THAT'S what you'll be hearing some day when the "SuspendedAuto Motor Railway" Is in operation. It will be a case of "on again, off again,"* for you will have scarcely made yourself comfortable in your seat when, b-r-r, buz-z-z, buz-z-z, and you are flying across the by in midair with the speed of a pun projectile, and almost before you can say "Jack Robinson" you have landed In the Athens of the Pacific Now. that's rather a startling statement. Isn't it? But Fletcher E. Felts, who has looked into the future, says we are going to have such a railway. "Oh. Pshaw,” you say contemptuously, "it's only a dream." But. you know, some dreams come true. Who ever thought men would be able to Ball through under the water of the ocean in safety? They have done so in submarine. Or. whoever thought that men would ever be able to sail through the air at dizzy heights with ease? They are doing so in flying machines. Well, cow that these supposed to be impossible feats have been accomplished, why be skeptical about anything? Fletcher E. Felts is an Inventor—one of the successful kind. He has lived in this city, but is now a resident of Los Angeles. For many years he has believed that his fellow man loses entirely too much time when he travels about the land and that railroads should be constructed that will annihilate both time and space. Felts, imbued with the spirit of Puck, who declared he would "put a girdle round about the earth in 40 minutes," studied mechanics and railroad construction from boyhood. As he grew older, speedy and safe transportation became a bobby with him, and he kept planning tad scheming with a view to having this realized some day.
