PAULHAN'S GREAT FEAT.
French Aviator Tells How He Broke
Record Of Worlds Altitude Flight.

French Aviator Tells How He Broke
Record Of Worlds Altitude Flight.
Louis Paulhan. the French aviator
who recently made a remarkable fight
at the aviation camp in Los Angeles.
Cal, during the aviation meet. when
in a biplane he reached an altitude of
5000 feet. wrote this story Of his rec
ord fight:
Il had no thought OF danger when /
was a mile in the air. l was as safe
and secure as when flying twenty feet
from the ground. L could have gone
to sleep and my good machine would
have carried me safely through the
night. There was no gusty wind. and
l rode on the air as gently as If l were
in an easy chair. The air was cold.
but intensely exhilarating and wonder
fully pure. 1t is impossible for me to
describe my feelings. 1t was exactly
as the birds feel. 1 know their IAN
guage now.
when l left the ground with my
Farman machine determined to beat
the record for altitude. l succeeded.
My eyes hurt me a little. but l ex-
perienced no fear or dizziness. 1t was
a wonderful sensation to fly so high.
The ocean and the valleys and noun
tains looked like a big plate. here and
there a speck. l was watching my
altitude instrument very closely.
When 1 made my fourth circuit the
needle pointed at No. 4. Aha
thought. this is it-Latham's record,
and l must go higher And higher
went. Holding on tight to my lever.
1 gradually lost all sense Of space.
Several times after 1 had reached the
highest altitude l turned off the cur
rent and scared along like veritsbls
eagle.
Then 1 forgot to look down. 1t was
so still around me. so peaceful, that
was totally oblivious of time. Nor
Gid think OF speed. Several times
stood still. or so it seemed. and l be-
gan TO feel as if / could sail forever.
Every breath l took seemed to be
liquid ecstasy. My machine seemed
to have a soul.
81 had gradually dropped to an alti-
tude of 5000 feet when l realized that
1 could not spend the night in the
skies. / decided to shoot down at an
angle Of about 80 degrees. straight
down from where was and land
upon the spot where had started. IL
was the simplest thing in the world.
1 landed my machine ten feet from
where 1 had started my flight
81 am glad, OF course. over the fact
that l beat Latham. When he reads
this event in the Paris papers he will
at once order out his machine and try
to fly higher still. If he does ! will
fly into paradise and defy him to fol-
low me there"

Home Damaged by Flre.-Mrs. F. g.
Roseberry was quite severely burned
about the face. and the interior OF the
kitchen of a house at S26 Nineteenth
street was badly damaged by fire that
resulted from the explosion of a gaso-
line stove yesterday. Presence OF
mind on the part of Mrs. Roseberry,
who closed all doors leading from the
kitchen, prevented the blaze from
spreading to other parts of the house.
Mrs. Roseberry was preparing to iron
her weeks washing when the explosion
occurred. She filled the gasoline tank
of the two-burner stove and after
generating the burners and placing
the irons on the stove she stepped
into the sitting room to attend to other
duties. A glare of light in the kitchen
attracted her attention and she hur-
riedly investigated. She found the
stove enveloped in flames.
