We are glad to notice that Mr. Churchill is about

to intro- duce a Bill to prevent flying in London at the time of the Coronation, and that the Aero Club of the United Kingdom is also trying to prevent accidents like that which has happened in France. Of course, the Aero Club has no absolute jurisdic. tion over exhibition flights, at which very often the greatest dangers to the spectators exist ; but as it can withhold its certificate from all airmen who disregard its rulings and re- commendations it can control the science of flying among all the more reputable airmen. To prevent flying over London at the time of the Coronation is particularly necessary. A* aeroplane falling on a crowded stand might quite easily kill a hundred people.
