Some Interesting Facts Concerning The
Shining Worlds Above Us.


Shining Worlds Above Us.
Nearly everybody for tn: past two or
three nights have been watching for the
me,eoric shower predicted by astrono-
mers. AS our eyes wandered ever the
vast expanse OF the sky, searching for
this wonderful phenomenon, we beheld
millions of stars, differing in size and
color.
There were some that twinkled, and
others that shone with clear, steady light.
Then there is the sun whose very bright
ness is a veil that hides its true form
from the naked eye and the moon. call
ed by poets Queen Of Night" isequally
as mysterious.
At the Y. NJ. c. A Prof. A. NJ. Skin
ner, of the Naval Observatory. has kindly
consented to tell some interesting facts,
and by means of the stereopticon, to
show the sun, moon and other heavenly
bodies as they appear through the tele-
scope. Do not expect something dry
and dull. Upon the screen will be
thrown the sun. its spots, red prominen-
ces and its total eclipse: the planets
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn; the moon,

the distribution OF the stars in the sky

Great Time For The Smiths.

Mr.. Willard Salisbury suggests Gel.
John Walter Smith, leader OF the victori-
Gus Maryland Democrats. as a Presi-
Dental possibility in 1904. The sugges-
ton will bear analysis. No doubt all
the Smiths in the land would vote for
him, and all the Joneses and Browns
would doubtless do likewise, in the hope
that their families might hereby be placed
in the line of legitimate succession.
The enormous support. coupled with
Colonel Smiths qualities as whirlwind
campaigner. would make him an irresis
tible candidate. But he would first have
to drop the "Walter" from his name and
come before the people as plain "John

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by lOcalapplicatlons,as they cannotreach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way Ia cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to It's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
