The scientific world is now filed
with thrilling interest at the reappear-
anee Of that mysterious wanderer of
the upper regions known as HALEY 8
comet, the discovery of which is at
tributed to the English astronomer,
Edmund Haley, in the year 1852; yet
none seems to note the important fact
that some nineteen centuries back the
earlier sages of the Talmud had al.
ready given us an explicit statement
with reference to the periodical move
ment of this same celestial body that
is now nearing our habitable globe.
In Talmud, tractate Horoyoth, page 10,
it is plainly spoken that "there is
star which appears once in seventy
years and perplexes the seafarers. - Ac-
cording to the Talmudic statement it
was Rabbi Joshua Ben Chananya, who
once having embarked ON a ship in COM
pany with the Patriarch Rabbon CANA
liel, had revealed to the latter this
valuable bit Of information, as he pre-
calculated the advent Of the comet for
just about that time.
Prof. G.. Zelickovitz in the Jewish
Daily News calls the attention of mod
ern scientists to this remarkable pas
sage in the Talmud, and he adds that
sit is quite possible that Edmund Hal
ley, who in the year 1882 is said to
have been only twenty-six years of
age, received the information concern
ing the septuagesimal revolution of this
comet from some learned Jew of his
time; as the Talmudical compilations
had been in existence then as they are
today.
Tit the Talmud here refers to this
same heavenly wanderer as discovered
by HALEY seems to be true beyond a
doubt. 1t is the one and the same
comet that has been traced back to
the years 1857 and 1881; the same as
was seen by Kepler in 1907. 1t was
hailed by HALEY as a periodical Wis
itor in 1852. 1t appeared afterward in
l759, also in 1885; and again it is to
reach its perihelion now in May, 1910
The period intervening between the
regular rounds of the comet thus
proves to be a period of 20 and some
odd years. (The sages were so used
to be brief in the mention of figures
and things; as, for instance, in the
case of the "Septuagirt'' there were
70 doctors-not 70-engaged in the
work of the Bibles first translation
The suppositiOn, therefore, by the
many that none before HALEY had the

slightest knowledge Of the elliptieal
orbit of comets is absolutely WRONG.
Even though we should grant the nos.
sibility that Edmund HALEY. aided nv
the famous Sir Isaac Newton and other
scientists Of his age, did solve this prob
lem anew by his own personal effort.
without regard to those who preceded
him-even then the fact remains that
many centuries before HALEY there
lived a Rabbi Joshua who taught pre-.
cisely the same doctrine anent the
periodical revolution of the comet. And
this circumstance may likewise have
some bearing upon the wonderful
thought of the Roman philosopher,
Lucius A. Seneca, a contemporary Of
Rabbi Joshua, who revolutionized the
scientific world by declaring his view
TO the effect that "the comets had their
perpetual motion along the lines pre-.
scribed to them by nature ''-a doctrine
entirely strange to the many ages Of
the past. The venerable Seneca, how
ever, may have been associated with
Rabbi Joshua and his doctrines; as did
many another of the Roman philoso.

their inspiration from Jewish men Of

kened the approach of public caiamities,
such as war, pestilence, earthquake and
the destruction even of the entire world.
From among the "knowing ones'' also
not infrequently we hear Of many that
share the same fears and misgivings at
the sight of the mysterious wanderer of
the amending space. So even now a
certain professor from the west predicts
the end of the world with the approach
OF the heavenly intruder. To such and
similar would-be prophets we should
hold out the admonition of Jeremiah
(chapter x, p: "Thus hath said the
Lord, do not habituate yourselves ON
the way of the Gentiles, and ait the
signs of the heavens be We not dis.
mayed: though the Gentiles should be
dismayed at Them
Note the scriptural passage: stHe
stretches the north over empty SPACE:
He suspends the earth on nothing;
Now that the north pole is discovered,
we are even more fully convinced of
this wonderful truth so plainly set forth
in the old Bible And this in the book
of Job, which, according to the best of
photographed authority, is among the
earliest, if not the very earliest, pro-
ductions in the Hebrew biblical litera-
ture.

age of spending money that goes with
it, will be wasted. Cupid will be in
Honolulu before the end of June and
will be in the fight for a majority in
favor of closing the saloons and the
wholesale-retail liquor shops of Hawaii,
unless his friends are very much mis-.
taken in him.
Kuhio has given his word, and even
his enemies will admit that when his
word is given, his promises are always
lived up to. Before the senate com
mittee in Washington, when the Curtis
bill was under discussion and the mat
ter of the plebiscite was first proposed,
he promised to stump in favor of pro-
hibition if the matter was left to the
people of Hawai-. He repeated this
promise later, both to people at Wash.
ington and in letters to people in Ho-
nolulu. Within the past few days he
has cabled his acceptance of a place
/ on the Committee of One Hundred,
which is to head the prohibition or.
ganizatiOn.
The prohibitionists are not worried
over any overtures the liquor men may
make to Kuhio. They believe he is
man of his word and man of convic-
ton, brave enough to come out openly
for what he believes to be the best
good of his people.
Organization About Complete.
Although the workers have said lit
tie about what they are doing tremen-
dous amount of work has been accom-
plished during the past two weeks
among the prohibitionists. Leaders
have been holding meetings almost ev-
cry afternoon and the framework for
! the prohibition party organization is
about complete. There has been no
difficulty experienced in getting all the
names necessary for the organizing
committee of one hundred. AS a mat
ter of fact, two hundred and fifty of
the most prominent men in the city
have agreed to serve on the committee
' if they are wanted, and the work has
been to select from this number the
one hundred names that would show
the most representative list, to include
all parties, all religions, all races, all
classes, all professions. Before the end
of this week, the names of the hundred
committeeman will be announced.
Women Are Busy.
The women at the head of the move
ment for taking a straw vote of the
women of the Territory, to show the
sentiment of those whose interest in
the prohibition movement is as in.
tense as that Of the men, are arrang-
ing the preliminaries for the balloting.
1t is proposed TO register the women,
in the same manner as the voters are
registered, and TO have the vote as
complete as possible.
Civic Feds to Act.
The Civic Federation will call a gen.
eral meeting sometime during the first
week in June 20 discuss the prohibition
question. The federation is emphatieal.
ly on record on all phases Of prohibi.
tion but has never had an opportunity
10 discuss the situation since the spe-
eial election materialized. Hon, John

Say we knock off for awhile and spend
some of this idle money we've coaxed

THE proposition hits me just right"
says l. Lets be nabobs awhile and
see how it feels. What'l we do, take
in the Niagara falls or buck a faro?"
For a good many years." says Mack,
I've thought that if l ever had ex-

cook and sit in my stocking feet and

miles out from Denver, and finds an
elegant two room house that just suits

with every one of the $40 citizens in
the town. We brought along the Chi
