DeLand NelOs: Under the present state
law the city of DeLand cannot bond. Since
the revised statutes of the state of Florida
have been issued and by official proclama-
ton duly declared in force it has been dis
covered by our city attorneys that under
the present charter Of the city Of DeLand
bonds cannot be legally issued. Under the
city charter all duly qualified electors are
allowed to vote in all city elections when
they are properly registered, while under
the state law none but owners Of real estate
who have paid their taxes for the year
previous are allowed to vote on the question
of bonding. Thus it will be seen that De-
Land cannot bond until the charter is
changed to meet the requirements OF the
state law. This change cannot be made
until the legislature meets next April. This
is unfortunate for our city, for we believe
that our people are mainly in favor OF bond
ing for street improvements and water
works.
The Tropical Sun prints a remarkable
letter written by r. n. Andrews OF Cocoa
describing strange observations Of the
planet Jupiter on the evening OF July Is.
Mr.. Andrews writes that Jupiter had risen
about five minutes above the tree tops on
the peninsuar, probably about fifteen min
utes above the horizon, when he appeared
to begin a series Of observations that aston
ished those who happened to be where they
could see them. He seemed, In the first
place, TO be unduly magnided, appeared to
be developing into full grown moon; then
he began moving rapidly to the north, to a
distance measured by local landmarks OF a
quarter of mile; then he remained station
airy for several seconds. His next move
was swift return to his apparent first
position; he then swiftly mounted
upward to about ap hour above the horizon:
stationary a moment, then back to his ap-
parent original position. The apparent
movements continued IOr Iuu ten minutes,
varying in distance and speed sometimes
short and quick, then slower and long.
Once he appeared TO describe the segment
Of a circle, climbing the curve slowly aud
gracefully. During thsse observations the
planet varied in apparent magnitude and
brillianoy. Once while making a long,
swift run TO the northward, he was
described by an excited individual as "a
big ball Of fire running along over the tree
tops" At other times mis- light di Unfinished
till he appeared to be a star of
the second or third magnitude. Mr.. An
drews says that his statement has been pre-
pared at the request of A. j. Mitchell, OBJ
server Of the United States weather bureau
at Jupiter Fla, for reference to the depart
ment at Washington. II the phenomenon
is Of sufficient interest to warrant further
investigation the writer will cheerEully give
any information that he may have Mr.
Andrews believes that some unusual atmos-
pheric disturbance was taking place at the
time and produced these distortions or OBJ
servations which seemed to the twenty or
more observers TO be veritable movements
OF the planet.
