Flying bicycle to be developed
New York reports on George White of Long Island testing a foot powered flying bicycle with flapping wings. The device, built in a Florida test, weighs 17 pounds and uses a 14 foot wing span with a celluloid skin, aiming for 30 to 40 mph with potential compressed air assist. White, MIT graduate and former Army aviator, funds the project and warns against sensational claims while pursuing fundamental aerodynamics research.

Castle Built for German Empress Falls Into Decay
In Homburg Germany the castle Schloss Friedrichshof built for Empress Victoria is decaying as the grand duchess of Hesse, its heir, cannot afford upkeep. Saltpeter in walls and required warmth demand coal, pushing the family to live in the nearby smaller palace once used by the empress’s master of ceremonies.
