by Gardeners Through
out Season.
BOARD ISSUES AN ORDER

The petition of the market gardeners
which was presented to the board of
public works yesterday asking that the
East End market be established again
this year was granted by the board
this morning. The market place will
be the same as formerly between FIJI
teenth and Sixteenth streets on the
north side Of Main street in the va
cant lot. The place will be thorough
~ cleaned up and the sheds will be
erected Immediately. The residents
especially in the east end will be very
much gratiffed over the reestablish-
ment Of the market in that section Of
the city. The plan OF establishing =
central market place was talked Of
by the board for time, but the idea
has been abandoned because Of the
fact that there is no desirable loca-
tion. 1t Is believed that the present
plan Of holding two markets, one on
South A street between Fifth and
Sixth streets and the other on East
main street, will be the more salts
factory arrangement to all concerned.

Howarth has advised with him al

New York Astronomer Says
That This May Always Re-
main Hidden to Man.
WHAT HAPPENED TO TAIL?
CALIFORNIA ASTRONOMER THIS
MORNING FOUND ITS STREAM
ERs THE SAME PLACE THEY
WERE YESTERDAY.
(American News service)

New York, May Mankind may
never know for certain whether or not
our earth passed through the tail of
Halley's comet in the year 1910.
This startling declaration was made
today by Prof. H. A. Jacoby, chief of
the astronomical department at Co
lumbia university.
Scientists of this city are still in
doubt as to what has happened to the
comets tail. whether it has been lost
or merely strayed about in the curve
which has been attributed to 1t. Mil
lions OF eyes will be turned to the
skies this evening for it is then that
the comet itself is scheduled for ap-
pearance in the western sky.
Amazing Discovery.
Mt. Wilson Observatory, Cal, May
D.-Dr. George E. Hale and his as
tronomers at the Carnegie solar OBJ
seryatory discovered when the moon
set this morning to their amazement
that the streamers of the comets tail
appeared in the same relative position
as they were discovered yesterday
morning. They stretched from the
eastern horizon up to the milky way
fainter than yesterday morning, but
brighter. DIR. Hale was unable to ad-
vance a theory that satisfy himself
as to whether the earth has passed
through the tail OF the comet or not.
There are three possible explanations
OF the phenomena observed. II we
are now in the comets tail we could
not see It at all. II we were through
1t, 1t would seem that it would be in
a different position. One possible ex-
planation is that the comet has two
tails. II we have passed through one
q curved tail. we might see the sec
ond and smaller one in the position in
which these streamers are beheld.
