Lookout For The MeteOrS.
From Sunday to Tuesday of the
ensuing week the earth will GROSS
the track of that celestial wanderer
known as Temples comet, which
is accompanied by a few millions of
meteors of varying size that are ex-
pected to present display of
much beauty in the heavens. This
comet and it's meteorio lombard
ment comes this way only every
834 years. SO it should be appre-
dated. There is no necessity for
hiding in the cellars during the
time the comet is shooting it's stars
at us, for the meteors are all small
ones that will be consumed by
friction in passing through the
atmosphere long before they can
reach the earth. 1t is stated that
the meteors can be best seen by
young folks who are congenially
paired together watching them
from dimly- lighted room or stroll
ing in the moonlight. The soient.
lists say, however, that there is no
necessity for holding hands while
the meteors are being waited for.
