SWARM OF ITALIAN
BEES is CAPTURED
Itinerant Band of Honey CATERERS
Make a Demonstration on
Market Square.

Pedestrians along Second avenue
at Market square a little after noon
today were considerably though
needlessly bothered by the action of
clouds of Italian bees getting ready
to swarm. The little honey-gather-
ers buzzed around in the middle of
the street and many people, espec-
tally women, were afraid to go
through them, although it was per-
fectly safe as long as no hostile dem
onstration was made against them.
Presently the queen bee alighted on
a water plug just north of the scale
house and the entire crowd gathered
around her on the iron hydrant. Will
liam Bennett, employed at the Tax
man wholesale liquor house, drove by
and noticed them and he secured a
box to hold them in. William John
son, a friend of Mr.. Bennett, whose
experience with bees had taught him
how to. get them, gently brushed the
bees off of the iron, a handful at a
time, until most of them were in the
box and then all that was necessary
was to wait for the others to join
those in the box which was soon
done. Mr.. Bennett has nice swarm
of honey bees as a result.

ASTRONOMY STUDY
FOR SCHOOL BOYS
View Heavens Through Large Tele.
scopes Provided by Professor
Udden.

Last night, through the courtesy of
Professor Udden, a party of B. G. NJ.
boys had the privilege of an evening
at the high school looking at the stars
through the large telescopes. Twenty,
five boys were there, and the sights
they saw will be long remembered.
The evening WIS d perfect one for as
Economical observations, there being
no clouds nor haze in the air to him

Fine views of the moon we're OBJ
tanned, showing the mountains and
cr&ters very plainly, while Jupiter re-
vealed his beauties also. Three of the
moons of Jupiter were seen, and it's
markings were family visible. The
three-inch telescope of the high school
was used, as well as a smaller glass
owned by w. H. Foster, both giving
excellent results. The boys who were
present learned many interesting
things about the stars which they had
never heard of before. So much inter-
est was developed that it is likely that
other astronomical evenings will be
arranged in the near future The study
of the stars is planned as a special
feature of the evenings at the boys
caIclp next month.

Paint Display Attractive.

A clever arrangement of paint cans
and appropriate advertising material
form the basis of an exceedingly at
tractive window in McCabes store this
week. A special feature of the display
is i set of old weather beaten carriage
apokes with half of the surface of the
sIokes treated to one coat of Acme
Quality Carriage Paint-each spoke
showing different color of the paint.
The following statement is made on
one of the display cards: You can
make your old buggy look new for a
dollar by the use of this paint"
With this suggestion and the very
small outlay necessary, we are sure
that all of the shabby vehicles in this
territory will Immediately take on a
new appearance.
Besides being good for all kinds of
vehicles, attractive display signs illus
trate in colors a great many other
uses for this wonderful paint in and
about the home. The display is a
creditable one and well worth inspect
ing.

college are much at variance with the
report of Weather Observer Sherier as
to the phenomena noticed last night.
According to Mr.. Sherier, the night
was void of unusual spectacles, bar
ring the fall of two lonely meteorites.
According to the college observers,
camped on the top of the Augustana
Book concern building. the night was
replete with phenomena of a widely di-
versified character.
Shortly after sunset, according to the
college astronomers, the unusual phe-
nomena of '.gegenschein" was plainly
visible, producing an unusual specta-
Gle. This was followed at s; 80 o'clock
by remarkably bright meteor, which
shot through the heavens from the
west to the east The meteor travelled
more slowly than is customary, and at
times seemed to leave a jagged trail
behind it.
AurOra BOreaIis Appears.
An hour later the aurora borealis or
northern lights" appeared in the
northern horizon, four fingers or pro
jections shooting into the air. The
length of the longest finger was ap-
proximately 40 degrees. According to
DR.. Udden. it was one of the finest
displays of the aurora ever witnessed
in this vicinity. The phenomena was
visible for about an hour.
Fall of meteorites continued through
out the night, but were most numerous
around 3 O'Clock. Three distinct show
ers were noticed by the college observ-
ers, who had watchers scanning the
four corners of the heavens. At 2:40
o'clock the first shower occurred, II
meteorites being observed in a few
minutes. At 2:52 the second shower
commenced and 15 meteorites fell
within II minutes. The third fall oc-
CURED about 10 minutes later, when
six were seen to shoot through the
heavens. Throughout the night, from
$3.50 o'clock until $3.50, total of 63
meteorites were observed. The wealth
er bureau only saw Two.
Tail Again Visible.
At o'clock the tail of Halley's comet
became visible in approximately the
same position in which it was observed
the morning before. 1t extended from
the northeast horizon in a southwest
erly direction, finally blending with the
milky way. The tail was almost as
brilliant as the milky way and was
approximately 80 degrees long.
The appearance of the tail was I'M
expected, as it was generally suppos
ed that the comet had traversed the
sun and swung its tail past the earth.
According to DIR. Udden, there are sew
eral explanations to offer for this.
Either the body of the comet has not
yet crossed the face of the sun, or. if
the passing has occurred, the tail may
be bent so enormously that it stretches
far away from the earth and will not
sweep the globe until considerable
length of time after the comet passes
between the earth and the sun. The
college men are highly eIated over the
success of the observations made and
will continue them for additional
nights.
