THE PRINCE IN THE AIR.

“STUNTS” OYER'COLOGNE.. London, Feb 19. Entertaining stories of the Prince’s flying experiences are published in a book by Captain Cunningham Reid, a noted pilot. The Prince, while flyingas a passenger from Spa to Cologne, asked Captain Reid for some “stunts.” “Presuming that he had stunted before,” says Captain Reid, “and wanted something really hair raising, I rose to an: altitude of 7000 ft, and did three upward rolls, nose diving after each. Then I imitated a falling leaf for a few thousand feet, and did three half rolls, the machine lingering on its back, and finished up with a vertical sideslip, skimming the spire of the Cologne Cathedral. “I was about to ascend when the Prince weakly tapped me on the shoulder, holding his hand to his mouth and pointing down. Thereupon I descended.™ The. Prince thought it “just ripping, ” but ate no lunch. ”
