Thb Air Ship at Last. All Cali
fornia has been talking this past week
about a mysterious air ship which, it
is alleged, baa been seen at Sacra
mento, San Francisco, Oakland, Marin
county, San Jose and elsewhere. lie
first appearance wee noted at Saora
mento Tuesday night of. last week,
when it was seen hovering over the
city, casting ita searchlight about from
an elevated position. No less thsn a
score of reputable people assert that
they saw it distinctly, and at least two
men, supposed to be truthful, are able
to describe its appearance. One heard
ita occupants singing in chorus, and
another beard ita captain give di
rection to ateer away from a church
steeple. In spile of this specifio testi
mony, most people believe the air ship
to be a hoax, though its existenoe is
claimed to be a faot by a very credita
ble witness, namely, Mr. George B.
Collins. According to Mr. Collins'
story tbe inventor ie an Eastern man
ol wealth, and hie sbip, which is about
160 feet long, waa built in a retired
forest plaoe near Oroville. He is, he
says, the attorney for the inventor,
and be asaerte positively that the
sbip aailed last week from Oroville to
thie city, passing over Sacramento,
and that it has made nightly voyages
in the region rouud about 8an Fran
cisco since that time. It la now near
Oakland carefully guarded and will
soou be aailed in broad daylight over
San Francisco, and will hover in sight
of everybody over the most thickly
populated part of the uity. Paoific

fatal billons fevers. No medicine will act
