Fatal Accident to an Astoria
Aeronaut.

Successful Experiments With

FELL LIKE A ROCKET.

Friday IL Astoria =. Weston Dggett,
the aeronauT, met with an accident which
will in ali probability bring his para
chute-jumping to close. An ascension
and parachute jump was advertised for
5 o'clock, but the usual delay occurred,
and it was7 o'clock before everything
was in readiness. A large crowd had as
sembled, from among whom the aero
naut collected $28. He was dissatisfied
with this, and, before ascending, made
a short speech, stating that he had not
been treated with great degree OF liber.
ality. "There is not enough in the
money subscribed" he remarked, ito
pay my funeral expenses, but I'm going
up, anyway" When about to start,
Diggett's attention was called to one OF
the parachute ropes, which had been
broken. Never mind" he said, let
her CO." The balloon wac then lei loose
and ascended to height OF about 1000
feet. A slight current Of air carried it in
eoutherly direction, and, when short
distance south OF the schoolhouse, the
parachute was disconnected.
For the first 800 feet 1t came down like
a rocket, and the cry, Hes killedP
| went up lrOn uunurtus VI tuIuauc. wv
parachute then became partially filled
and the descent was somewhat checked
| It was seen that the ropes had become
twisted, but the aeronaut retained hil
| self-posseseion, and, by swinging, en-
deavored to get the ropes into position
In this he was unsuccessful, end he CAM
down with succession of lightning.likt
flights. When about 100 feet from th'
ground, the aeronaut seemed to hav
lost his power to check his descent, ant
he fell with a terrible thud on one of th
hills south of the residence portion c
the city. He was quickly picked vi
and conveyed to ST. Mary's hospital
but the exact nature of his injuries can
not yet be stated. The legs are though
to be driven up into the hips, the collar
bone broken, and it is feared that in
ternal INJURIES have been sustained.

A BALLOON KITE.
Interesting Experiment Made at Port.
land. Maine.

Interesting Experiment Made at Fort.
land, Maine.
Charles l.. Lamson performed feat at
Portland, Me-, practically demonstrating
that large airship or kite capable OF
carrying a man can be hoated successfully
and steadily. He raised his ship with a
dummy man on it 800 feet. The re-
tanning rope broke when the ship was at
that sltitudc. Had II not been for this
break Mr.. Lamson would have sent up a
man to navigate his ship. As it was, w.
A. Eddy, an authority on aerial experi-
ments, declared that Lamson's achieve
ment was the greatest etep toward solving
the problem of aerial navigation of age.
Two records, at all events, Lamson made.
He flew the largest kite or airship ever
floated; he carried by means OF this kite
the heaviest weight to the greatest alti.
tude on record.
The kite when in the cir resembles
two large boxes parallel to each other
and attached in the middle. II took 15
men to carry the ship into the field from
which it was to be sent up. The retain.
ing cord was a large braided window
cord, tested to pull 500 pounds. This
was made fast to huge reel, and four
men attended to 1t.
About 400 feet Of rope was run out
along the ground and at signal from
Lamson the the ship was released. It
quivered moment, and then steadily
rose skyward Seated on the car OF the
ship was dummy, weighted to 150
pounds The ship carried it without
perceptible jar. it rose to an altitude OF
600 feet, and was rising steadily when
with sudden gust Of wind, snap went
the rope, showing what tremendous
pressure was brought upon it by the
ship. The ship foated out half mile
and descended as easily and gracefully IS
1t went up. Had man been in the car
be would not have been harmed in the
slightest.

he had great deal of trouble with pune
lures and leaks, urtil he was almost per-
suaded to throw his wheel away. Final
ly he procured some very thick molasses,

and poured lot Of the stuff into the tire

certain he had enough run in to cover
the interior, he shut it off. When the
molasses assumed its thick condition, it

lan Maclaren,s New Story

Ian Blaclaren's new short etory, the last
he will write until after bis American
visit, was secured by The Ladies' Home
journal, for republication In the October
and November issues. II is called "The
Minister Of St. Bede's," and is paid to be
in the brightest and cleverest MaclaFen-
esque vein. Besides its charm ss de-
lightful romance, the story is said to be
notable for the admirable character that
the author has created for the chief per.
