BALLOONS MEASURE
VELOCITY OF WIND.
Uncle Sam Sacrifices Flocks of Them
at $50 Each To Conduct Weather
y Experiments.

MT WEATHER, Va, May 10
While high altitude observations are
made mostly with kites. the United
States weather bureau scientists have
To use balloons when the wind Is too
light at the observatory. These are
red rubber balloons inflated with ny
drogen. Each balloon is about three
feet tall when inflated. There Is
enough gas to lift recording instru-
ments To immense nights. With these
free balloons observations have been
taken at the immense hight OF 10 miles
-S0,000 feet-faT above the point man
may attain and live.
Ire rubber balloons cost $50 apiece.
and as each balloon destroys itself IN
making a successful flight, the cost or
furnishing balloons TO the scientists Is
considerable. Often eight or ten bal
looms a day are sent up.
The instruments on the balloon cost
$75. The scientists at the station have
devised a neat plan for getting the
instruments back.
AT the level of the ground there IL
a heavy air pressure upon the inflated
balloon. AS the balloon rises this
pressure diminishes, and consequently
expands, increasing the size OF the
bag.
When the balloon reaches a tremen-
dous hight this expansion is sufficient
to burst the balloon. Instantly tn,
instruments shoot toward the earth at
the start of their 15-mile drop. Next
instant a parachute that had been tied
to the instruments opens and the val
liable freight drifts gently to the earth.
Anybody who finds the parachute
gets SO for notifying the station.
The station also gets observations
from captive silk balloon that Is
frequently sent up from the mountain
top to great nights. This balloon, by.
drogen inflated, has a lifting power
of so pounds, and heavy instruments
can be sent up with 1t.
Wind velocity at the kites altitude
Is now calculated from the kites
pull by those on the ground. But
In few days a new wind gauge Is TO
be sent up with the kites to write its
record on the cylinder Ahead of the
front cell Of the kite will protrude a
small windmill, like the paper rosette
pinwhees children buy at fairs. The
rapidity with which the gauge whirls
will measure the wind velocity.
The free balloons sent up to great
nights from Mt. Weather have discov-
cred that In the high attitudes the
temperatures vary little the year
round. The lowest temperature taken
at the station was So below zero, re-
corded by balloon one summer day
at q grea aliutde. 49,
Here is one fact thai has been
learned from the Mt Weather kites.
The average wind direction at the
hight Of two miles Is northwest At
this hight any shift Of wind to the
west or southwest usually foreruns by
two days the beginning of rain on the
middle Atlantic seaboard.

DEMAND HIGH
PRICES FOR SEATS
HouSeholders Get as High as $500
for Space Along Line of Edwards
-. 3 Funeral Procession.

LONDON, May 1.-THE erection of
reviewing stands along the route from
Westminster Hall to Paddington sta
tion, the line OF the funeral process
sion for King EDWARD. began today
The English public In its grief
hasn't lost sight OF the financial gain
to be made from this pageant. Realiz-
Ing that the event will bring together
the greatest array OF royalty ever
seen, IT is only fitting, one says, that
the charge be commensurate.
The cheapest seat on the reviewing
stands will sell for IS and from this
they will run to $50 and possibly SIS.
House owners along the route have al
ready sold window space, sufficient for
eight spectators, for $500 and one bal.
cony brought $500. Even these prices
are likely to be raised as the day for
the funeral, May 20, approaches.
The kings body will be removed
from Buckingham Palace to West
minister next Tuesday, and on the
following Friday, the funeral process
sion will move from Westminster
Hall to Paddington station, where the
body will be placed aboard a train
for Windsor.
The police are afraid that interest
in the funeral, due to the presence OF
such a galaxy Of royalty, may result
in some tragedy.
Already they have succeeded in
having the line of march from Buck
ingham palace to Westminster Hall
changed so as TO avoid congestion at
Trafalgar Square. Thirty thousand
troops will line the route.
The greed of some OF the household.
ers is likely TO result disastrously
Owners are selling roof space and In
number OF cases the roofs are con-
sidered dangerous owing to their al
most precipitate slopes.
Just what position Special Envoy
Roosevelt will have I'm the funeral
procession has not been determined.
II is assumed that he will be grouped
with the representatives OF other ma
tons not represented by royalty, such
as France, and those whose rulers are
not In attendance, such as Russia and
Turkey.
All of the royal mourners at the
funeral will, of course, be given pre-
ccdence over Roosevelt. The etiquette
of royalty not only demands this, but
most of these royalties are related to
the dead king, either in blood or by
marriage, and for this reason would
come first in the procession.
The appointment OF the colonel Is
favorably mentioned by all the Lon
don morning papers. The body of the
late king was today placed in it's cof-
fin and removed from the death room
to the throne room.
No further move has been made in
the proposal to change the coronation
oath so as to make II less repugnant
to the Catholics. the proposed changes
being desired by King George. The
matter, will probably be kept In
allegiance until after King Edwards
funeral. but 1t Is sure to come to a
head shortly thereafter.
The Professionals are busily arrang.
ing meetings of protest against any
change In the oath.

COMES OUT FOR
CHASE S. OSBORN
James H. Kinnane, Prominent Re-

KALAMAZOO, Mich. May ID
Especially James Fl. Kinnane, one OF
the real powers in Cass, in fact. some
say he is the real" power In Repub-
lican circles. has come out strongly
for Chase s. Osborn for governor.
In an interview with The Gazette of
this city, Senator Kinnane says:
Il am for Chase S. Osborne for gov
ernor, and | believe he will be NOM
mated in the primary next September.
He will have a large support in my
county, Notwithstanding the fact that
Hon. Patrick II. Kelley Is popular
and we'll known here. | have for years
esteemed Mr.. Kelley as a personal
friend and believe him to be an hon
orable and able man, who would, II
elected governor. at all events try to
do right. But there Is something be-
yond the mere matter OF men or per-
sonalities. There is a disposition
among the rank and file OF Repub-
licans In Michigan which is In antag-
onism to the present state admins
tration-Warnerism, If you please.
"Mr. Kelley must inevitably inherit
something of this antagonism. even
as he has Mt his back the active sup
port OF the whole state administration.
The principle which underies this
feeling Is much like that which has
infected federal politics and is known
by the term insurgency" The state
administration OF the last six years
Is fairly subject TO considerable
criticism and there is a spontaneous
demand amongst the people for the
elimination from the Republican poll
tics OF the state of the conditions
which lie at the foundation of this
criticism.
Viewing the situation this way. |
should say Chase s. Osborn presents
ed, enlightened andetaoin
the solution. He is big, broad-mind-
ed, enlightened and courageous man.
He would measure up to the highest
traditions and ideals OF Michigan's
past history. Not only this, but his
pure and free from cabals and close
corporation machines.
IF nominated, his election would be
already assured. IL nominated in the
primary, II will be by the free, un.
trammeled populace which make up
the great rank and file OF the Repub-
lican party, and are not in any immedi
ate dependence upon political offices
or favors. and he will reflect in office
the views and feelings of these"
Senator Kinnane served for two
terms under the Warner administra-
ton and he ought TO know.

RIVER GIVES UP BODY.
Remains Of Man About 20 Years Ole
Found at Saginaw.

nSIUdiHs OI wan ABOUT w Years Olu
Found at Saginaw.
SAGINAW, Mich, May 1S.-The
body of a man apparently about 40
years Of age was pulled from the
Saginaw river near the Bristol-st.,
bridge late yesterday afternoon, and,
from all appearances, 1t had been in
the water about 10 days. Coroner Con
merry was called and an inquest will
be held.
In the clothing % cents was found
and two letters, one OF which was In.
scribed as follows:
Dear Husband--Inez, Matthew
and myself are starving. There is
no money with which to buy any
thing to eat, and nothing to pay
the rent. | have stood II as long
as / can, and II you do not come
home Sunday, am going to kill
myself and end this misery"
The letter was dated April 80. Inez
and Matthew are supposed to be chill
dren. 1t was signed Mrs. Earl Por-
ter, Three Rivers. Mich.
II was learned that Porter, the day
he received the letter, sent a suitcase
to his wife's address. A receipt for
the same was found in the clothing
on the body. The police who are in.
vestigating the matter believe that
when Porter received the letter he
tried to catch a freight train and fell
in the river.
Relatives and the authorities at
Three Rivers have been communicate
