in tlia suanl.d opinion of hia irofion
xpreKiPd by I'haj ! K. Hamilton In Uie
Columbian Ma,aiine.
Mr. Jlajnllton is on of the darinf a I
aloia of tlif prfaent time, prll winner in
tli flight from New Voile to Philadelphia
and irturn, a i-upil of Ulrnn Cui'tii and a
tlirillrr of the raulhan clam.
The factor of safety. Sir. Hamilton con
Irndi, lie in tha lnrrtaalna; control of air
craft and the improvement! that expert
em will develop. Air travel will ba ex
tremely popular, too, because there will be
vno danger from colllsluna of vehicle and
no bud roads to retard apeed. Mr. Ham
ilton continue":
The general public la under I lie impi ea
ion that when the aviator reaches a li i K ii
altitude he la in areat danger and may be
fUehed to the ground at any moment. The
opposite ia the fact. The higher one S4i!s
In an aeroplane tne safer he in, for he haul
the chance, in cane hit molor fail, of pick
ing out his landing place and eliding to
ward it. On the other hand. 1 will guar
antee to aali from the Battery to Harlem
nd return without going; higher than
thirty feet from the ground.
Another fallacy In the public mind Is
that the aviator ia continually fighting air
current. Kxperlenca haa taught the eero
planlst that It la unnecessary to struggle
against the currenta. When they are
reached they'are met much aa a navigator
control lila vessel In other words, the air
billows, no to apeak, are ridden, and the
craft allowed to right itself, which it will
readily do, for if not forced It will find its
own keel. . '
Speeding: la Air aad on I. sad.
In my opinion driving an aeroplane at
the speed of 120 miles an hour la not nearly
art difficult as driving an automobile sixty
mlloa an hour. In running an automobile
at high speed the driver must be on the,
Job every second. There are constant op
portunities of encountering obstacles. For
instance, a man can never tell at what
moment he ia to encounter some vehicle,
perhaps traveling in the opposite direction.
Nothing but untiring vigilance can protect
him from this danger. Then there are
turns In the road, 'bad stretches of pave
ment and other like difficulties. All these
require the same attention.
But in an aeroplane It la an entirely dif
ferent proposition. Once a man becomes
accustomed ' to aeroplaning It become a
matter of unconscious attention, lie has
no obstacles to encounter except cross cur
rents of air. Air and wind are much
quicker than a man can think and put his
thought into action. Unless experience haa
taught the aviator to maintain his equl
librium instinctively he Is sure to come to
grief. Why, when I am traveling at the
rale of sixty or eighty miles an hour a
thousand or more feet above the ground
my thoughts usually run on subjects unre
lated to aeroplaning. Ho far as the air
currents are concerned, I rely entirely on
this Instinctive action; but my ear is always
on the alert. The danger signal of the
aviator is when he hears his motor miss.
Then he knows that trouble are In store.
Sometimes he can speed up. Just as an
automobile driver does, and get it to renew
Us normal action. But If he falls in this
and the motor stops, he must dip hia de
flecting plane and try to negotiate a land-
. he built that O ild cri u number of
paaeepgers and travel aa far aa from New '
York to Pnlladelphia. I am convinced tria. J
I It could If a perfect enplne is developed.
! The whole thing depend almool entirely
upon (he engine. If the pert' ct motor ia
I nb'alnrd and the size of the plane in-
created there i practically no limit to the t
; lifting power. On the power of the motor
; and the sire of the plane w ould, of course. ,
t depend the nuiiilier of passenger that
could be carried. i
One student of the subject iledaie that
when atrial transit become an actual fact
a host of new problem will suddenlly ap- ;
pear, problems which no landsman seems :
no far to have troubled himself about. !
though it is very probable (hat many a J
navigator of the sea haa given considerable
thought to the difficulties lying In wait for
hia brother of the air. "In undertaking
long' aerial voyage at varying heights and
under varying atmospheric condition, the
aerial navigator will suddenly find hirrmelf
confronted with all the intricacies of ma
rine navigation, with a good many addi
tional problem much more baffling.
Granting that he can accurately determine
hi course through space by nieaua of ome
wonderful form of eonipa that ha yet to
he Invented, he will still have t determine
the distance along that course. While there
are several excellent device for measuring
a vessel's speed and distance through water,
there are none whatever for measuring an
airship speed and dixtatice through the
lighter medium of air. True, the aerial
navigator loat In space while sailing over
known lands can descend, locale himself
and proceed on his way. But what If he be
sailing over a trackless ocean or a barren
desert?"
Charting the Air.
It has also been pointed out that it will
be necessary to install throughout the world
an entirely new system of lighthouses,
beacons and other aids to navigation. There
must be easily recognized lights, not only
at prominent havens, but on mountain
range and isolated peaks, not merely a
guides to the sky sailor, but as warnings
of the proximity of danger. The Impact of
delicate aircraft travelling at aixty miles
an hour against a terreatrial object would
be far more terrible to its passengers than
that of a liner against a sunken reef.
These lighthouse should have Immense arc
lights and be equipped with fog signals to
be used in bad weather.
An iogenlous suggestion has been made
by another writer that highway might be
formed In the air, like channels in water,
and instead of buoys captive; balloons
anchored in fixed places to mark appropri
ate spot, aa well aa to offer temporary
moorings to passing airships, which might
send telegraphic messages through them to
their friends and relative on earth. .
Airy Troubles.
Also, with the coming of the airship, a
very pretty problem will be presented to
the legislator of the world for solution,
namely, how to deal with the aerial law
breaker, to whom neither walls nor fences,
mountain nor rivers, jior even the broad
ocean, will be insurmountable barrier. Are
these airships to be allowed to traverse fron
tiers freely, regardless of passports? Ia
the upper air to become a smuggler' para
dise? Are these aerial wanderer to be In
dependent of custom duties, defiant of bans
of exile and law of Immigration? Are
they to remain at liberty to hover over
our fortifications, arsenals and dockyards,
or to land on our lawn and flower beds?
And how shall we guard against the aortal
burglar? Most houses are badly protected
on top, and the burglar who had a friendly
airship in waiting for him need have little
fear of the police. It la perhaps too fan
tastic to predict an aerial police force, but
with the arrival of the cheap and popular
airship the authorities will have to adopt
special precaution to regulate the traffic
of tha kle. Aircraft will inevitably be

Exposures of the great Spanish swindle,

An opportunity will be given daily to view the Curtiss Biplane at ciose range. The machine will
be run in front of the grandstand, and its principles and workings explained. '
On Tuesday afternoon a Diamond Ring, presented by the Ryan Jewelry Co., will be dropped Into the crowd from an

Government Exhibit
This is the first opjortunity given to the people of this territory to witness the evolutions of the
war balloons now used by the United States Army. Lieutenant Haskell of Fort Omaha will be in charge of
the War Balloons, and the Signal Corps from the Fort will give daily exhibition of the uses made by
aerial craft in modern warfare.
Prof. Thomas (Daredevil") Andrews and John Waldorf Hall, two of the best known and most
daring balloon operators in this country will give daily exhibitions with parachute drops. Arrangements
have been made to race their balloons in trials for altitude, speed, distance and endurance.
Final
Not since the famous International Meet at Los Angeles has there been an American Meet where
such an opportunity has been given to view the present development of Aerial craft areoplaues, diri
