Sky Gazers of This City Were Disap-
pointed Last Night.


Thus far BieIas' comet has been hau-
died in the papers by the telegraph
editors only, but it has approached so
rapidly that last night local reporters
we're detailed to look after it. The
comet was to hs We been visible to the
naked eye. and perhaps would have
been had not Ii e clouds 90 obscured
the heavens. Everybody in the city
had. of course, heard that the comet
was due, and groups of anxious watch
ers could be seen on nearly every door
step, with necks bent nearly double,
gazing toward the zenith in the vain
hope of catching q momentary glimpse
of the monster through rift in the
rapidly flying clouds. On clear nights
it has been seen through the largo tel.
escope in the Western Michigan COL
lege. On the first clear night the IN
strument will be taken out on the
lawn. and the public will be invited to
view the comet Through it. Tonight il
the weather Is fair and the sky 10 clear
thousands will watch for the heavenly
straggler.
