What is this article about?
A very amusing incident occurred Wednesday afternoon just previous to Mr. Beachey leaving the field on his first flight. The propeller of the machine was started, and the draught created by its rapid revolving took the hats of the many spectators flying helter skelter over the field. The pulling force of the propeller when running correctly is nearly four hundred pounds—and the four men who helped hold the plane back had all they could attend to.
