Prof. +. r. Hagai, more commonly known as
the king OF the Clouds" who successfully
visited the clouds one week ago and
returned i'll safety, repeated his balloon
ascension and parachute jump yesterday after
noon, arising near Beede's pavilion and alight-
ng safely in Lake Washington. Several thou.
sand people witnessed the thrilling aerial trip.
Professor Hsgal had the balloon inflated and
his parachute attached in good shape at 6
O'Clock, and a few moments later the rope no d.
ing the ar-ship in position was cut loose and
in an instant the daring aeronaut was thou-
sand feet above the earth. Then the balloon
seemed to stop in its trip toward the sky, aud
the professor released the parachute aud started
on his return trip. Half the distance was passed
before the parachute opened and lessened his
lightning-liKe descent towards the waters
of Lake Washington. His speed then
gradually decreased, and when he was
a hundred feet above the water he was coming
down as easily as imaginable. He struck the
water less than 100 yards from shore when.
with the assistance of the life-preserver around
his body, he was soon on terra firma The
balloon and parachute were picked up soon
after.
Fully four thousand people crowded them
selves into cort's Lake Washington Casino yes.
