PORTLAND. oct. 25-Acting under
orders issued from the headquarters Of
the Chinese Reform Association at

are preparing to cut their queues off
during the New Years celebration IN
February. The order affects all Chi

The queue is a mark Of submission to
the reigning power and the reform

They have determined to work through

HOW THE AIRSHIP FLEW TEN MILES

ST. LOUIS, Mo, oct 25-The Arrow,
Captain Thomas 5. Baldwin's huge air
ship, today traveNd more than ten
miles about the exposition grounds,
over the city's business sections, across
the Mississippi river, through East St.
Louis and suburbs, alighting near Ca
hokia, Ill.
This is the first really successful ae-
ronautic flight ever made in the Unit
ed States. The machine was operated
by A. Roy Knabenschue of Toledo,
Ohio. 1t is built on the model of that
with which Captain Baldwin sailed
about San Francisco, has been on eX-
hibition at the fair, and is entered in
the 100000 contest
In the clear autumn day the great
cigar shaped bag which supplied the
sustaining power of the machine could
be seen outlined against the sky, and
several hundred thousand persons
watched it as it floated eastward over
the busy down town section and across
the Mississippi until It was lost to view
on the east side.
The white propelers and rudder of
the machine could be clearly seen, and
the form of the operator stood out
clear and distinct as he worked his
complicated apparatus and made the
great silken receptacle above him turn
and return at his pleasure. The excite
ment caused by the appearance of the
balloon just at the noon hour, when
the streets were liveliest, was extreme,
and when it was seen that the operator
was trying desperately to send his air
ship back over its course to the
Worlds Fair, and that something was
the matter with the steering apparatus,
making it impossible for him to fly
against the wind, though he turned
westward half a dozen times, thou
sands became anxious for his fate.
1t was quite plain to the crowds that
Knabenschue was i'm trouble and that
he was trying desperately to, avoid
sailing over the river. The balloon,
which at first pointed directly east
ward from the Worlds Fair aerodrome,
seemed now to be drifting with the
wind rather than moving at its opera
tors pleasure As the pointed end of
the great buff colored bag was seen
slowly turning westward cheers went
up from the crowds in the streets.
Slowly the wind turned the balloon
around till its nose was pointed soutl
by east. But again the operator
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-11-12

peror to promote him to that posi-
ton.
The exlled officials, of whom Zip Yin
is one will be returned to the country
and appointed to official positions of
honor. 1t will be a dark day for the
present dynasty when this occurs.
What happened in Servia may be re-
peated i'm China if all does not go well.
But the reformers deem even murder
a legitimate channel through which to
gain their ends, which they announce
will be humanitarian and a help to
civilize their nation.
1t is the intention, as soon as the
association is in power, to throw China
open to the world, to make an effort
to have the United States repeal the
exclusion laws, to attempt to gain adj
mission for Chinese young men of in
telligence in American schools and in
the army and navy schools of instruc-
ton in the countries of the world in
order to advance in efficiency China's
army and navy and prepare the empire
for a commercial revolution.
A portion of the plans of the assO-
citation has leaked out from members
in San Francisco, while a few days ago
at Pendleton, Oregon additional dis
closures were made
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-11-12

guiding hand turned the great silken
inflated cigar westward and homeward.
The watching crowds held their breadth
in eagerness and anxiety.
In another moment the balloon was
drifting again. 1t was apparent that
though he could turn his machine at
will the operator could not sail it
against the strong wind. 1t was then
seen that he had abandoned his effort
to return to the Worlds Fair aero
drome.
An hour later, having held his bal
loon square in the jaws of the wind and
crossing the river and sailing over the
business and dwelling houses Of the
East Side, Mr. Knabenschue descended
leisurely and quite safely in a corn
field a bit south of East st. Louis.
Had Knabenschue been able to sail
his airship baC.- over the course he
traversed i'm leaving the Worlds Fair
the test would have been absolutely
perfect and so gratifying that none
could have doubted his complete COM
mand of the ship and his power to di-
rect it at pleasure. But, even as it
was, competent judges of the trial say
it was the most remarkable that has
even been accomplished on this side of
the Atlantic and that the weakness of
the mechanism can be corrected at
once.
The Baldwin balloon, it is declared,
will then quite capable of competing
with any airship in the world.
After Mr.. Knabenschue's return to
the aerodrome late this evening he
stated that the balloon Obeyed his
every wish till the drive chain con-
Meeting the propeller and the motor
broke again.
Experts say that when the one de-
monstrated weakness in the motor is
remedied Captain Baldwin will have a
perfect dirigible airship. This, they
assert will be very easy to perfect.
The balloon is cigar shaped of Japan
csc silk, fifty-four feet I'm length, AMI
seventeen feet in diameter, and re.
quires eight thousand cubic feet of gas
to initiate it. The frame attac lment il
