Novel Ski Run Planned
A spectacular descent of Mt. Egmont is planned by Mr. Franz Skadarasky, an expert skier. He will, as soon as weather permits, attempt a novel ski run involving a descent of 2000 feet over a distance of three-quartel's of a mile with the aid of "ski wings," his own invention. Mr. Skadarasky hopes to control his speed to 40 miles an hour. The wings, which will be attached to his legs an'd ai'ms, will offer wind resistance — the larger area of "wing" released, the greater the resistance. !
