Another Airship FIjuht,
Lincoln ,Beachey, the aeronaut,
made another flight at the jamestown
Exposition grounds today, and dem.
on5trated that aerial navigation Is not
altogether a dream. Starting from
the concourse at the AeronauticaI
Concourse, Beachey arose and sailed
away to the east and alighted like n
great bird In the center of Lees ma
rade where q gathering awaited him.
He was scheduled to take his flight
from the parade Mt four o'clock and
he. was ready to the minute. Some ,
of his men were on hand to lend
hand giving him moorng while he
waited for the starting time. At the
moment he started his littlc four CYL
inder motor, stood well aft on the
frame beneath the great bag and the !
dirigible sailed away at an easy rise.
Inc wind blew at about four miles |
on the ground hut when he attained
an altitude of about two hundred /,
feet 1t reached velocity of about !
six miles. That made no apparent
difference with his perfect control of |
the airship. He circled around, went !
MP and down, scared like bird I'M
der perfect control every minute and
then headed off to tho westward back
to the conconrse to put his air horse
In stable. He dropped within hun
dred feet Of the entrance of tho aero.
drome and within few minutes lie
ha backed the craft into her stall
A feature of this balloon is that the
gas is of only sufficient ascentional
power to give flight with the aid of
the propeller 1t is nearly balanced
between flight and gravity with the
aboard. Steered up It. goes
up with the power of its screw at |
work. Steered down its screw drives
1t down. Tho gas is not let out in
coming down but is retained in the
bag for use another day. This means
great economy in gas.
