Supt. Fuller Getting Ready
For Central Maine Fair.

The Boomerang is an airship especially
constructed for heavy winds and has no
difficulty in getting into the air. The as
cension is made in all weathers. 1t re-
Gently fought an electrical storm over
the Palisades in New York, feat which
was considered impossible. In the con-
struction of the Boomerang the manage
ment was particular in making the ma.
chine so that it would have no difficulty
in fighting the heaviest of winds. A test
of 1SC pounds pressure was made upon
each seam in the bag. 1t is capable of
carrying a weight Of 1925 pounds The
framework is 81 feet in length and al
though it may seem to the observers as
very slight it is the strongest procurable.
Speaking Of air navigation Mr.. Jones
was of the opinion that the airship was
further advanced today that the auto
mobile 10 years ago, because all the re-
quirements were furnished. The inventors
OF the automobile furnished the motive
power and the Montgolfier Bros. of
France over a century ago, so that when
the promoters Of aerial ships came into
existence they had their material fur
nished.
The machine when it starts at the fair
will carry 10 men, including the driver,
Mr.. Jones. William Lousy is the expert
mechanic and is considered to be the best
in the country. The ground work is look
ed after by "Blacky" Pagan. while Bert
Erie and Chester Howard have charge of
the gas and framework respectively
The machine will rise on each and every
day of the fair and if the weather condi-
lions are favorable on all days the daily
trip will be taken to the Unitarian church
in this city and return. The machine on
arrival in this city will be at once taken
to the grounds at the Central Maine park
and put rto position. The work will be
in charge of Mr.. Jones and a success is
assured on each exhibition day. The
winds in this part of the country are
harder to so against than in the other
places, attempted. and for this reason Mr..
Jones is sent in command Of the air YES
