;, An UNEXPLAINED PHENoMENoN.- AT
intervals during the past ten days our peo'
ME might have been seen standing in clus-
: tiers on Man-st, gazing intcntly towards
the mountain. The occasion Of this has
been the appearance of tall, slender COL
INNS of either smoke or vapor that nave
: risen perpcndicularly and as straight as an
. arrow in the immediate locality of Chin
y new Rock. On Friday morning last we
0 were called into the street to witness the
4 occurrence and at the time within half
v hour probably saw as many rs forty or nj
= ty of these columns rise and disappear r.
By comparison with the height of fiat
r topped pine tree that stands by the SIDE OF
r, Chimney Rock, We estimated the he'sh'
( to which these columns arose to have beer
from $50 to $50 feet An empoye of THU
X Office and another gentleman viewed then
rs on Saturday morning from point IN TIT
g mountain west of Chimney Rock and b!
r them the location was fixed the same n
v from a point in town. The columns r's
,. with great rapidity and were described b.
these two gentlemen as coming up a
n though shot out of gun. They are OF
v very dark color, vary but little in size an
al do not move off, but dssipatc almost IN
- mcdiatclv after they have reached Gel
he tain height. Occasionally may he notice
IN darker mass, something larger than III
balance of the column, but all disappear
ne ot once. We visited the grounds early !
nd the morning and remained until noon, Il
Nv oethcr with number of other citizen
on looked the ground over carefully LOT e'
