I would assume the salt deposit at the end of the paper towel while the water climb to the other end. Best result is saline water not salt water; which your body can tolerate.
It is an old chemist's trick while stranding in the middle of the ocean.
Also the effect of air pressure or air movements due to gravitational pulls of inter-planetary alignment and others is not assume to be constant. I can say that you are using a vacuum to push the air above the beaker with the water to force the water molecule to travel to the empty beaker via cohesion.
But wait a minute dude....does this prove that intermolecular forces of water is stronger than G force? isn't it like pitting quantum vs relativity and so forth?
Note both beaker is at similar height, thus potential energy is the same. Experiment failed..ahahahaha
You got cohesion and adhesion reversed. Cohesion happens between like molecules (within the water). Adhesion happens between dissimilar molecules (between water and paper towel).
So what is the force of adhesion? not hydrogen bond? isn't it the same thing? yeah, I probably got it confused from the O.P..

It's cohesion between like molecules and adhesion between the molecules of the paper and those of the water.

only one problem, you said the cohesive forces between the water and the paper towel. WRONG the adhesive forces between the water and the paper towel.
Remember that*
Cohesion: molecular force between particles of the same substance that hold the molecules together (like H2O + H2O)
and
Adhesion: molecular force of attraction between unlike substances, that hold them together

But you can use this experiment at sea, to filter salt water into fresh water...ahahaha if only the boat people know science!!!

@UnitedPebbles how? the paper towel doesn't filter the salt.
