King Kelly Offers to
Take Up Passenger
For Parachute Jump

Want to take a ride in a great big
balloon?
Well, here's your chance. King
Kelly, who for the last fifteen years
has been visiting Paxtang Park
and who is there all this week max
ing a flight each afternoon and
evening to-day announced that he
is ready to take any person in Har-
risburg a ride in his balloon this
week, provided, however, that the
applicant assume all risk of the
Journey. That is the only qualifi-
cation. OF course, Kelly will go
along on the trip and then there
will be the parachute leap and the
drop to earth in the bargain. The
whole thing is over in ten minutes,
Kelly said to-day, but each minute
is crowded brimful of excitement
and persons with a desire to do
something out of the ordinary will
have their fondest wishes gratified by
the trip.
Under ordinary conditions Kelly
goes to a height of from one-half
to u mile from the earth but in
making his offer to take up any
persons with flying desires, he said
he would go up the better part of
two miles.
There's a lot of fun about bal
looming Kelly smiled. You go up
like a shot out of a cannon and
there's rather peculiar but pleasant
sensation on the first trip. Cutting
the parachute loose from the bal
loon means that you have a straight
drop of from 100 to $50 feet before
the parachute drops and during
that time you have a chance to i'm
agine all kinds of things. You can
see pretty flowers and perchance you
may imagine you see your friends
J passing in single file alongside of
you. But then the parachute opens,
your speed slackens and you float
off slowly to some landing place.
Now l like ballooning and when l
came here yesterday the thought
struck me that perhaps some of the
thousands who have seen me before
would like to take a trip with me.
If you know any person with such
desires just send them along to me
{ and We'll have a dandy time up
, among the clouds some day this
week"
Kelly made his first ascension of
) the week last night in the presence
OF a crowd of several thousand per-
sons. Before he leaves Harrisburg
he will do some new stunts and drop
! from three or four parachutes.

New Cumberland Enrolls
in the American Legion

With the announcement made last
evening that the New Cumberland
organization of the American Legion
had received a temporary charter as
Post No. 143, further interest was
aroused in the formation of a local
post.
Practically all the small towns
about Harrisburg have formed their
posts and are going ahead rapidly
in their membership campaign and
it is desired that this city follow
suit. Men are coming in every day
to the War Camp Community Serv-
ice to register their names, but more
are needed, and there is no reason
to delay.
New umberlands Post is organ
lied with Earl Smith as temporary
president, and w. Cross as secretary.
Wayne Rockey will enroll men in
the Post at Briggs near Third
street, New Cumberland.
