AVIATOR FALLS;
DEATH RESULTS
PHILIP O. PARMALEE KILLED IN
FLIGHT AT NORTH YAKIMA,
WASHINGTON.

North Yakima, Wash; June 3.-Av-
iator Philip o. Parmalee was killed
while attempting his first flight in an
aviation exhibition. gust of wind
caught the tail of his aeroplane and
overturned the machine.
Parmalee had been up about three
minutes on his first flight of the day
and had travelled almost two miles
! from the fair grounds at a height Of
four hundred feet, when the wind
| struck the machine. The biplane crash
| ed to the ground, crushing the aviator
beneath it. +-@
Like a Wounded Bird.
After rising to a height Of four hun
| dred feet Parmalee swung west over
the Yakima river and increased the
speed to almost a mile minute. When
about two miles from the fair grounds,
he swung in a wide circle to the east
| ward for the return journey.
AS he squared away before the wind,
the great plane checked in it's course,
plunged below the line Of trees.
The body Of the aviator was dragged
from beneath the wreckage of the ma
chine by farmers who were working
in the orchard, but his skull was frac-
tured and he must have died instantly.
The biplane was demolished to such
an extent that the mechanicians were

the disaster.
Urged to Postpone Flight.
Before he prepared for his last
flight, Parmalee was urged to post
pone the exhibition at least until the
wind quoted. but he laughed at the
persistent and fatal misfortune that
had logged the Wrights and their
aviators, as well as the most success
to his seat, without premonition Of the
fate that was to overtake him.
Aviator Parmalee was regarded by
experts as the fastest" Of American
aviators, as wei las the most success
full financially Of those employed by
the Wrghts. He was said to have
earned $4,000 for the Wright broth
ers during the year 1911, and he quit
their employ only few weeks ago.
Employed by Wright Brothers.
Parmalee was born at st. Johns,
Michigan, about twenty-f1v years ago,
He entered the employ Of the Wright
brothers two years ago, and was in
Los Angeles with Archie Hoxsey who
was killed there on January 1, 1911.
In Chicago, last August, Parmalee
established a worlds altitude record,
flying to a height of 10000 feet, but the
record was broken on the succeeding
day by Lincoln Beachey.

be resting easy after a bad two hours.
Relatives of the deceased are known
to live in New York city. Buffalo and in

the Stage Hands union, in which Clay
ton had membership, Bayless Cosner

day. The body of Clayton is at the

relatives.
