Maier & Berk el e “I ahull build an alrahlp that will aall at the rate of a mile a minute!" Thla waa the almoat atartllng an- ■wuncement made by Roy Knabenahue, of Toledo, Ohio, the world'* moat suc- ceaaful air navigator, to a Georgian re porter at^the Piedmont Sunday, when apeaking of the principles of air navi gation and hla paat aucreae. It will.not be an areo-plane nor will It have a balloon attachment. It will not be copied either. All the ahlpa of the preaent day are coplea. J ahall give out nothing about the principle* and conatruction of the new outfit until It ha* been made a aucceaa. I believe I've got (he right Idea end I'm going to pul It through." Thla waa the confident manner In which the young aeronaut and one of Atlanta'* moat Intereating vlaltora talked of hla hobby—alrahlp*. He la a mere youth, hardly paat 25. but n regular dynamo of energy and enter- priae nnd na nervy nn men are made. He aaya he haa been ‘‘airahlpptng," a* he puta It. for three year*, and ha* apeht a fortune In experimenting with comparatively atnall return*. At Naahvill* Fair. Mr. Knabenahue arrived In Atlanta Sunday from Xaahvflle, where he hoa had an outfit at the Tennesaec state fair on exhibition. He startled the native* and convinced the akeptlcat In (hat part of the country by taking a trip, from the fair grounds up to and around the capitol building and back to the starting point. "The akeptlc ha* to be contended with at every place," remarked' the navigator, "and he doe* more to *teai your patience away than anything else. The bent gaaollne motor that can ho built will not behave properly *ome- llme*. and if the aeronaut deride* that It. is too dangerou* to attempt a flight the skeptic* Immediately set up the shout that ha la stalling. “It doe»n't matter what hla past per formance* have been; he may have made successful flight* and sailed about the place on previous day* Ju*t to prove what can be dune, yet the un thinking never take anything Into con sideration. He never stop* to think that the aeronaut has no fear of mak. Ing a flight; that he know* every Inch of hla machine; just what It I* capable of doing: when It will go wrong and when It won't, and no one but himself know* of hla own confidence. He wanta to please the public. He like* the sport. If he I* unsuccessful he hears the Jeers and hisses of the crowd and It makes him worry and his food won't digest. He would rather please the crowd and make a successful trip than do any thing else." "Or. Thomas is Gama." Dr. Julian P. Thomas, formerly o( Atlanta and Augusta, Ga., I* a great friend of the well-known aeronaut and the two took the memorable twlloon trip from New York to Boston several month* ago. The navigator's story of the trip was very Interesting. ‘The doctor I* the gamest little fel low I ever saw. Juki a* we were near- the llnlsh we were going at the fate of If. mile* an hour. The anchor was out and playing havoc with thing*. It ripped shingle* oil barns and farm down fences and tree*. "I yelled at the doctor to pull he cord and rip the bag. After some delay he did It. Just a* thl* was done the anchor caught, the bag made a para chute of Itself, the basket made a double somersault with the doctor and I In It. When we hit, the back of my ear was scraped over the rock* and pebble* and the doctor was sitting In my face. The doctor says, 'Gee, but thl* Is great!’ I asked him afterwards If he was' aware of the danger. He said yes. but he didn't have but one time to die. That was the narrowest escape I ever had. • “I don't know that I will make an ascent In Atlanta. I have never tried the ship being used by Mr. Hamilton. I am not acquainted with It and don't know how It behaves. I may make a trip later In the week; It depends upon circumstances." Hamilton’s Sunday Trip. Mr. Hamilton made a successful trip about the grounds Runday afternoon, after thoroughly overhauling his ma chine. He started up town shortly after ; o'clock and got as far as Tenth street, when the battery short-circuited and he returned. Secretary Frank Weldon and two members of The Georgian staff accompanied W. D. Alexander In his motor car and gave chase, but the trip was called oil when the alrahlp went back. The game navigator made another start and went over the Driving Club, hut the motor stopped In mid air-and the big crowd stood breathless for fear he would get killed or seriously Injured before he could get back to earth. The rope was dropped and the big balloon was pulled down In tbe vacant lot Just outside the grounds. When the crowd collected about Mr. Hamilton CBlmly aaked for a match to light his cigarette. His attendants wanted to carry, the machine back to quarters, but tho navigator told them to start the motor, a* he waa going to sail back nnd didn't Intend to have It carried Into quarters. He proved that he had the ship un der tierfeet Control and plenty of nerve to assist him In getting safely out of any difficulty. Barring high winds, a trip will be made dally this week.
