UP IN A BALLOON FOR SCIENCE
Two Philadelphia Doctors Make "a
Notable Ascension from
that Town

balloon trip which is expected to have
wide results in the aeronautic world was
made July % by Dr. Samuel Jottinger and
DR.. T. Chalmers Fulton, both well known
physicians of Philadelphia and graduates
of the Jefferson Medical college. Their
trip was distinguished from balloonlng for
the mere sport and it was made in the
interests of science.
Meteorological experiments have been
made from balloons for several years, but
the trip today was, so far as is known
the first balloon ascension ever made for
the purpose Of physiological research.
Theories have been recently advanced as
TO the benefits derived from ballooning for
diseases especially nervous troubles in the
eyes. One of the objects of the trip today
was the investigation Of this theory.
Besides observation along this line, the
physicians, by careful experiments per-
formed alternately on each other, hoped
to be able to learn valuable truths regard
ing the effect OF changes OF attitudes, made
more rapidly than in ascending high noun
tains, on diseases of the heart and lungs,
besides noting the effect on the blood cir
culation.
The balloon was lent by members of the
Aero club Of New York. 1t has a ca
pacity OF 5000 cubic feet Pure coal gas,
which is much more buoyant than the
commercial fluminsnt Of coal and water
gas mixed. was used.
Prof. Charles King, Philadelphia
grand old man. of aeronautics. superin-
tended the preparations. It took three
hours to MI the bag.
The two aeronuts took up a large as
sortment Of instruments for performing
hniF =lVlaaV he Ina 4tu o,
the meteorological experiments were lent
by the United States weather bureau. and
the other set all delicate instruments, are
the property of medical societies in the
city.
Besides this equipment the balloon was
stocked with provisions to last the aero
nauts for a day, as they had planned
TO remain up as long as the gas held out.
They also carried maps OF Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Virginia, a camera and field
glasses.
When the ropes were cast on the bal
o'clock in the afternoon and the aeronauts
had clambered into their places, the value
Of one OF Prof. Kings ideas was demon
strated. Instead Of having the balloon
held down by his assistants until the sur
plus ballast was removed, the car was
anchored by a rope 10 a board buried in
the ground. In this way the start was
made without bowling over any Of the
spectators or helpers.
When the ropes were cast OF the bal
loon rose rapidly and started away west
southwest at a speed which promised u
land IT somewhere near Gettysburg. Al
an altitude OF about 1900 feet the balloon
veered almost directly southwest. and at
2:4O O'Clock, twenty minutes after the start
the big bag disappeared into a black cloud
at an altitude OF probably 5000 feet.
Among the crowd who watched the as
cension were the wife and daughter of DIT
Ottinger. one OF the aeronauts, and several
members Of the Aero club, including A. n
Chandler, president and founder OF the
club, and Roy Knabenshue OF Toledo, wild
came over from New York.

as cat to his designed and appointed
destination.
While Japan and Russia were at war,
every one must have noted the frequently
recurring phrase in the japanese Official
dispatches, "as previously arranged" That,
too, is Mr. Allison's method of doing bust
ness. Future events in which he is inter
ested are carded and scheduled. Nobody
really knows Mr.. Allison, yet everybody
is his friend. He never tells inqulrers any
facts about the legislation in which he is
interested, yet he is constantly besought
for information. Whenever he calls at the
White House. which is not infrequentiy,
those stationed there for the purpose ask
him about his business with the president.
His reply is invariably the same, II called
to pay my respects" Apparently It is
debt that will never be finally discharged.
The "FrOck Coat of Statesma ship"
Mr.. Allison ever dresses in solemn blacks,
clnging constantly to the long "frock
coat of craftsmanship" In summer he
makes slight concessions to the rising tenn
perature by wearing a straw hat. Nobody
ever saw him hot, or cold either for that
matter. Whatever may be the tempera-
lures, physical or mental, of those about
him, the senior senator from Iowa is al
ways normal.
When it began to be nolsed about town
that Senator Allison was preparing an
amendment to the rate bill, designed to
bring together the two opposing republican
factions, everybody knew that the end was
in sight. All the word thinkers in the SEN
ate had tried their hands at fitting to-
gether the group of words that would sat
isfy both sides Allison was the only man
of them who could contrive to make a
the time, too.
better example OF Mr.. Allison's skill
In the use of words has never been shown
than in the debate on the rate bill. He
almost never takes any part in a contro-
versy on the floor unless II becomes neces-
sary to explain or defend some measure
In which he is interested. He never of
tends anybody and never takes any re-
sponsibilities or commits himself. He was
one of the senators present at the White
House when the so-called Long amend
ment to the rate bill was agreed upon.
The democrats were very anxious to find
out how the compromise came to be &C
! cepted, and when Mr.. Long presented II TO
! the senate there was a fire of cross-ques-
tons. Mr. Bailey was apparently anxious
to know all about Il. He was particularly
| keen TO get Mr.. Allison to admit that he
had attended the conference. but without

the end of April. 1875, made Kamehameha
master of all the islands except Kauai and
Nilhau. The next year he sailed for
Kauai, but was driven back by a tempest
which wrecked many of his canoes. He
was then obliged to return in haste TO Ia
wall to put down an insurrection raised by
Namakeha, Kaiana's brother. This was the
last of his wars.
He now exerted himself In organizing
and consolidating his government. He d.
vided all the lands in the kingdom among
his followers according to their rank and
services. He appointed men of ability and
fidelity governors OF the principal islands.
In all his appointments he showed great
shrewdness and insight into character, ard
was never imposed upon by worthless ad-
venturers. Robbery, murder and theft were
suppressed throughout the kingdom, until.
as the old saying has II. the old men and
children could sleep IN the highway in
safety. He also exerted himself to pro-
mote agriculture, to encourage Industry and
to repair the ravages of his wars.
After six years residence on Hawaii, dur
ing which the famous fleet OF war canoes
called "peleleu" were built for the invasion
of Kauai. he returned to Oahu, where he
resided until 1911. After he had made vast
preparations for the conquest of Kauai a
terrible pestilence broke out I'm 1sO4-5, which
carried of half his army and nearly all his
counselOrs. In the spring of 1910 Kaumualii,
the last king of Kauai after several mes
sages had been interchanged. visited Hon

hameha, who told him 70 continue to hold
them in fief during his lifetime. The aged
king returned TO Hawaii in 1911 and re-
manned at KaIlua until his death, May s.
1919.
During this time the sandal wood trade
was at it's height. While IL lasted II was a

He did not, however, run IN debt. but left

several vessels for his successor. To tho

where Keoua had conquered Hilo and Ham
akua, and was carrying all before him.
After two bloody and undecisive battles,
Keoua was forced to retire to Hilo, but
meanwhile Maui was reoccupied by Kahe-
kills forces. Soon after this a sea fight
took place off Walmanu, Hawaii. between
the fleets of the two parties, IN which
Kamehameha's superiority in artillery gave
him the victory. Toward the end OF 1T9l
Kamehameha sent his two counselors to
Kau to invite Keoua TO a friendly con-
ference at Kawaihae. On Keoua's arrival
there he and his retinue were slaughtered

In July. 1874, the aged Kahekili died and
his kingdom quickly fell TO pieces from the
folly and treachery of his heirs. In the fol-

Life Story Of Kamshsmeha I, OOnqusro
and Ruler Of Islands.
HOW He PAVED WAY FOR CHRISTIANITY
Merry Warrior who Was Strong
Enough TO Unite the Group
of Islands Under One
Government.

One of the chief ornaments Of Honolulu
is the bronze statue of Kamehameha l, by
the sculptor Gould, which stands In front
of the government building. 1t is worthy
memorial of the great chief, who brought
all the islands under one strong govern
ment put an end to feudaI anarchy and
incessant petty wars, and prepared the way
for civilization and Christianity.
He was born on a stormy November
night about 1898, at Halawa in Kohala,
Hawaii, where all the forces of that island
were then mastering for the invasion of
Maui. His lineage was one of the highest,
for his father, Keoua, was half-brother
of Kalaniopuu, who was king Of WawaH OF
the time of the discovery Of the islands by
Captain Cook. This king engaged in fire.

which his nephew, Kamehamehs, distin-
guished himself as a brave and skillful war
rior He was also believed to have taken
an active part in the ARRAY in which Cap
tain Cook was killed At the council held
in 1870 to settle the succession, Kiwalao,
son OF Kalaniopuu, was declared TO be the
heir to the throne. and Kamehameha 10
hold the second place in the kingdom, TO-
gether with the charge of the war-god,
Kukail-muku, and his temples. At the
death of Kalaniopuu in 1882, Kamehameha
who was then over 40 years of age, was
peacefully occupied in cultivatng his pat
rimony in Kohala, building canoes and
fishing.
Leadership Acknowledged.
Anticipating civil war, which usually en-
sued on the death of king, the four great
chiefs of Kona sent for Kamehameha, and
prevailed upon him to put himself at their
heard. The quarrels which broke out over
the re-divison Of lands led TO the battle
of Mokuohai, south Of Kealakekus bay. IN
which Kiwalao was slain.
BY this victory Kamehameha became SOW
ereign of Kona and Kohala, while Ktoua
Kuahuula, brother OF Kiwalao, held Ka-u
and Keawe-mauhili, his uncle. ruled over
Hila.
The rest OF the group was under the sway
