Damage Done.

San Francisco, Oct. 19.-Dr. August
Greth, who for a year past has been
unostentatiously working on an air
ship, yesterday surprised the residents
of San Francisco by sailing for two
hours over their heads, directing the
strating that in many essentials he
has solved the problem Of aerial navi-
cation. ~
I, Dr. Greth previously had tested his
alrship, by making ascensions with the
balloon held captive by a long rope,
but to-day was the first time that he
had gone skyward free. The ascen-
sion was made from lot almost in
the heart of the city, and DR.. Greth
attempted to encircle towering news
paper building about a mile eastward,
but he found the high currents too
strong for his power, and he turned in
an opposite direction. The winds car
ried him oceanward, and for time he
lowered over the vicinity Of the
Golden Gate. making. various success
ful trials of his steering gear. The
currents threatened to take him out
over the Pacific, and he decided to
make landing on the parade grounds
OF the Preside military reservation,
but he made the mistake of letting out
too much gas, and landed in the bay
about 200 feet from shore. The crew

The balloon Of Greth is cigar-shaped
and has capacity Of 5000 feet OF

to 1000 pounds. The car is similar ir
construction to that used by Santos.

The engine is a twelve horse power
gasolene motor, and the total weigh
