THE AURORA observation-disclosures was
brilliant display of "Northern Lights, =
or as they are less familiarly known,
the aurora borcalis, in the northern
sky on Saturday night at 1880, which
was plainly discernible till after II
o'clock. The phenomena made its ap-
pearance in the form OF electric flashes,
widely spread out, and radiating up
wards. These grew gradually brighter
after the lights first were discovered.
Long tails, like those seen suspended
from comets, shot out from several
points over the blue sky, ard then the
lights were changed to a dull red. after
which they disappeared. The sight was
remarkably beautiful, and attracted
general attention.
