Forbes, the aeronaut, and his COM
panion, j. C. Yates, both of whom mar
rowly escaped death after drop of
300 feet near Center, KY, last week,
arrived and retold the story of their
thrilling escape from death.
You wouldn't quit riding on rail
road trains because you had been in

probably this fall"
Mr. Forbes said he would make af-
fidavit to the Aero club of the new
altitude record of 20,600 feet reached
on his eventful trip and had no doubt
it would be accepted.
Asked to comment on the sensations
experienced on his recent fight, MIR.
Forbes said:
AS omy feelings at great height
in balloon, have not any that are
very pronounced You know the SEN
sation is one of utter carelessness. A
fellow just wants to float, and he
doesn't seem to be bothered about
where he is going.
That falling sensation was not new,
either, for / fell 5000 in Berlin and

Snow storms In the clouds are
about like those on earth. If the bal
loon rises above the cloud strata the
occupants see nothing but sea of
rolling, fluffy waves. 1t is very cold,
however.
On this trip did not mind the low
temperature SO much; both of us were
prepared for it. We suffered for want
of oxygen. though, when we went high
er than $4,000 feet. The air pressure
at that altitude is not more than seven
pounds, and it seems as If one cannot
get enough air. We painted like dogs
and my eardrums panied ne greatly.
Yates suffered In the same manner.
Some aeronauts take tanks of oxy-
gen with their supplies, but we did not
think we would need it.
The Viking was not damaged and

thing like a drop of few hundred
feet scare him, and already he is
