ITS FINGER POINTED TOWARD FINDLAY, OHIO
CAUSING CoNsrE nNATIOv AMONG THE PEOPLE
Findlay, Ohio May % spcciaD.-A strange spectacle
was visible the northern sky hero last night shortly
after IL O'clock which has caused the greatest constcr
nation among tho people. 1t was the representation OF
a human hand Of immense proportions, awc-nspirng in
its realistic vvidness Early In the evening the sky In
the north had peculiar appearance which, as the
night wore on, took the form of flashes OF light con-
stantly changing in color pulsng up from tho horizon
and again subsidng, but with each appearance becom
ing moro brilliant and unnatural. This continued
until about IL O'Clock, when those watching the phs
nomena were terrified to these plumes of light
centrating into distinct object, which soon assumed
the nroportions Of giant hand, well formed and
distinct as If painted upon the black background Of
the sky.
The hand appeared to be shadowy substance
through which of light Of blood rel color surged
s regulariy as heartbcats in human breast and then
fell of at the ends of the fingers in drops OF the samo
color almost as large hot-air balloons The first
finger of the hand pointed down toward the sleeping
city as II warning the people of some WOO about to fall
upon them
The spectacle lasted for about an hour and was wilt
messed hv hundreds who breathless with sur
ed eycitrment until slowly began to fade away
and finally disappeared altogether. IL was one OF the
srances and vet most impressive exhibitions OF nature
ever Witnessed and speculation regarding tS cause
and Significance will not abatc for many day.

Council at tho meeting next Monday, says:
"The recent devastation of st. Paups Church anu
other alarming circumstances that occurred at The

until somc proper and reliable safeguard can DO pro
vded AGAINST q recurrence Of such a calamity we un-
hesitatincly recommend that the supply OF natural

AS there are probably 900 persons in the city who

Mr.. ODay added that there were four valves doing
