BALLOON EXPERIMENTS. We are in
formed that Mons. Lo. 0. Flirpana, an
ingenious :c1onnut from Denmark, who
has Been for considerable time quietly
experimenting upon the various modes,
not OF raising the wind" but making
the wind raise him. has SO far perfected
his scheme that he will make u trial trip
to-day. from the vacant grounds, corner
OF Lady and Galsden streets. 1t has
been found necessary to select this
somewhat inconvenient spot, owing to
the proximity Of the gas-house and the
necessity for supply OF this rather i'm.
portnnt article in his operations. The
ascension will probably take place be.
tween 2 and o'clock-we have no,
been notified OF the exact hour. The
object OF the experiment is to demon.
strate the ability, hitherto undiscovered,
OF directing ;csial machines at will, and
thus reuder them available for military
reconnoissances, and even for travel.
Mons. Lo. 0. Flirpana will probably
sail above the tops Of the houses, rest
for awhile Oh one of our church spires.
perhaps on the fiat top of one OF the
towers OF the new City Hall. aud other.
wise illustrate the value Of his invention.
The drivers OF vehicles arc requested not
to run over the India rubber tubes that
will connect the gas-house with the ma
chine. and spectators will be required to
keep within the limits TINT may be pre-
scribed by the guard in attendance.
