ARKANSAS GIRL A BALLooNIs1
Miss Bess Harris Make Flight of 5000
 Feet in Panama.

Miss Bess Harris, daughter of R. P. Harris of Eagleton, now living with her sister in Panama, writes interest ingly to her father under date of March 26, about q balloon ascension in which she took part at Coca Solo, submarine base in the Panama Is- lands. The flight was made in com pany with Lieutenants Widder and Williams, the men in charge of the balloon. They went to a distance of 3,o00 feet and remained there 20 min utes.
 Writing of the experience, she says: My clothes got all stiff with the cold. We could see nearly all the way across the canal, and it seemed to me nearly across the Atlantic ocean. We could not see the men below us, but roads looked like pencil marks, and houses like dots. It was the most thrilling and most wonderful thing ever did"
 Continuing her narrative of the trip she says: There have been some United States senators and other notables down here, and the other day they started to go up.in balloon, but one of them got so scared they had to bring them down. Then they took them thru a submarine and one of them. tainted They didn't have speck of nerve. bet they would have died from fright if they had gone across the Atlantic during the sub marine raids"
 The Star nay be charged with tell ing tales out of school. but the fact of the matter is that one of the visit ing senators was the Hon. Joe T. Rob- inson of Arkansas.
 Miss Harris adds thai later these notables, with a bunch of natives, went on an alligator hunt, succeeding in capturing alive an alligator meas- urinQ 171s feet in length and weigh ing 1900 pounds
