One of the most interesting topics in
Chicago for a fortnight has been Roy
Knabenshue and his airship. He
seems to have satisfied the public that
he has made substantial progress in the
problem of aerial navigation, as his
flights this week have shown that IN
favouable weather he has excellent
control of his machine. On Thursday
he circled slowly over the White City
several times, made quite an extended
flight, changing his direction several
times, and on the return landed within
twenty feet of the starting point: The
flights cause great excitement in the
vicinity Of the university, and the ship
is a universal topic Of conversation.
