Drawer PS should be lowercase -> ps, so the link is: http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/data/ps/bell_206.ps

I don't see anything in the help nor in the import file dialog indicating that LibreOffice can import a PostScript file. I am aware that we can import EPS and PDF, which are derivatives of PostScript, but they are not the same thing. Therefore, in my opinion, this is a request for enhancement. 

Also in my opinion, adding a PostScript import filter should be WONTFIX.
