THE PLANE CROSSES LAKE MENDOTA AND TRIES TO STOP IN MADISON
Last night, at dusk, an airship flew over Madison. It seems that he attracted the most attention in the Seventh Ward, where hundreds of people saw him. The interesting airship seemed to have arrived from beyond Lake Mendota and was moving almost due south until it reached the city, when it turned in a more south-westerly direction.
Apparently, the navigator was looking for a place to get off, as his ship seemed to change speed, and in the vicinity of the city market, he descended part of the distance to the ground and seemed to hover and oscillate, as if the operator _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ on the ground, intending to get off. However, he may have come to the conclusion that this place is undesirable, since the ship soon rose to normal altitude and continued its way through the city to the southwest.
Among those who claim to have seen a visitor: Mrs. N. Stark, 207 North Livington Street, Mrs. Malani, 208 North Brirby, and two Helmus families in the area, in addition to many children.

AIRSHIP CROSSES LAKE MENDOTA AND ATTEMPTS TO STOP IN MADISON
An airship passed over Madison at dusk last evening. It seems to have attracted the most attention in the Seventh ward, where hundreds of people saw it. The interesting aerial craft appeared to come from across Lake Mendota and was traveling almost due south until it reached the city when it veered to a more southwesterly direction. The navigator seemed to be searching for a place to alight, for his craft seemed to vary its speed, and in the vicinity of the city market place, it descended part of the distance toward the earth and appeared to be hovering and hesitating as though the operator _________ the locality with the intention of alighting. However, he perhaps concluded that the place was not desirable, for the ship soon arose to its normal height and continued on its way across the city to the southwest. Among those who declare they saw the visitor are Mrs. N. Starck, 207 North Livington street, Mrs. Malaney, 208 North Brearby, the White girls and two Helmus families in that neighborhood, besides a multitude of children. At first there was doubt as to whether the craft was a balloon or an airship, but after watching for a time the spectators made out great wings of ______
Hypotheses
The airship
The aircraft lighter than air, which is a combination of the balloon with the mover (usually a screw with an electric motor or internal combustion engine) and the system of the orientation control (steering control), through which the airship can move in any direction regardless of the direction of air flow.
The shape of the airships are divided into:
