Balloon Flight.

There were no "air ships" in those days, the
plain gas bag or old-fashioned balloon being
the maximum of man's accomplishment 
toward the goal of human
flight. A balloon ascension was
always interesting to the public.
In The Star of March 14, 
1857, is the following account of such an
occasion:

"Four-and-a-half street, in the vicinity 
of the gas house, was alive yesterday with
spectators drawn out to see the balloon ascession.
The balloon was inflated by a 
hose.  The operation being necessarily a
slow one, the huge globe was seen 'bobbing
around' for a long time in a
way to create numerous false alarms
of 'There she goes!'  Finally, about
4:30 p.m., it shot skyward amidst shouts
of insiders and outsiders.  A Mr. Amos Carrier,
who has already had some pretty tall
aeronautic experiences, went up in lieu of
Mr. Elliot, who was prevented by illness in
his family.  The balloon rose gracefully,
taking a northeasterly direction in its travels,
thus giving city folks a fine opportunity
to see it.  The daring aeronaut stood erect in
his tiny basket (which oscillated in a manner
to make the looker-on dizzy) waving the
American flag by one hand and his hat by
the other in response to the shouts of spectators.
Mr. Carrier returned to this sublunary
sphere in safety and without injury
to his balloon, about dark last evening,
landing in the vicinity of the old race
course."

Nihil novum sub sole - La question de la
dirigeabilité des baloons aurait été
résolue il y a 44 ans.

(Service special du ,, Petit Bleu'.)
Au diner annuel de l'Aero-Club d'Ame rique, qui a eu lieu hier, M. Edgar Bronson a provoqué un vif émoi et un étonnement général en affirmant que le principe de la locomotion aérienne et de la dirigeabilité des aérostats avait été déterminé ily a près d'un demi-siècle par un Dr. Solo-mon Andrews, qui est aujourd'hui parfaite-ment oublié. M. Andrews avait construit ce qu'il appelait un ,,aéréon', bateau aérien muni d'un gouvernail, qu'il lâcha le 8 - septembre 1863, à Perth Amboy, Etat de New Jersey, en lui faisant décrire toutes les évolutions qu'il voulu. L'inverteur employait l'air comprimé comme force motrice. M. Bronson a produit des documents à l'appui de ses dires. I1 a affirmé, de plus, être détenteur du secret de l'invention du Dr Andrews, laquelle permettait à son ballon dirigeable de parcourir 120 miles (200 kilomètres) à l'heure; mais ce secret, il n'a pas voulu le divulguer, car il compte, croit-on, en faire lui-même l'application.

"Nihil novum sub sole - The question of airship of the balloons would have been resolved 44 years ago.

(Special service ilu,, Little Blue".)
At the annual dinner of the Aero-Club of America, which took place yesterday, Mr Edgar Bronson caused great excitement and general astonishment by affirming that the principle of aerial locomotion and the controllability of aerostats had was determined almost half a century ago by a Dr. Solo-mon Andrews, which is now completely forgotten. Mr. Andrews had built what he called an 'aereon', an aerial boat fitted with a rudder, which he launched on September 8, 1863, at Perth Amboy, State of New Jersey, having him describe all the developments that he wanted. The inverter used compressed air as the driving force. Mr. Bronson produced documents in support of his claims. He claimed, moreover, to be the holder of the secret of the invention of Dr. Andrews, which allowed his dirigible balloon to travel 120 miles (200 kilometers) per hour; but this secret he did not want to divulge it, because he intends it is rumored, to apply it himself."

foundations of the old castle are now causing anxiety, and have to be shored up with timber and masses of concrete, though it is doubtful whether these makeshifts can avail for long.
It is a magnificent sight when the sea attacks a Sussex town like Hastings, breaking in fury on her defensive works and fairly blotting out the big hotels and towering cliffs in fountains of spray. Special trains are on hand at such times to hurry material to fill up cavities and breaches. It is a costly business, however.
The little town of Cromer in one year has spent $150,000 on sea defence. In the fishing town of Lowestoft furious seas have licked out 200,000 tons of shingle; despite the fact that $260,000 has been spent on protective measures; and on the south side the low water mark has been driven back nearly seventy feet. Nevertheless twenty-two feet of cliff disappeared recently, leaving a new hotel in so perilous a position that it had to be abandoned.

Transcription Notes:
'Luuel' and 'Baodeck' are likely place names, my guess is unlikely to be correct. First clipping has left side cut off.
