Have You Seen the Comet?

Nearly everyone has been watching
for the comet the past week in accord
ance with predictions that it would be
of no one, who has seen it. Cloudy
weather has prevailed greater part
of the time. When the noted astron-
omer was asked, ''How do you account
for its comparatively insignificant ap-
anu Sunday as compared with predic-
tions?" he replied well, the comet
seems to have undergone some myste-
rious change which would account for
the fact that it is not even so bright
as it was in the morning sky.
