"Said Pasha.”
The Thompson Opera company sang
“Said Pasha” to a small audience at
the opera house last night with the
same people in their cast as were seen

production is the new and very fine
scenery which has been added. Miss
Blanche Chapman rendered a very
sweet song “How Deep Within My
Heart” and Will 8. Rising sung “Mi
Alma” a tenor solo with great
bravura. The comedy was scattered
into the opera profusely by Frank
David and Ed. Gavan while Joseph
8. Greensfelder materially assisted
them. Miss Carrie Godfrey’s voice
was heard to very good advantage in
part second of the opera and she
proved an admirable selection for her
part as the “Ideal Queen.”
The opera is to be repeated tonight
followed tomorrow night Saturday
and Sunday by Evangeline.

Speed and Power of Birds.
Prof. It. H. Thurston in the January Forum.
The vulture is said toffy at times
at the rate of about 100 miles an hour;
the wild goose aud the swallow in
their migrations make 90 miles an
hour and the carrier pigeon has cer-
tainly flown long distances at rates of
speed ranging from 60 up to 80 miles
an hour and tor many hours together.
The common crow ordinarily lounges
across country at the rate of 25 miles
an hour the speed of a railway train.
Prof. Langley finds that the power
exerted by the eagle in full flight is
but a fraction of one horse-power.
Air. Chanute computes the power ex-
erted by a pigeon flying 2200 feet per
minute 25 miles per hour nearly at
1-200 of a horse-power per pound
or ft 1-2 horse power fbr a
flying machine of equally good
form weighing one ton at 25 miles
an hour or about 50 horsepower per
ton weight al 50 miles. Mr. Wen-
ham a member of the British Aero-
nautical society finds in the pelican
an expenditure of 1-11 horse-power
by 21 pounds of bird and this is one
horse-power to 231 pounds or about
a horse-power for the weight of a
man allowing ample margin for sur-
plus power. The birds are found to
nave a surplus lifting power of about
one-half. Prof. Langley has pur-
chased recently for the Smithsonian
institution the prize steam engine of
the Aeronautical society of 1868
which with car aud screws weighs
only 16 pounds and but 13 without
these essentials. To the engineer
these facts certainly look encourag-
ing.
