There seems to be craze for balloon
inc this summer, and the disastrous
ending Of several asronautical trips has
Eot yet had much effect in checking it.
Early in June Frenchman named
L'Hosts tried TO cross the English Chan
mel in balloon. but after being tossed
about In thunder storm he came down
in the sea, and was rescued Just in the
nick Of timc by passing steamship.
Not long afterward party OF balloon
lists started from Marseilles to cross part
Of the Mediterran an, and they, too,
ended their trip in the sea, but were
rescued. Still later q man ascended
which hurst after rising TO hight of
1000 feet, and the body OF tie aeronaut
was found in creek. On the Fourth
Of July Prof. Owings made n balloon
ascension from keokuk. A farmes
near Burnside brought the balloon down
With shotgun. but the Professor had
disappeared, and il WAS believed tina,
hs had fallen out On the same day
Mr.. A. ID. Davis Of Chicago and Miss
Ross kennedy of Springfield, being APP
pareutly Of an unusually romantic turn,
asoeudcd from Cleveland in balloon
with Prof. King for the purpose Of being
married in the air. We are glad TO
learn that after the ceremony was per
formed the couple made successful
bridal trip in the balloon, and got safe
ly bsrk TO the ground. But only one
successful trip ont of Eve is hardly an
encouraging showing for those that
think there is a great future for aeron-
auts.
