174 10 THE DAILY TRIBUNE, TACOMA, WASHINGTON. [[newspaper clipping]] FRED WISEMAN WILL FLY WEDNESDAY AT PETALUMA Will Carry Passenger Money Refunded If No Flight Aviation by Fred Wiseman of this city will be a feature of the Petaluma Food and Industrial Exposition on Wednesday. All arrangements for the flights were completed Saturday night, and the successful termination of the negotiations which have been under way for the past few days means another attractive feature for the big Petaluma show. The flights will be made from Kenilworth Park, which was the starting place for Wiseman's successful cross country flight from Petaluma to this city several weeks ago, and the program will begin shortly after the arrival of the excursion train from this city and the north. Tickets will be sold under a guarantee of "flight or money refunded," and two passengers will be carried – one of them being a woman. They will be carried at one time, however. A certain percentage of the receipts will be turned over to some charitable institution, and at a meeting between Wiseman and his manager and the Petaluma business men to be held today, the proportion of the proceeds to be thus disposed of, as well as the institution to be favored will be formally decided.

[[image - photograph of biplane in the air]] [[caption]] Wiseman Aeroplane at Start of Flight Over Montezuma Hills [[/caption]] INVITES YOUNG WOMAN TO MAKE FLIGHT IN AEROPLANE Does any young woman in Tacoma wish to go joy-riding in an aeroplane? If there are any who would enjoy, or believe they would enjoy, the sensation of a swift flight through the upper atmosphere, that privilege may be obtained with communicating with Fred J. Wiseman at the Olympus hotel. Wiseman, the California aviator, who will give flights at the Tacoma baseball park Friday and Saturday, has often carried passengers with him upon his flights, having carried a woman as a passenger in a flight at Santa Rosa last February. There is but one way, he declares, to properly appreciate the thrill of darting away from the earth and swooping like a winged creature of the mountain peaks, and that is to be a passenger in the machine when the first swift buzz of the propeller gives the lifting start to the planes. The first woman to apply may claim the trip offered by the aviator. Incidentally Wiseman believes that within five years Tacoma will see not only one aeroplane, but scores of them in daily use. As an inventor of his own particular type of machine, he believes that the flying machine will be not only a commercial asset of the future, but one of the leading mediums of sport. He said yesterday that in a few years he would expect to see harbors like that of Tacoma dotted with hydro-plane flying machines, owned and operated by those who are now enthusiasts in yachting and boating. He believes the hydro-plane machine with wings to be as safe as the ordinary sailing boat. Wiseman has been peculiarly successful in his manipulation of the aeroplane and promises to try for a flight over the city if weather conditions are favorable on either of his exhibition days. He has flown over the business section of other cities, but says he would like to circle some of Tacoma's skyscrapers and make a flight over the harbor. The attempt may be made [[?]] [[/newspaper clipping]] [[newspaper clipping]] Do You Remember NEWS OF FIFTEEN YEARS AGO From the Press Democrat, January 28, 1911.
