Superiore, a hamlet eight miles from Messina, with the loss of the entire crew of nine, was the grim sequel to a scries of misfortunes which have dogged the Pembroke Dock Singapore flight.
Owing to engine trouble and in- fluenza the squadron was held up at Naples and was already a fort- night behind its schedule.
This morning two of the ma chines, K 3595 and K 3592, were ordered to proceed on their way and they left Naples for Malta at 10 o'clock.
At noon the few villagers of San Filippa Superiore heard a machine zooming over their heads amid the clouds.
With a terrific noise it crashed Into a spur of the 4,000ft, high Pelaritana Mountain and burst immediately into flames.
The villagers tried to get near, but the Domes were like an in- ferno, with sparks and smoke bursting from the machine.
They ran down the mountainside for assistance, and after a journey of two and a half hours returned with Aremen and officials on don. keyн.
Other villagers gathered how and threw it on the plane in an attempt to extinguish the fire.

A survey conducted by physic- Hans and other scientists revealed interesting data as to the probable causes of longevity.
All the Bulgarian super-cente- narians are peasants; not a single city dweller is Among them. Most of them are shepherds from mountainous regions. It acems therefore that the harder struggle of life among the barren mountaina exert a healthy in- fluence.

Practically all the centenarians are below middle size of stocky stature with particularly large chests. Nearly all married early, between 20 and 25, none of them after the age of 36.
