Weather Bureau Officials Hold
Philadelphia Flight Broke
Ralph J0hnst0ne's Record.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5.-Accordins
to George S. Bliss. chief of. the United
States weather bureau in this city, ].
Armstrong Drexel rose to a height OF
1887 feet in his flight to make a new
worlds altitude record for ~aeroplanes
in this city on November %. The best
previous record was s,714 feet, made
by Ralph tombstone, who was later
killed in Denver. Drexel claimed he
reached an altitude of 1910 feet.
When members of the Aero Club OF
America in New York questioned the
correctness of Mr.. Drexel's record. the
latter immediately placed the matter
In the hands of the weather bureau *
|perts and announced that II they agreed
that he broke ~Johnstone's record he
would fight to have his figures official
ly accepted.
The Paragraph used by Mr.. Drexel
was the same as that taken up by
tombstone at Belmont Park. 1t was
put to Ave different tests by the
Weather Bureau at Washington, and
each test showed the Paragraph to be
an excellent instrument. The test was
made by G. F. Marvin, in charge of the
instrument laboratory of the Weather
Bureau, assisted by Mr.. Bliss. In de-
termining Mr.. Drexel's altitude the
experts tool into consideration the at
mospheric conditions prevailing on the
day the flight was made.
