SEVERAL weeks ago San Francisco,
it was very seriously announced, had
been visited with a very mysterious
aerial historian air ship seen by
hundreds floating every night above
the city, and shining to. the gaping
crowd varicolored lights. This phan-
tom flyer was never very clearly dis
cerned, but still well-enough defined
to warrant imperfect description.
Later Omaha was the recipient of like
visits, and during the past ten days
Iowa. and Minnesota points have
seen the mystify1ng ship, the daily
press containing half score. of dis
patches more or less probable, an
nouncing its appearance over an area
of two hundred miles square. Ever
since last Saturday night Minneapo-
lis has been the centre of attention in
the part of the uncarring night hawk
and any number of citizens have SER
) iously avowed that they have seen it
distinctly, have described it's appear
ance, it's size, it's manner of flight, and
other features. until half the city has
been converted to the belief that it
really exists. That something out of
the ordinary has been witnessed is
probably true, that it is an air ship is
just as probably false-but that heated
imagination has been played upon by
practical jokers with kites and toy
balloons is doubtless the true explana-
ton.
