HALLEY'S COMET

A few notes taken from a French
paper on an exceedingly interesting
subject just at present may not be
amiss.
Halley's Comet, which is inter
esting so many people, will reach its
closest point to the earth on May
18th. on this date the tail will
point directly toward the earth, as
the tail always points away from the
sun and the comet will be between
the earth and the sun. The most
beautiful view of the comet, how
ever, will be for several days just
before or Just after May 18th. The
earth is going at about $4,000 miles
an hour and the comet is travelling
at about 100000 miles an hour, and
on the night OF May 18th these two
bodies will rush past each other at
speed of about 10000 miles an
hour.
The tail of the comet is supposed
to be about 100000 miles long
and as the comet will be about 49,
100000 miles from the earth, we
will probably pass through whatever
there is OF this tail. According to
the best report, while this tail is
millions of miles long, If 1t could be
gathered up it could be put in a
small sized room.
Other than the light which may
be seen at night, its effect on the
earth will not be noticed.

THE RIGHT OF WAY.

Probably the smallest AUDIENCE
that has assembled at the Grand
Opera House during the present sea-
son was that which greeted the rem
dition of the flve act drama, "The
Right of Way" under the personal
direction of Theodore Roberts, Mon
day night. Those who failed to at
tend, without doubt, missed the treat
of the season, as the play, like the
novel, is one of the best before the
public at the present time. Hallett
Thompson, as Chas. Steele, was a
whole show in himself and the love
scene in the last act was one of the
most beautiful that has ever been
rendered at the local opera house.
The company was we'll balanced and
each one seemed to be admirably
fitted to the part they played, and
we venture the assertion that II the
fright of Way was to be repeated
again, the opera house would be
crowded to the walls.

Far above the ordinary are the
many interesting characters who
dwell in the districts of Yaquina
Bay. These men in time will be-
come a part of the legends of West
ern Oregon and their histories will
be recorded long after the names of
men of prominence and affluence at
the present time have faded from
sight in the oblivion Of time.
Among these is old man Buzzard,
who, at the age of IS, guards the
woods at the edge of Newport which
are owned by the Southern Pacific

SOME FAMILIAR NEWPORT CHARACTERS

Thus, in the capacity of watchman,
he was stilI able to earn and prob
ably receiving remuneration for the
first time without giving in exchange
hours of hard labor.
His sincere welcome, spoken in a
voice as soft as a Persian's, was inn
mediately a bond of friendship;
and his eyes lighted up in the pros
pect of a chat with somebody from
town, which was another world to
him. Being allowed to choose the
topics of the conversation that fol-
owed the greeting, he proceeded to
explain the responsibility of his du-
ties, and then gradually drifted back
to his early life, which he had spent
on farm in a state many miles
away and ending with a direct
question to his guest inquiring #
anything of Importance had hap
pened lately.
When the time to part with his
visitor arrived he turned. and, hold
ing out a thin but rough old hand,
he said: Goodbye, Boy. When
are you coming back?" The an
swer was lost in the farewell bark
ing Of the dog.

name was a terror to the near GRIM

Besides fighting several oral
duels, Dad established his fame as
marksman in a private shooting
match with one, not the first one,
George Washington, whom he chal-
lenged for a shoot on the outcome
of which one thousand dollars was
wagered. The target was an official
card, such as is used by doe" Car

tance of one hundred yards from
the contestants.
After the first shot however, Dad
discovered that the contest was a
put up" game; for he caught the
man in charge of the targets punch
ing false holes through his compe-
titor's cards; and, If it hadn't been
his off day for shooting. Dad would
have landed him before his ammu-
milton supply gave out.
