Show Couldn't Hit a Balloon. New York. An anchored balloon sent up off Sandy Hook, at a continuation continu-ation of the army's test of aerial warfare, war-fare, passed unscathed through a fire from a gun especially designed foi the purpose. Twenty shots in all were fired, but none hit the bag. Results of the experiment are being kept a secret. The balloon was fired upon at a height of about 600 feet, but whether the failure from the weapon's inefficiency or poor marksmanshlj could not be ascertained. |
