M. Coleman, the custodian OF the
city hall, and also weather signal
displayman and observer, is sadly
in need Of the proper instruments
with which to make careful and &C.
curate observations of the weather.
He says that during the cold snap
he was compelled to measure the
velocity OF the wind with a common
two-foot rule, and stand out doors
for an hour in order to catch the
atmospheric pressure. This spring
and summer he will be obliged to
hold tea cup during each rain
storm in order to get accurate
figures on the precipitation. This
work together with sitting up
nights to catch the aur oras and
other miscellaneous phenomena will
break down any man, and some
thing should be done in the way OF
supplying proper instruments for. a
man who spent his early days in
chasing sunbeams and playing be-
side the waterfalls in the Cheat
mountains.

In the meantime Village Attorney
Clark took exception to some re-
marks of q no-license club member

st. Cloud, was then employed.
The next man to fall under the eye
of the Minneapolis sleuth was DR..

out charging him with selling liquor
without a license. He had a trial
on Monday and was fined $25 and

ance at Gross Opera y
r. House. p

1.-THE Deacon" q t1ve-act comedy
drama, was presented at Gross opera
house on Tuesday evening by our
home dramatic company under the
auspices Of the Odd Fellows lodge,
There was u large audience and
every one present was well pleased
with the play. w. A. Butler ap-
peared in the role of 1.-THE Deacon
who has a passion for lemonade
with a stick in it and the part could
not have been played better. H. E.
Meyers, as Mart Wheeler, the Evil
lian," had true conception OF the
part and played it to perfection.
The part of George Graef was taken
by f. N.>Laird. 1t was his mission
to jail the william and did it as If he
was used to that sort of thing every
day. Alex Van Praag appeared us
the organ grinder and James Reed,
but in the part of the organ grinder
he excelled and was an ideal Dago
with a monk. C. H. Brown as the
clergyman was perfection itself.
Will Hall as Pete, the colored SER
want, and Elias Brown as the Dea-
cons boy, were simply immense and
their appearance was a signal for
the house to come down. Miss
Buchanan was excellent as the digni-
fed Mrs. Thornton as was also Miss
Jennie Brown as Helen, her daugh-
ter. The part OF the maiden lady,
who was always ready to get mar
ried was we'll interpreted 10y Mrs. G.
H. Brown and her love making with
the Deacon was amusing in the ex-
trelne. Miss Rose Vasaly as Mrs.
Darrah, the deserted wife, was per-
feet in the part and made big hit
in it. Miss Frankie FOrtier as her
daughter, was cute and seemed per-
fectly at home on the stage. Mrs. w.
H. Hall who played the part of Daisy,
Mrs. ThOrntOn's servant, was good
and her little dialogues with Pete,
the colored servant, were highly
amusing.
The company is strong one
throughout much more so than
many professional companies than
make this city.

sun was then about 1900, 600 miles. or
nearly one and one-half times the dis
lance OF the earth, and that its inclina-
ton to the ecliptic was degrees 10 min
utes, an angle smaller than that of some
of the asteroid
This small inclination leads to the in
ference that ths comet is member OF
our solar system and also that 1t has
snort period. But those infersnces do not
necessarily follow. and Professor w. J.
Hussey of the Stanford university, in
letter to the writer dated Septem Der s.
says:
From other observations I have OBJ
famed new elements, as follows: Time
OF perihelion passage, Aust Is; longitude
OF perIhelion. 339 degr es Is minutes. 81
seconds; longitude o. .ods. 10 degrees.
10 minutes, 80 seconds; inclination, de-
grees, minutes, 81 seconds; perihelion
distance, 1.43772; eccentricity, unity. In
deriving these elements | have made tho
computations by the general method, and
have obtained a parabolic orbit. I had
expected to obtain an ellipss OF rather
small eccentricity, but so far as the OBJ
servatlons which l used are concerned,
the orbit is sensibly parabo'a."
II Professor Husseys conclusion is cor
rect, the comet came to Us from some
other star system and will speed out
ward into ;ntsrstellar space, ultimately
leaving the dominion of the sun and ell
tering the realm of some star whose dis
lance is so great that IL will probably
take the comet millions of years to ira

The meeting was opened by a song by

Schlesinger. tenor solo was rendered
in most feeling way by J. R. Green.
Professor Bach was the accompanist.
DR.. Schlesinger gave a few more tests
and then those present listened to neat
little eulogium from recent convert,
who told OF his implicit confidence in
those who were leading him. Mrs. Cowell
of Oakland then addressed the meeting.
She said, in part:
Friends, we gather here once more,
and l wonder how many of us have come
with seriousi realization of the condI-
ton that shall be ours in the future life."
At this interesting point the speaker ex-
planned to the audience that she did not
cume from the east end of London, as the
reporters had stated to the public. She
had, however, she admitted. once been a
native of the grea metropolis and was
proud of the fact. She was on the broad
way that led onward and upward and
pleaded with her hearers to lay down all
superstition, and hoped that the day
would be fastened when all the world
would recognize the true way. ut is a

that puts all on their own individuality.

listed in the world beyond. To a man in
the audience the medium gave a message
from a spirit friend who said: Through

Mrs. Maude Freitag then delivered
trance address. She announced that her
text would be, Come unto me all We that

you rest. The burden of her remarks was
to the effect that no matter how rich or
how pooreea man might be he could only
hopetto DO recognized as o soul by the

was ever close to mortal man and life is
uncertain and evanescent. The meeting
was closed by a few remarks from Dr..

THE ART OF HOME MAKING
II Is Outlined by Mrs. Kate Upper
Galpin
News happenings Of Interest at Pasadena.
The Becker Piano Recltai-Local
4 News r1atter

Pasadena March Mrs. Kate Tuppe'
course at the residence of O. Stewart Tay-
lor this morning, taking as her subject,
The Essentials of Home Making. This
interesting theme was listened to very at
eentively by an audience OF over forty
ladies and was handled in a very forcible
manner by the speaker. The history of
the home from early times was traced
down to the present date of new and
coming women. Woman's part in the
making OF the home is at least half and a
most important half. Man provides the
raw material but it devolves upon her to
prepare the material for use and con-
sumation. The only argument against
the advance OF woman in freedom and
progress which has any weight is that the
home will be swept away. There is little
danger Of this, but on the other hand 1t
will be elevated by the uplifting of woman.
This house does not make the home. The
mere shell or habitation is not what con-
stitutes the home. 1t is the character OF
the occupants which makes up the true,
essential attributes of home. 1t is not the
stead OF being protected by it. 1t is the
fundamental safeguard of our nation. 1t
is the moulder of character and has no
limitations, save character. The children
are the first and most important care OF
the home. Even the Nineteenth century
woman cannot do everything and the es-
sentials must be looked to. The children
are the coming parents, and their proper
education is all important, and the natural
development of the child's nature, both
emotional and practical should be made
matter OF careful study.
