A Perfect AiKship.

San francisco, Cal, Nov. %
The Chronicle prints story which
would ina cate that the airsnip in
practicable form is an established
fact.
About l o'clock last Monday
mornino the inhabitants IF Sacra-
mento no were astir at that hour
c aim to have seen an airship pass
ing rapidly over tie city. Some
merely said they saw a bright light,
while others went so far as to say
they saw a cigar-shaped flying ma
chine and heard human voices from
it. The residents of Oakland also
say they saw the same sight.
The story of the mysterious air
ship has been told all over the State
and has created considerable amuse-
ment, as it was generally believed
to be hoax. The Chronicle prints
an interview with George D. Collins,
a reputable lawyer of this city, who
says that the airship.is reality, At
torney Collins says:
''It is perfectly true that there is
at last successful airship in exis-
tence. / am acting as attorney fol-
the inventor. He is a very wealthy
man, who has been studying the
subject of flying machines for ff-
teen years, and who came here sew.
en- years ago from the State of
Maine in order to be able to perfect
his ideas away from the eyes of 9th,
err inventors. During the last five
years he has spent at least 100000
on his work. He has not yet secured
his patent, but his application is al
Washington.
81 saw the machine one night last
week at the inventors invitation. 1t
is made of metal, is about $50 feet
long and is made to carry fifteen
persons,
SIT is built on the aeroplane sYs-
tenn and has two canvas wings Is
feet wide and a rudder like a birds
tail. l saw the thing ascend about
90 feet under perfect control.
"TherepOrts from Sacramento the
other night were true. 1t was my
clients airship that the people saw.
1t started from Oroville, in Butte
county, and flew sixty miles in g
straight line directly over Sacramen
to. After running up and down
once over the capital my friend
came on a distance of another seven
ty miles and landed at a spot on the
Oakland side of the bay, where the
machine now lies, guarded by three
men.
I'm another six days several de-
fects will be done away with, and il
is then his intention to hy right
over San Francisco. The inventor
has forsaken the ids of Maxim
and Langley sntirely in building the
machine and has constructed it on
an absolutely new theory"
In spi of Mr.. Collins statement
there are many skeptics who say
fatty they do not believe his story.
1t is almost incredible that an air
ship $50 feet long could be secreted
in any building near San francisco
without the fact being made public.

agreeing, on condition that the bill
also specify that all teachers in the
Catholic schools should pass the quail

This clause met opposition from the
