Many tot the utrects of tho-lty wore
Strewn with broken poles nnd tangled

No less than eight or nlno flro stations
wero cut off from headquarters owing to
th general prostration ' ofi wires, nnd
Hhould a flro break out in tho Isolated dis
tricts -it la feared that great loss would
follow. -The pecuniary loss suffered by the
telegraph and telephone companies will be
very heavy.
Lake Krle was carried lnto'a wild fury
by the .violent atorm. EnormouB waves
dashed ovnr tho harbor breakwater, sending
up spray .to the height of 100 feet or-more.
A crib 200 feet long und about 23
feet wide, which-was anchored at the end
of the eaBt broakwatcr preparatory- to
being sunk, was torn from its fastening and

Kiiru. DUMBARTON, April 20. A flying ma-

at tho launching luncheon. Tho machine
was designed by n young Spaniard named
Vorgara. The machine now building will be
completed and tried within n fortnight
Scnor Vcrgara Is modest and reticent re
garding his Invention, but it can bo Judged
thru it must possess uo little practlcabll
Ity and new ideas to induce a hard-headed
firm lll(o the Dcnnys to take It up.
Senor Vergara said to tho correspondent
of the Associated Press: "My plan is quite
simple and my machine Is equally so. It
Is constructed on the same principle which
enables birds to fly. Thero Is no balloon
or similar device attached. I havo always
believed that aerial navigation is only a
dynamic problem, and I hopo I have solved
It on these lines. This machine now
building at Dumbarton will be propelled
by manual power. It will bo capable of
carrying two men. Wo will eventually sub
stitute a motor for the manual power."
Tho Dcnnys refuse to glvo out any further
Information, but they evidently lay much
storo by this hitherto carofully concealed
experiment In aerial navigation.

them. They carry the individual woes of their
people on their own bhouldcrs aud their lives

I have used Dr. Greene's Ncrvur
blood and nerve remedy and can say that
it gave me entire satisfaction. I have
known others of my acquaintances who
have used it, and they were quite satis

that I think it is a good remedy and I can
and do recommend it to others publicly,
it has benefited mo in nervous dyspepsia
and insomnia. You have permission to
publish this letter for others' good."
F. X. CHAGNON, 1
Pastor of St. Mary's Church, Champlaln, N.V.
A disturbed nervous system makes constant
war on the health of men and women. It keeps
us from getting tho benefit of our food, which is
tho source of all strength. It pulls down our
energy and Impoverishes our blood,
The greatest known help for a lowered tone
of health is Dr. Greene's Neryura blood and
nerve remedy which builds up body and brain in
perfect accord with Naturo's plans. All chronio
troubles yield to this great medicine, because
perfect nerro action and well nourished blood
result from its use. It is the true help for you.
Father Chagnon's public commendation is ths
sincere and earnest expression of his wish to
help all who aro in poor health. In tho midst
of perplexity his words remove doubt. Dr.
Almost unbelievable things aro constantly accord-
