KNEW THE AIR CURRENTS.
Victory in Balloon Contest Partly Due
to Hersev's Experience.

PARIS, October 3.-Lieut. Frank P. Lahm,
9Th Cavalry, United States army, winner
Of the. International balloon contest. and
Maj. Hersey, his companion. arrived here
from England this morning. Much Of the
Americans success Is attributed to Maj.
Hersey's knowledge of meteorological con-
ditions, learned as the result of long ex-
perience in the weather bureau at Wash
irgton.
Maj. Hersey closely examined the latest
weather reports, and knew instantly that
the heavier and faster outer currents
would be at the lower surface and that the
wind revolving about the center from left
to right would inevitably change their di-
rection and carry the balloon northward to-
ward England. Consequently, while the
rivals of the Americans were vainly testing
the upper strata the latter remained close
to the earth, their guide rope touching much
of the time. Their judgment was vindi-
Gated by the fact that although the United
States was the twelfth balloon to start 1t
was the first to reach the English coast.
