The bulletin then referred to the
time of transit and of entry by the
earth into the tail of the comet as
given previously by Prof. Leuscher.
The bulletin then says the comet
will not be nearest the earth at the
time of transit, but the closest ap-
proach will occur a day or two later
The exact instant is now under COM
putation."
Then follows a reference to the
decrease in the size of the comets
tail as it approached the earth and
the time taken by the earth in pass
ing through the tail of the comet.
THE earth will not pass exactly
through the center of the TAIL" the
bulletin continues, but the devia-
ton is so slight that it will not ma
terially affect the duration of tran
sit through the tail. theoretically.
the tail of the comet will stretch
horizon to horizon just before and
after transit as seen from the earth.
1t would probably be family dis
cernable in the southwestern sky if
the moon were out of the way. But
owing to the bright moonlight prob
ably not even a faint glow will lie
The phenomena will
therefore pass entirely unnoticed by
the people of the American conti-
nent and it is doubtful whether the
observers of the Orient for whom
the transit is theoretically visible
will actually discern the comet on
the suns disc"
The information confined in this
bulletin has been cabled to a party
of American astronomers now at
Honolulu who crossed the. Pacific
to view the comets tran.
sit across the sun.

it is alleged, advanced the money un.
der the impression that the machine
belonged to Burton, but it now devel-

Children smother in Chest.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.I

Boise, Idaho, May 18.-Clasped in
each others arms, the bodies of the
little children of Harry Schier, of
South Boise, Agnes, aged 8, Willie
aged 4, were found locked in tool
chest in the woodshed at their home
today. The children apparently had
atcidently locked themselves in the
chest while at play yesterday after
noon and were suffocated The chest
was self-locking, and it is supposed
that one of the children pulled the
lid down after they had climbed into
it, or that the lid fell, imprisoning
them. When the absence of the chill
dren became known late last night
searching parties started out, and all
through the night a hundred men
the surrounding country and
dragged the irrigation canals. Today
a child of neighbor opened the
chest to take out some rags, and dis
covered the bodies.

A STRANGE
DISEASE IN
PORTLAND
DOCTORS ARE PUZZLED. IT
SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF BOTH
SCARLET FEVER AND MEA.
SIZES.

A strange, heretofore unheard-of
disease has made its appearance in
Portland and the medical fraternity
is baffled. Even City Health Officer
Wheeler is unable to define it, and
admits that he cannot. IL is a cross
between scarlet fever and the mea-
sles," is as nearly as he can get to
a diagnosis, and he is watching de-
velopments carefully to determine
whether it will develop into any
thing serious.
There are several cases of this
strange malady. One that has at
tracted particular attention is that
of 15-year-old girl who lives at
the head of College street. The
back is mass of scarlet fever rash
while her chest and limbs are
strongly indicative of measles. The
quarantine flag that floats from the
front porch indicates measles, but
DR.. Wheeler last night declared that
he is at loss to say what it is.
Symptoms Are Conflicting.
"The girl has scarlet fever symp-
toms of the strongest kind" said the
health officer, yet she has no fever
at all Her tongue is moist; she
has scarlet fever rash on her back,
but on her chest and limbs is mea-
sles. 1t is sopething unheard of, so
far as 1 know; 1 cannot say at this
time what it is. I quarantined for
measles, but with the understanding
that if it develops scarlet fever, l
shall change the flag"
