THEIR TRIP.
Two Hundred Students Went to New.
port-Things They saw and did.

The railroad excursion to New
port, given annually by the senior
class at the college, transpired Sat
z1rday. The number of excursionists
zoo was conveyed On a train of four
coaches. The start was made from
Corvallis at six o'clock, and the
arrival at Newport was at 1890.
The college band was along, and
the trip down the bay from va
quina City was enlivened by ex-
cellent music. A gayer crowd of
people probably never clambered
from the steamer on to the docks
at Newport.
The students had seven hours
stay at the seaside, and they made
the most of it. Some of them had
never seen the ocean before, and
the pleasure they drew from the
experience was more than mani.
fest. The time was spent in row.
ing and sailing on the bay, in walk
ing on the beach, in surf bathing
and in search for rhododendrons
with which everybody came home
with a bountiful supply. On the
beach a number of the boys lined
up for a hundred yard dash and the
outcome brought new sprinter to
the front. He is Chambers, a
member of the band. who took the
heat in spite of the fact that Moores
and Darby. well known runners
were in the contest.
The day at Newport was very
warm. and the trip home was in
measure uncomfortable. The ar
rival at Corvallis was at ten o'cleck.

FOUR MIL ES HIGH.
The Balloon Wouldn't Stop Ascend
ing-One of Aeronaut Miller's
Experiences,

The man who is to make the
balloon ascension inCorvallis Friday
is an old and experienced hand at
ballooning. He is Professor Frank
Miller, well known in Oregon as an
aeronaut. He has made no less
than IS ascensions at the State
Fair grounds at Salem. He has
,ballooned in almost every town in
Oregon, except Corvallis. He
made at Dallas last Friday
what is reported in the papers to
have been one of the best ascensions
ever made in Oregon. He ascend
ed to a height Of $500 feet, and
from that elevation made beauti-
full parachute jump.
Prof. Miller's first ascension
was made in St, Louis 23 years
ago. The event was at the instance
of a newspaper, and was for adver-
tising purposes. In his experience
Prof. Miller has had numerous ac-
cidents. but so far has survived
them all. His ribs have been cav
ed in, his limbs have been repeat
ed1y broken, but to the profess
siona1 balloonist, these are minor
matters. One of the most terrible
of all his experiences was many
years ago when the failure of some
of the appliances about the balloon
to work, he was carried far higher
than it is ever the purpose of aer-
onauts to go. The balloon was a
gas affair In such, valve at the
top is worked from the basket be-
low for letting out gas to permit
the lowering of the balloon. In
the basket were Prof. Miller, an
other aeronaut and two newspa-
per reporters. When the desired
elevation was reached an effort
was made to open the valve and
lower the balloon, but it failed.
The valve would not yield to the
efforts of the aeronauts, and the
balloon continued on its flight up
ward. Higher and higher it rose
while the men vain1y tugged at the
connecting wire. Thinner and
thinner grew the air as the great
balloon scared further and further
into the sky. A height of four
miles was reached and the instru-
ment for measuring the elevation
bursted. Still the balloon flew up
ward until the valve in the top
yielded, a portion of the gas was
permitted to escape, and the de-
ssent began, When they finally
reached the ground, one of the re.
porters was dead and Miller and
the other newspaper man were but
little better, the latter dying a week
later,
The balloon to be used in the
ascension Friday morning is 56 feet
in diameter, or I68 feet in circum-
ference. In its construction
200 yards of cloth was used
It is inflated with hot air. It is
capable of lifting about three people J
In the parachute jump to be
made during the ascent an eleva-
ton of I, 900 feet is necessary for
the jump to be successful. The
ascent will be made in the morn
ing in order to avoid the wind that
so frequently blows in the after
noon.
