When at a great height the man touches an electric spring which fires the cannon and shoots the man and parachute into the air. It is positively the most thrilling. as well as dangerous , of all balloon feats and there are only a few aeronauts who will attempt it. These balloon ascensions will positively take place. The contract - tract reads : "No ascension , no pay" and the immclh e crowds that will surely be in attendance will surely not be disappointed. A Correction.
