Test Was Postponed.

Dayton, O., May 27-The Wright flying
machine, invented by Orville and Wilbur
Wright, brothers of this city, who made
a successful fight at Kittyhawk, n. c.,
in December last, has been given another
test near this city which the brothers say
was successful. Secrecy was maintained
about the test and few witnessed it. The
machine, after being propelled hundred
feet. rose in the air and flew thirty feet.
when it dropped. This was due, the navi-
gators say, to a arrangement of the gaso-
line engine that furnished power. In the
fall the propellers were broken and the
test could not be repeated. The Wrights
decline to give any information when
asked as to their future purposes.

Supervisors Favor Purchase
of Land for an Auxiliary

WILL CONSIDER OFFER
Selection of Block of Prop
erty for New Public Lii
brary to Be Determined

The Supervisors joint Committee on
Fire, Utilities and Finance yesterday
considered the advisability of insti-
tuting proceedings for the con-
demnation Of land on Twin
Peaks as a reservoir site for an
auxiliary high-pressure, 10000, ,0OO-gal-
lon water supply system for increased
fire protection. The Market and Stan
yam Streets Improvement Company,
through it's president, Orville d. Bald
win, offered to sell forty-seven acres
for the purpose at $4,000 per acre, or
$141.000, but the committee thought this
too high. The land is assessed for only
| $22, 2,o0O
! City Engineer Woodward recon-
mended the purchase Of the entire
tract, a portion of which could be ntil-
lied for park, as already proposed.
After some discussion Baldwin agreed
to call a meeting of his board Of di-
rectors and submit another offer for
the sale of the forty-seyen acres, the
committee having decided that the en-
tire tract be bought by the city. 1t was
stated that the company would not sell
at less than $4,000 an acre. Although
S150,000 has been appropriated for the
system, the city may only eXpend $780,
600 each year for the purchase of lands
The committee will meet next Friday
at D. m. to consider the offer.
AT the same time 1t will also take up
the proposed acquisition of block of
land for the new public library the
bond issue for which was sold to a
bank syndicate. Two blocks are under
consideration, one bounded by Hayes,
Fell, Van Ness and Franklin, which is
favored by the library trustees. and
the other by Fulton, Grove, Polk and
decided to invite bids for sites for the
library, but thought it better to defer
action, as 1t is not certain that either
of the sites mentioned will be the civic
center Of the new San Francisco, for
whose adornment ideas are proposed.

Svend Hansen, a young Norwegian
sailorman, who for a number of years
has been employed on coasting vessels
running into this port, has just re-
turned from a visit to Norway, and
brings with him news of an interesting
discovery made by a farmer neighbor
of the old folks at home. He also
brings a photograph of the find.
While plowing a few months ago
this Norwegian farmer, whose land lies
about ten miles inland from the port of
Tonsberg, wrecked his plow against
what he thought was a stump. Investi-
cation showed that he had been in col
lision with a Viking ship, the stout
oaken prov of which lay within a foot
of the soils surface.
The farmer hitched team to the
supposed stump, but all the available
horse power failed to stir the obstruc-
ton. The ground was dug away from
around the PROV. The more the farm
er dug the more he found, and when
the work of excavation was finished
spade-made dock, lay the strangest
looking craft twentieth century eyes
had ever gazed upon.
Scientists visited the relic and are
still trying to wrest it's secret from this
gotten. The bones of a woman were
found in an oaken chest which lay fore
and aft in the center of the ship.
Before Hansen left his old home, a
month or so ago, one of the scientists

DIES WHEN STARTING
FOR EASTERN HOME
Patrick j. Regan, Discharged Marine,
Buys Ticket for New York and
Goes TO Morgue Instead.

Patrick j., Regan, formerly a ma
rine soldier, was to have started yes
terday morning for his home in New
York, but through a simple slip of the
thumb his body was sent to the
Morgue. He was suffocated during
the night by Illuminating gas, which
was escaping from a partly opened
valve at 229h Sixth street Regan
had paid $50 10 for a second class
railway ticket and had sent 500 to
his brother at 232 East Forty-sixth
street, New York City. He had been
drinking. All that was on the person
of the dead man yesterday were the
railway ticket and SO cents. The the
ory of the Morgue officials is that be-
ing intoxicated he partly turned on
the key of the gas fixture after he had
shut it off. Regan was unmarried
and ~ years old.

told him the result of their investiga-
tions as far as they had gone. The ship,
said the man of science, undoubtedly
belonged to the eighth century. 1t had
been brought from the sea, which in
those days was not ten miles distant,
by way of a gulch that is still visible.
The vessel had been dragged ashore,
taken on rollers to an excavation and
there buried. The reason for all this,
the learned man thought, was to be
found In the box of bones. That box,
he said, had been the coffin of a Prin-
cess, to whose memory the vikings had
paid the highest tribute In their power
by giving UP a warship. their most val
ued possession, to be used as a sarco-
phagus for the fair lady's mortal re-
mains.
Such of the ships planking as was
found is in good condition, and the
buried beside the craft, are stiIl tough
enough for use. A board was found on
which were inscribed characters which
the scientists are now trying to trans
late. The farmer on whose land the
ship was found was trying to sell his
find to the Norwegian Government
when Hansen left home. He wanted
80. 900 crowns for 1t. The vessel is about
ninety feet long. No arms were found
near by, the soil having been excavated
for some distance on all sides. The
boat, the oars, the bones and the for
gotten script on a decaying board are
all that the twentieth century has upon
which to reconstruct a lost chapter of
eighth century history or romance.

leges that Donaldson represented to

estate business, promising if Phillips
gave him $500 to guarantee him an
income of SIS per month and also to
give him a deed to five lots in this city.
At the end of six months the $500 was
to be returned to Phillips. The money
was paid in September, but Phillips
says he has not received a cent from
Donaldson. He got deed to the lots,
but Donaldson secured 1t again on the
