peller is located about one-third of the

a four-cyllnder air-cooled gasolene
motor. An ordinary friction clutch is
used. The cylinders are twenty-four-
inch bore and three-inch stroke. The
greatest rate of speed is 2,160 revolu-
lions per minute, but this is far in
excess Of speed during flight. The
horsepower is estimated at ten. The
weight of engine shaft, boiler and
tank is ninety-two pounds.
Knabenshue in making the flight de-
sends to earth by pointing the nose
|of the balloon downward and working
the screw, the power of which is suf-
fcient for that purpose. The angle of
the motion forward, upward or down
ward, with reference to the horizontal
is effected by the shifting Of the aero.
naut, who is seated astride the bars
Of the framework so that he can move
backward and forward as the occasion
may require. About twenty pounds Of
ballast is carried.
Knabenshue says he has not solved
the problem Of aerial navigation, but
he has demonstrated that in the alb
sence Of heavy wind it is possible, by
the use of the screw and rudder, to
drive and dive balloon. The practical
airship of the future, he says, must
dispense with the huge gas-flled bag,
which. offers more resistance to air cur
rents than does the canvas of a good
sized ship. ~

Demonstrations Of the practicability
OF airships and dirigible balloons have
been giving promise right along Of a
development into something useful It
has seemed of late as if a speedy reve-
lation Of the secret of aerial flight
could be anticipated.
The experiments have been attended
by an element Of danger that has fas-
cinated those who craved for the SEN
sational. Since Santos Dumont hitched
petroleum motor to gas bag, bal
looming has become a social fad, espe-
cially in France, where numerous aero
nautic clubs and societies have been
formed, and in this country this sum-

reach the policemen. They would be
slack in enforcing the law knowing
that the mayor could get after them
only thru commission which would
be tied down to clear evidence of mis-
conduct. All the mayor Of Mime
a:polls needs is to be satisfied that po-
hcemana is Sinking his duty and off
comes his head, It goes without say
ing that the bluecoats know this and
they are always for what the mayor is
for. - :, :

the mayor, takes his place on an equal
lty with the other members. He has no
veto power and only the same vote as
his colleagues. Still, the service is Of
great value to the mayor, as it gives
him a frst-hand knowledge of what is
going on In the other departments.
First Come, First Served.
The mayors daily routine is about
like that of a business man. He ar
r1ves at his office about 10 CLOCK and
immediately plunges into work. Be-
fore him have arrived number of per
sons who have business. with the Of
nee. When the mayor has looked at
his mail these are let in to see him in
the order Of their arrival. First come
first served, is the rule in democra cies'
and it has always been faithfully OBJ
served In the mayors office. A good
many OF these callers are persons who
should have gone to other departments,
and all the mayor can do for them is
to direct them where to go. But they
always insist on seeing the mayor.

But very few of these invitations are
declined unless they collide with some
other appointment already made. The
people get their moneys worth out OF
the mayor after the business man has
closed his desk and retired to his own
flreslde. The mayor has no privacy.
The people who want things call on
| him at home or jump on him by tele-
phone while he is eating his meals.
Mayor Babb once said that he never in
two years got thru a dinner at home
without having either visitor or tele-
phone message about the business Of
the city.
The mayor now has two telephones
on MS desk and one or the other rings
constantly, sometimes both at once.
Adventure with Russian.
While not humorist, the mayor has
sense of humor that saves him from
getting angry over some of the absurd
situations that arise

counts. and odd jobs of that sort. But
what I have regarded as the most I'M
usual of these various visitations came
from a stalwart Russian who stepped
into my office in a deferential manner
the other day and asked for an audi
ence.. And then his story came out:
"He had served in the Russian navy
under Admiral Rojestvensky and said
he had received an honorable discharge.
He had come to this country to make
new start in life and had drifted into
Minneapolis looking for work. The only
job he had been able to find was one
of porter in a japanese eurio store,
the thrifty proprietor of which doubt
less saw the value of his services as an
advertising adjunct, but after agree
ing to 20 to work the Russian IS con-
science troubled him. So he had come
to me to see if l would not write a
letter to the car and get permission
for him to work for one Of his coun-
try's aforetime foes. He needed the
money. and yet would do nothing that
would seem to impugn his loyalty to the
Little Father. -

refer him to the state department in

which combine the use Of motors with
the gas bags. A dirigible balloon is
peculiarly liable to wreck from the
fact that it's fragile structure Is forced

ried gently along with it. There is
| also danger Of explosion from the ex-
pansion Of the gas which is confined
so much more tightly than in an ordi-
nary balloon.
OF all the aeronauts before the pub
lie Knabenshue has been the most
successful. He will bring to Wonder
land an airship in which he is said to
have made $50 successful flights. Last
year he astounded the people Of Cali
fornia, New York and Chicago by cut
ting aerial figure lights high above the
tops Of the loftiest skyscrapers, sail
ing against the wind and following a
prescribed course instead Of drifting
hither and thither at the mercy Of air
currents as in the case Of an ordinary
balloon.
This summer he has given successful
demonstrations at Cleveland, Washing
ton, Scranton, Cincinnati, Buffalo, New
York and he. is now at the Winnipeg
exposition. ~ .

He also made several trips to cities
