Some Fruit Saved, Maybe.

West Point, Neb,, April Especial
to The News: a violent snow storm
has been prevailing in this section
since last night The snow already
fallen is about three inches, complete
ly covering the ground. The storm
had all the appearance of Il January
blizzard, minus the cold. A strong
wind is blowing from the northwest
and indications are for more snow.
Damage done by the late freeze has
not yet been determined, but enough
is shown that serious injury has been
done to fruit trees, especially those
which bloom late. In some instances
of early apples the fruit is already set
on the stem and is as large as "A cherry
on some trees, the belief being that in
these cases no damage will be done.

that the thought of war between the

finance Japan in her war with Russia
Here is what Mr.. Schiff said at the
luncheon:
The most difficult problem we have
to deal with Is the far east problem.
l am sorry to have to say it, but we

RUSSIA and Japan have evidently

that is to keep China as a lesser state.

Special Camera Set Up to Picture II

A special Astronomical camera has
been set up at Honolulu which Is ex-
peCtcd to catch some interesting pic
lures of Halley's comet when on May
IS 1t completes its 3.lOOyOOO,OOO mile
trip around the sun and begins sim

Dr. John IL. Brashear, who told re

camera, said that on May IS the head
of the comet would cross the solar
disk and the phenomenon would be
plainly visible in the Pacific ocean. 1t
will take the comet but fifty-eight min.

and at that time il will be possible to
determine how much solid matter is
in the comets nucleus, for all solid
portions over ten miles in diameter
will be indicated by Swallowed spots
against the suns background. The
comet on that day will be only 10000
600 miles away from the earth and
consequently will be brighter than at
any other time. The experiments IN
