GOOD MIDWAY, State
KNABENSHUE’S PLAN FOR MILE-A-MINUTE AIR SHIP;
. HAMILTON FLIES OVER PEACHTREE IN HIS SHIP
..
NERVY CHARLE8 HAMILTON NAVIGATING A SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT IN HIS FLIM8 1 ? AIR CRAFT.
"I shall build an airship that will sail
ut the rate of a mile a minute!"
This was the almost startling an
nouncement mode by Roy Knabenshuo,
of Toledo, Ohio, the whrld’s most suc
cessful air navigator, to a-Georgian re
porter at the Piedmont Sunday, when
siieaklng of the principles of air navi
gation and hie past success.
"It‘ will not be an areo-plane nor will
it have a balloon attachment. It will
not he copied either. All the ships of
the present day are copies. I shall give
out nothing about the principles and
construction of the new outfit until It
has been made a success. I believe I’ve
got the right Idea and I'm going to pul
It through."
This was the confident manner in
which the young aeronaut and one of
Atlanta's most Interesting visitor*
talked of his hobby—airships. He Is
a mere youth, hardly past 25. hut ii
tegular dynamo of energy and enter
prise and as nervy as men are made.
He says he has been "airshipping,'^ as
he puts It, for three years, ami has
spent a fortune In experimenting with
comparatively small returns.
At Nashville Fair.
Mr. Knabenshue arrived In Atlanta
Sunday from Nashville, where he lias
had an outfit at the Tennessee state
fair on exhibition. lie startled the
natives and convinced the skoptlcal*
In that 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 skeptic has to be contended
with at every place," remarked the
naylgator. "and he does more to steal
your" patience away than anything else.
The best gasoline motor that can be
built will not behave properly some
times, and If the aeronaut decides that
It Is too dangerous to attempt a night
the skeptics Immediately set up the
shout that he is stalling.
"It doesn't matter what his past per
formances have been; he may have
made successful flights and sailed about
the place on previous days just to
prove uiial can be done, yet the un
thinking never take anything Into con
sideration. He never stops to think
that the aeronaut has no fear of mak
ing a flight: that he knows every Inch
or his machine: Just what It Is capable
of doing; when It will go wrong anil
when It won't, and no one but himself
knows of his own confidence. He wants
to please the public. He likes the sport.
If he Is unsuccessful he hears the Jeers
and hisses of the crowd and It makes
him worry itnd his food won’t digest.
He would rather please the crowd and
make a successful trip than do any
thing else."
“Dr. Thomas is Game."
Dr. Julian V. Thomas, formerly of
Atlanta nnd Sugustn. On., Is a great
friend of the well-known aeronaut and
the two took the memorable balloon
trtp from New York to Boston'several
months ago. The navigator’s story of
the trip was very Interesting.
•The doctor Is the gamest little fel
low I ever saw. Just as we were near
ing the finish we were going at the Tate
of 3.7 miles an hour. The anchor was
nut and playing havoc with things. It
ripped shingles off barns and farm
houses, pulled up a telephone pole, tore
down fences and trees.
“I yelled at the doctor to pull he
cord and rip the bag. After some delay
he did It Just as this was done the
anchor caught, the bug inadt a para
chute of Itself, the basket made a
double somersault with the doctor end
I In It. When we hit, the back of my
ear was scraped over the rocks and
pebbles and the doctor was sitting In
my face. The doctor says, 'Gee, but
this Is great!’ I asked him afterwards
If he was aware of tho 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 anil don't
know how It behaves. I may make a
trip later In the week; It depends upon
lrcumstances."
Hamilton’* Sunday Trip.
Mr. Hamilton made a successful trip
about the grounds Hunday afternoon,
after thoroughly overhauling his ma
chine.
He started up town shortly after 5
o'clock and got as far as Tenth street,
when the battery short-circuited and
he returned. Secretary Frank Weldon
and two members or The Georgian
staff accompanied W. D. Alexander In
his motor car and gave chase, but tho
trip was called off when the airship
went back.
The game .navigator made another
start and want over the Driving Club,
but the motor stopped In .mid air ami
the big crowd stood breathless for fear
he would gat killed or seriously Injured
before he could get back to earth. Tha
rope Waa dropped and the big balloon
was pulled down In the vacant lot Just
outside the grounds.
When the crowd collected about Mr.
Hamilton calmly asked for a match to
light his cigarette. His attendants
wanted to carry the machine back to
quarters, but the navigator told them
to start tha motor, as he was'going to
sail back and didn't Intend to ha\e
It carried Into quarters.
He proved that he hod the ship un
der perfect control and plenty of nei ve
to assist him In getting safely out ,,f
any difficulty. Burring high winds, a
trip will be made dally this week.
