Maiden Voyage Is Last For Meteorological Balloon. The maiden Voyage of this rubber balloon is it's last, for it is made to fly only once. But it will sail 15 to 20 miles, higher than man has ever gone before, before it bursts in the rarefied upper atmosphere. No One accompanies the balloon, but in a suspended wire cage is a meteorological instrument with it's revolving cylinder upon which is recorded automatically atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity of upper regions. When the balloon bursts, a parachute opens which will lower the instrument with its recordings. This photo shows one of the balloons just before it was released at Cincinnati, Ohio.
