MUCH comment has been excited in Bel
laire and vicinity by a considerable shower
of dust resembling finely sifted ashes. It
lasted several minutes, and was at first
hardly appreciable except by the haze
permeating atmosphere, and by looking
closely it could beiseen falling slowly like
mist or fine rain, but the sky was perfectly
clear. There were those who thought 1t
was pollen from white oak trees; but as
none was near enough to town to make
this theory plausible, it was given up.
Later it was learned that the same thing
was noticed in other parts of the county,
and now there is great deal of discussion
to shower of cosmic dust. 1t was noticed
at Bridgeport, at Belmont, Lloydsville and
Flushing, and is regarded as a phenome-
non. A few superstitious people take it as
an omen of evil.
