 A FLYING METEOR-Cne of the
 most spectacular meteors ever seen in Y this part of the country apparently passed directly over Phoenix last night
 at 7:10 o'clock. It was first observed
 in the southeast by persons sitting in
 the court house plaza. It seemed to be moving upward when it was first seen and was thought to be a burning ! paper balloon. Within half a minute ? after the first sight 1t was moving fast CT than any balloon ever moved in the l fercest gale. By this time its apparent t course was horizontal, in a westerly
 direction. It seemed to consist of two n bodies not entirely separated and was
 moving almost with the rapidity of a = lightning flash To those who werr
 watching it from the plaza it looked
 as if the path were directly over the
 courthouse. By the time the watcher!
 could run around the building to the
 front the meteor was fading away intC
 the north west. As it passed above
 the courthouse it did not seem to be
 more than 200 feet above the surface
 of the earth but it was probably tha
 many miles at least, above. Its appar-
 ent upward course when it was frs seen was no doubt due to the fact O 1 its approach upon the horizon.

BOARD OF ESTIMATE T|EFOR
SELECTION OF BUILDING SITE.
One Member of the Board Was Absent Last
Might and No Settlement was Reached
Mayor and Alderman Donovan Against First
Ward Two School Commissioners Favor It,

When the question of approving the
resolutions passed by the Poard of
Education, making request for $35, =
600 to build school in Paterson
stroet, came up before the Board of
Estimate, last night, there were just
four members on hand, Aldermen
Runyon being the absentee. On tie
first ballot the vote stood 22, School
Commissioners Massopust and Poulsen
voting in favor of it and Mayor Sea-
man and Alderman Donovan voting
aga inst it.
A second ballot had the same result,
and, as there seemed to he deadlock,
the board adjourned until Monday
night. From, the remarks of Alderman
Runyon at the previous meeting of
the Board of Estimate, it appears worry
likely that ho will vote in favor of
the resolution. Thus, if all the men,
b,rs are present Monday night, the
project of putting twelve room,
$50. 900 school building in King street
will, in all probability, be killed.
AS told III the News, the Board of
Education passed resolution asking
for funds for an oight-room addi ion to
s jhool No. /, Ill State street. The
Board of Estimate suggested n
twelve-room school in King street.
Then petition was circulated among
the residents of the first ward asking
that the new school be placed south of
Gordon street. Tho Chamber of Com
M 9rce also took the matter up. At
special meetin Tuesday night Of this
W eek tho Board of Education, as told
in the News, passed the new resolu-
tion which WAS presented to the
Board OF Etsi niato last night.
