THE MODERN ICARUS.

"After an hour's flight over the frozen Conception Bay and

the town of St. John's, Mr. Hawker made a perfect landing. He

appeared more than over confident of success."--_Daily Paper_.

"General admiration and sympathy is extended to Mr. Tawker

due to his frankness regarding his progress towards making

the trans-ocean flight."--_Sunday Paper_.

We trust our contemporaries are not in a conspiracy to represent the

gallant aviator as a hot-air man.

"Presently, when aviation becomes a commonplace, the fares

will come down."--_Daily Dispatch_.

That's just what makes us so nervous.
