DAYS WORK" IN AN
OBSERVATION BALLOON

For the many thousands of words
that have been written about the part
aeroplanes are playing in the war
there have been. comparatively, only
a few dozen concerning the role and
accomplishments of the observation
balloon.
1t is but a few years ago that a
drop with parachute from a balloon
was regarded as such a wonderful
feat that it was heralded as the chief
TRACTION at state fairs. Now il Is an
ordinary incident in the days work of
the fearless war observer. The de-
tails of this observation work. as told
by soldier who modestly refrained
from singing his name, seem of suf-
ficient interest to bear reprinting.

THE balloon is walked down to the
ascensio ground, the winch follows,
and the two officers who are to be OBJ
servers for the day don their para
chute attachments. The balloon is
then logged to the winch, and the
observers step into the basket. One
tests the telephone; the other care
fully examines valve cord, rip cord
and ballast. There is a salute and
the giant cable slowly uncoils.
AT 500 feet the winch is stopped,
while we take the strength of the
wind, which at that height is usually
about IL miles an hour Then up we
go again, stopping at loco feet to
repeat the business. The wind is now
16 miles an hour. At every 500 feet
we stop until the limit of 5000 feet
Is reached. Then the days work be-
gins.
