T T" '&lffiWV' f" DAILY CAPITAL JOOTMA SALEM, OREGON, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBEB 2, 1901 MS lfHf iS SENSATIONAL VOYAGE MADE IN MID AIR 8t. Louis, Nov. 2. Baldwin's air ship, "California Arrow," wag caused by Itfl co'mmander A. Hoy Knabensbuc, ' of Tdledo, Ohio, to perform n number ',of very 'remarkable evolutions during $tho trial of Tuesday afternoon. The vrlnd was blowing from tho northwest tat tho rate of ten miles an hour, rap jidly Increasing to 18; but in tho teeth of tlo brcozo tho vessel moved easily back and forth at tho height of from 300 feet and upwards over tho exposi tion grounds, anil twice returned near ly to tho point from which it set out. Just as it had described in tho air a lingo figure eight for tho second time ' tho spark of tho gasollno cngino was '"raised n little too high and tho mtftor censed to work, tho vessel being at the ' timo about 000 feet nbovo tho Pluza of 8t. Anthony between tho pnlnces of Transportation and Varied Industries. Hut tills accident only served to em- phnsizo tho triumph; for even then, nf- 5 ter tho propelling apparatus could no "'longer bo used and tho mnchino was ', ndrift on tho wind, tho ncronaut was still able, simply by tho shifting of bis own weight and tho manipulation t, of tho rudder and tho ballast, to turn f tho craft around, rniso nnd lower it in J I tho air, and to control, to n considcrn-, ' bio extent, tho direction of its move ment. Mr. Knabcnshuo decided just whero it was best to land, nnd at 2:50 gently sank down at Valley Junction, j Kast St. LouIb, and alighted without i tho slightest injury to cither himsolf or tho machine. Could .tho motor have been used a 'throughout tho trip tho landing would lmvo bcoii mndo without any difficulty in iho Aeronautic grounds at tho same point from which tho ascension hnd taken place. Tho ascent and evolutions wero wit- :l nessed bv thousands of exposition vis itors, and greatest enthusiasm was aroused by tho perfect bucccsh with which tho apparatus was propelled in any desired direction, either with, across or against tho wind, so long as tho onglno remained in order. Tliu California Arrow is tho prop erty of Captain T. 8. Baldwin nnd hns been constructed lifter his plans, rep resenting tho Html outcome of 30 years of study and experimentation. It hns u clgur-shiipcd gasbag of varnished Tnpanoso silk, about !i" feet long and J7 fcollu diameter, with a capacity of 8000 cubic feet. On tho uppor surface and tit tho ends of tho silk is doubled, nnd nt the points of greatest strain trebled. Tho car, 40 feet long, is n light framework of whito cedar braced with piano wire. It is, in section, u perfect cqullntoral triangle, so that tho whoio is in the shape of n right prism, save that it grows smaller and AS TO COLDS Feed a cold yes, but feed it with Scott's Emul sion. Feeding a cold in this way kills it. You cannot afford to have a cough or cold at this season or any other. Scott's Emulsion will drive it out quickly and keep it out. Weak lungs arc strengthened and all wasting diseases are checked by Scott's Emulsion. It's a great' flesh producer. Wll nd you a MinnU frtt.

Haaser, Prop. smaller towards tho ends. It Is pulled through the air by a two-blnded silk propeller, ll-'fec't from tip to tip, set at an angles of 20 'degrefea at the front end of tho 'car. Tho draught of air caused by its 200 revolutions a min ute, serves to prevent explosions by constantly cooling the Ilcrculcs gaso lino cngino set about eight feet from tho forward end of the car. Tho engine weighs only 00 pounds, but performs 2300 revolutions a, minute nnd has a working capacity of seven horsepower. Tho aeronaut hns u scat nnd conning platform about 12 or 13 feet further back, 'and he can movo from one end to tho other of tho car nt will, though n change of position of loss than two feet is sufficient to cause the craft to ascend or descend in tho air by raising or lowering tho elevation of tho beak. At tho rear there is a rudder of six feet by ten, mndo of light ennvns stretched on n bamboo frame. The to tal weight of tho whole apparatus Is only about 220 pounds. Tho maximum speed thus -far attained, by means of its own ongincs, not taking tho wind into account, is 12 miles an hour, but tho usual rate is only about eight miles "an hour. Tho success achieved, confirming the sensational reports of previous trials mado at Oakland, Cnl., is all the more remarkable, in view of tho fact that tho metcoriiogical conditions wero pe culiarly unfavorable, owing to the strong nnd shifty winds and tho inter mingling currents of nlr of different temperatures,' causing n constantly vn rying pressu'ro of tho gas. Moreover, tho California Arrow is little more than n small nnd cheaply-built ( working modol. With a well-mndo cngino nnd thoroughly up-to-dnto carburator, such as those with which ono of tho Inrgcr Haldwin airships, now at Los Angeles, Cnl., is being equipped, such acci- dents as that of yesterday will no longer bo liable to occur. The Baldwin airship will henceforth ninko ascensions hero 'every two or tlireo days, when the wenther is pleas ant, until tho end of November, per forming nil sorts of revolutions nbovo tho exposition grounds, und making trips to neighboring towns. It is ac knowledged by tho exposition authori ties to lmvo fully qualified for a place among the contestants for tho $100,000 prize, which will bo hotly disputed during the great aeronautic contests of November. Three other dirigiblo bal loons, tho Bonbow, rrnncois and Rey nolds, of much larger size und entirely different patterns ,nro already here and will begin to make ascensions as soon us the gns-gencrating plant is in Working order, which will probably be tho first of next week. The Baldwin airship will not wait for that time, but will continue generating its own hy drogon gas by tho vitriol method. Bolides tho dirigiblo balloons tho Avery noroplano is to make trinl glides daily, morning and afternoon, from this time forward, in tho Pluzn of St. I.nuU, and the Undeno-l'nwell man lifting kites are to bo operated a lit tle Inter on, so that the,- air of St. Louis will bo moro iibupdnntly nnd di versely navigated during tho coming five weeks than that of any part of tho world has ever been in nn equnl space of time. Substantial ovidenco of tho real di rigibility of a properly-constructed aer ial craft, von under diverso conditions, have already been furnished, nnd, Mr. Baldwin himself recoguiros that some of his rivals have lilt upon principles, of which ho Vuis never inudo use, that are nothing less than epoch-making contributions to tho aeronaut is. art. It is oxtroniely probable that tho demonstrations now being mndo nt the world's fair will mark tho beginning of nnow epoch of serious and practi cal aerial navigation. Tho pioneers in this field sutler groat disadvantages from tho difficulty of gutting competent workmen, nnd tho necessity of putting up with relatively erudo and uusutis factory mcehnuluul appliaucos. As tho muuuiinUm is perfected, through tho lottMHH of experience nnd by the sub VeiitiluiH Hiiro to eomo from the groat moneyed interests when tho business value of the idea ami, tho entire feasi bility of its practical application shall have beau gouernlly recognized, tho airship will become moro nnd moro safe and fllsiuiit, and will pas rapidly from tho pogltiou of a scientific toy and pop ular wonder to that of a useful means uf transportation.
