POLARIS COMING
AT HIGH SPEED.
Star Headed Directly Toward Earth
-AStr onomer Frost Discovers
New Binary System.

New Binary System.
Williams Bay, Wis, Oct IA star IS
coming at high speed for the earth, so
say astronomers. 1t is now proved, al
most beyond the shadow of a doubt, that
the familiar pole star, known to astrono-
mers as POlaris, is in reality a double
star. To be more exact, the polar star
which we see has a companion which Is
unseen, and the two revolve about each
other, or rather about a common center
of gravity, as the two balls of dumb-bell
might revolve if suspended by the con-
Meeting bar.
The theory has been confirmed by
Prof. Edwin B. Frost of the Yerkes OBJ
servatory, whose observations and meas
urements tally almost exactly with those
made by Prof. Campbell. who first adj
vanced the theory.
Polaris and it's unseen companion
make complete revolutions in three days
twenty-four hours. Both together, or
the three, if there be three, are moving
toward the earth with velocity of nine
miles per second, $40 miles minute, 81
400 miles an hour, $4,000 miles a day,
2S3, 49,, 900 miles a year. Though COM
ing at such an incredible rate of speed,
there is no danger that in any immedi-
ate future Polaris will ever collide with
our earth In fact there has been ne
appreciable difference in the appearance
OF the star, in spite of its rapid approach.
during the past thousand years. This
is due to the fact that the star in Ques>
ton is many times as far away as the

TONED as passing up Red river with
