of the armament, the great HALEY
Comet, has at last made its appear
ance. 1t will become more and
more visible until the time fixed
for it to strike the earth, said to be
on or about May 18th. Fortunately
however it will only strike the earth
with the minutest part of its tail,
and as all other reports it has been
preceded by a world of tales, from
the most hair raising to the most
ridiculous. What will happen
when it does brush mother earth
has been predicted by all but since
none of us know exactly when the
end of the world will be, we have
the assurance that we witt
still be here when the comet will
be forgotten.
Early risers in town Friday NOR
ming and Saturday morning saw
the first appearance of the stellar
attraction. with the naked eye. 1t
is said to have been visible in the
northeast and for a short time only
every morning since, just before
dawn between four o'clock and five
O'Clock. It becomes palmer and
palmer and as time goes on 1t will
be closer upon us and become all
the palmer. The weather has
been affected very much and it is
said that the comet is the cause OF
it all. Some people take stock in
the wild rumors circulated regard
ing its appearance and are antlcipa-
ting all sorts of misfertunes and
disasters in the wake of the aerieal
wonder and we firmly believe. that
if this little ball of dirt, upon which
we live is not destroyed on or about
May 18th there viii. be considerable
disappointment No one is anxious
for the end of the world but as no
one knows the time we feel sure that
we will all survive the appearance
of the stellar visitor.
