Esa estrella gfsnde y rojiza
que centellea como TN ojo iracundo
ALA en- la b6veda del cielo, hacia el
sudeste, en- estas noches de julio,
es el planeta Marie, mas cerca en-
Ia actualidad de nosotros que 10

que tai vez pueda estarlo nunca.

rante muchos afios han estado es-
perando ansiosamente los astr6no-

pios 81 eaiste la especie humsua
en- ese planeta 8 ST alli no sonrfe la

Los telescopes @mpleados en-
toda la extension del mundo han
estado apuntados hacia Marie en-
estos 1ltimos dfas; los mas exper-

astr6nomo alguuo, por consiguien

Pero los ojos de la camara son mas

commissioners of the Cypremort
Drainage District authorize their

Sheriff for S29.75 on account of
overpaymcnt to it of the Tax

Upon the Sheriff exhibiting to
