and swelled badly. At this writing it APP

NOVEL PHENOMENA. Two different at
mospherc phenomena have been noticed in

in this latitude. Sunday evening there
We're few clouds of peculiar reddish hue
in the eastern sky, and soon the waters of
| the Bay assumed purple shade, which con-
tinued half hour or more. A resident on
Northport avenue, who has lived there more

clouds and upon the smoke and steam from
the shoe factory, locomotives, etc. Persons

| form and colors of the buildings on Main
street plainly outlined thereon, the smoke
being between the sun and the spectators.
The mirage is often seen across the Bay,
Turtle Head and Dice Head appearing very
high and sometimes to be suspended above
the water. But this was very much nearer,
and from the conditions seemed to partake
more of the nature of refraction.
