Naked Eye.

Cambridge, Mass, April 27.-The re-
turn of clear weather in the morning
skies shows that Halley's. comet has
frightened rapidly since last Friday,
and is now clearly visible to the naked
eye shortly after 3 A. NJ. The comet is
displaying a fine brushlke tail of
some three degrees in length while the
nucleus shines with a brightness of
between o. and magnitude.
Prof. O, c. Wendell lat the Harvard
observatory was able to make a num-
Der of interesting observations this
morning, despite the moonlight and
the Fastening dawn. and his photo
metric measurements showed the nu-
cleus to be Col magnitude.
Halley's comet has not yet attained
so spectacular stage as that of Com
ct "a" seen in the western sky in jan
uary, but the rapidity with which it
has increased in brightness during the
past five days gives promise OF
great hope that when 1t energies from
tine bright sunlight in the west next
month, it will prove a most interesting
celestial picture.
The comet is now moving through
the constellation of Pisces. and for a
day or two will be a short distance
east of the bright star in the south
eastern corner Of the great square of

EAST SHORE SEEKS
ALBANY FRANCHISE
Richmond Line Would Join
With S. P. Loop in West
Berkeley

BERKELEY, Jan. 19.--To span the
breach between the terminus Of the
East Shore and suburban Richmond
electric system at the county line. and
the proposed Southern Pacific loop at
Ninth street in West Berkeley, a fran
chise has been asked for by the street
car corporation from the trustees of
Albany. and it will be considered by
committee of the whole board in
the school house tomorrow night
At the present time the terminus of
the East Shore line is al the county
line between Alameda and Contra
Costa counties There il makes con-
nections with the San Pablo avenue
cars of the Oakland traction company.
1t is now proposed by President E
A. Cove of the East Shore to cross the
Alameda county line, enter Albany In
San Pablo avenue. traverse that street
southwark 90 feet, then westerly over
a private right of way to Adams street,
thence to Main street
There the trains of the Southern Pa
cif1c electric system, which is now be-
ing build. will touch. and it is pro-
posed to have transfer system where
by passengers from Richmond on the
East Shore line can reach the Southern
Pacific railroad by the payment of one
fare of cents instead of the Is cents
now exacted. Tt is probable that a
transfer arrangement between the two
roads will be perfected.
If the franchise is granted Richmond.
Siege, San Pablo. Rust and other small
cities between Albany and Richmond
will be linked together by road which
will afford easy travel to the lines of
the Southern Pacific offering trans
bay travel.
