Lana followed the mayor just now, and I suppose she is insisting on a double detail of police." The Senator promptly followed, too, to find out more exactly what Lana was insisting on. "Haven't you joined your rabble yet, Morrison?" Corson queried, insolently, when he came upon the two. "I'm going, sir going right along!"
This was written in the thirteenth century, and it is scarcely edifying to find four hundred years after this the Jesuit Father Lana, who contrived to make his name live in history as a theoriser in aeronautics, arrogating to himself the bold conception of the English Friar, with certain unfortunate differences, however, which in fairness we must here clearly point out.
Lana, do you very kindly explain to the unfortunate Ensign that you and I were accustomed at Otsego to a popularity and an adulation of which he has no conception. Colonels and majors were at our feet. Inform him very gently, Lana." "Yes," said Lana, "you behaved very indiscreetly at Otsego Camp, dear one sitting alone for hours and hours over this young gentleman's letters "
A subsequent investigation corroborated it to the extent of finding out the vessel in which his brother Ernest Lana had come over from South America. The ship's doctor was able to testify that he had complained of a weak heart during the voyage, and that his symptoms were consistent with such a death as was described. As to Dr.
It was the first letter which he had ever known Dr. Lana to have from abroad and this was the reason why his attention was particularly called to it before he handed it to the local postman. It was delivered by the evening delivery of that date. Next morning that is, upon the 4th of June Dr.
My isolation from the regiment, as I say, was now more than compensated by the presence of the ladies at Croghan's house. And Lois had now been lodged with them for more than a week. How much of her sad history Mrs. Bleecker had seen fit to impart to Lana Helmer and Angelina Lansing I did not know. But it seemed to be generally understood in the garrison that Lois had arrived from Albany on Mrs.
The seventeenth century, however, gives us three names, those of Borelli, Lana, and Robert Hooke, all of which take definite place in the history of flight. Borelli ranks as one of the great figures in the study of aeronautical problems, in spite of erroneous deductions through which he arrived at a purely negative conclusion with regard to the possibility of human flight.
From this it can be easily seen how it is possible to construct a machine which, fashioned like unto a ship, will float on the air. With four globes of these dimensions Lana proposed to make an aerial ship of the fashion shown in his quaint illustration. The tap is then closed before the lower end of the tube is removed from the water, leaving no air at all in the globe or sphere.
Besides, Lana did ever raise the devil beyond bounds with any man she could ensnare and no harm done." "No harm," I said. "Walter Butler had a hurt of her bright eyes, and sulked for months. And many another, Mrs. Bleecker. But somehow, Mr. Boyd "
After the prolonged wait, Senator Corson's voice sounded, high-pitched, urgent. His appeal was broken short off. Lana stared at Mrs. Stanton while making futile efforts to get a reply to frantic questions; fear paled the girl's face and widened her eyes. "What has happened, Lana?" "It's father!
