nose of machine upward. It glid
ed off the starting field and rose as
gracefully as the most expensive fac
tory produced type. For 10 minutes
the two sailed about at an aitituae oi
1.000 feet. The day following he
made another successful flight.
