Kaiulani Arrives at Last.
The American bark Kaiulani, Captain
Colly, arrived from Auckland late
Monday and anchored off port, coming
inside yesterday morning. The Kaiu-

she looks as spick and span as ever.
For a long time she was at Auckland
undergoing repairs to damaged rigging
occasioned during a terrific gale in
which the bark almost foundered A
report of the accident after the bark
reached Auckland, follows: The bark
left Newcastle on April 16, and had
strong easterly winds and bad weather
for several days, thence fine weather
until passing the North Cape, on the
22nd day out from Newcastle. Fine
weather was then met with till May

WEATHER FORECAST.

Local forecast for Walla Walla and
vicinity: Tonight and Saturday rain
and cooler.
Washington: Rain tonight and Sat
urday; cooler east portion.
Weather Conditions.
The north Pacific storm area passed
eastward yesterday through western
Canada and another energetic storm is
moving from the ocean over British
Columbia 1t is causing general rain
or threatening weather over the
northern half of the Pacific slope, with
gales on the coast and high winds in
the interior. There has been a general
rise in temperature over the western
half of the country. A high area is
over the plateau, and another passing
over the south Atlantic states, giving
fair weather over the southern half
of the United States. The indications
are for continued rain in this vicinity
tonight and Saturday, with cooler
weather

THE COMETS TAIL.

An American astronomer has made
the prediction that this grand old
earth is to be brushed by the tail of
the HALEY comet some time next May,
and it is possible that something will
be doing" about that time which may
cause us all to take notice instead of
sitting idly by and permitting the north
pole discussion to occupy all of our
time. Anyhow, the prospect of such
contact with the comet should not
cause any alarm, as the tail of such
a heavenly wandered does not always
follow the head, like it is pictured.
Under the influence of not fully un-
derstood repulsive force it reaches out
in nearly straight line from the sun.
If the astronomers computation of the
course to be taken by Halley's comet
is correct, therefore, the tail might not
be seen sideways at the time of the
transit (May 49,, but might point
it were long enough, indeed, it might
extend to a considerable distance past
the earth, and for a time completely
environ the globe.
Comets tails are composed of ex-
tremely attenuated gas, and it is doubt
full if any effect would be observed if
the tail of Halley's comet should brusl,
the earth. At least one incident of the
kind is on record which passed utterly
unnoticed Computations made by the
astronomer Oilers after the transit of
comet in 1919, rendered it highly
probable that the earth was swept by
the tail, but the fact was not even
suspected until a month later. Perhaps
the atmosphere envelope of the globe
serves as a shield in such contingent
cies
formidable object than is popularity
supposed. There is reason to think
that the nucleus is a loose aggregation
of solid fragments resembling me-
teoric stones, from which, under the
influence of solar heat, an enormous
volume of luminous vapor is emitted.
Yet Herschel reported seeing faint
stars through the head of a comet
which measured $4,000 miles through.
A collision between the densest portion
of comet and the earth might slight
ly disarrange the material in the COM
ct, but it may be questioned whether
anything would happen to the earth
besides an unusually brilliant meteroic
shower
