Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, To-day. Observers of the weather were not sanguine on Saturday about the flight being made that night. During Saturday morning a balloon test was made by the magnetic observatory, and it was found that, although the wind was light on the ground level, there was a high wind velocity at a low altitude, and at 6,000 ft a 60-mile-an-hour gale was blowing. Beyond that height the velocity diminished, but at 11,000 ft the velocity wae 45 miles an hour. The direction ■was west by north.
