soaring out to the landing place in the
Spau1ding Farm field west of the city.
a large crowd of people Immediately
rode out to the field and gathered about
I the wonderful machine, many of them
anxious to be the first to take ride
over; the city in the sturdy looking air

never be able to make road as smooth

had opportunity of witnessing some
thing out of the ordinary in airplape
flights. While Lieut.. Forseth was up
for a flight with one Of his daring as
sistants, Nose Rosenfweig, the machine
ran into a covey of prairie chickens and
one of the birds was. struck by the
plane and became tangled up in the
control wires, interfering with the
proper guiding Of the machine by Mr..
Forseth. Mr.. RosenfWeig, the assistant,
then left his seat il the plane and
crawled out on the wing Of the plane
to the place where the, chicken was
caught and released it. He then. calm
sly]sat down on the wing of the plane
ard the flight was continued for about:
twenty minutes "a strong wind blew
at the time Of this fight
v Common sight seeing trips proved to
be too tame for some Of our citizens
and trips up among the clouds with
spiral nose dives, loop the loop and
other sensa tional and thrilling stunts.
were provided by the aviator to satisfy
the adventure some spirit of the Drawer
ones. p. w. Forslund, Rasmus Hage1
and Leonard Westberg were passengers
on these sensational trips. 6 3
Lieut.. Forseth is a very careful pilot
and guides the machine with a sure
hand. The way he lands when return
ing from a flight is certainly very grace
full and won the admiration Of every
body. Those who have ridden with him
as passengers praise the expert manner
in which he controls the machine.
Lieut.. Forseth was in the u. s. flying
corps in France and has to his credit,
officially five German a irplanes that he
brought down, besides three others that
he rendered hors de combat. He has
been flying since 1910, equently has
long experience in aerial navigation.
The people Of Warren have surely had
a splendid demonstration Of his skill as
an .aeronaut. Lieut. Forseth is assisted
by his brother Felix Forseth, and Nose
E Ssanfweig, as mechanics.
