B-r-r! The Last Thing in the World
That Major Hersey Enjoys is Fan

AS he sits at his desk in the head
quarters building at Fort Omaha,
mopping his perspiring brow and
hopefully watching for a drop of the
mercury in the office thermometer,
Major H. r. Hersey, acting COM
mander of the fort, should be able
to cool off at once by just letting
his memory run back to eleven years
ago.
Brr! 1t makes US shiver to think
of it. In the summer of 1906 about
the last gift Major Hersey would
have appreciated was a fans He was
dressed in all the fur and wooden
garments he could comfortably
carry. There was no ice cooler
around; neither did he miss one.
For it was then that he assisted in
the famous Wellman polar expedi-
ton, when an attempt was made to
reach the pole by balloon from
Spitzbergen.
He was executive officer of this ex-
pedition. Ballooning has always been
his hobby and he has other balloon
feats to his credit He assisted Ma
jor Frank Lahm in winning the
James Gordon Bennett cup in the
international balloon races at Paris
in 1906 In the international race al
St. Louis, 1907. he sailed the balloon
United States across Lakes Michi-
gan, St, Clair and Erie, landing in
Canada.
Before he took up ballooning Ma
jor Hersey managed to find other
outlets for his courage and energy.
In the Spanish-American war he won
his title when he helped Roosevelt
lead the Rough Riders through Cuba.
He is distinguished Intellectually as
well, being government expert on
meteorological matters.
He has been for years connected
with the weather bureau and recently
had been commissioned to establish
a line of weather bureau observation
static MS around the Caribbean sea, on
the coast line of upper South Amer
ica, Central America and the West
