STRANGE STUNTS
BY BALL OF FIRE
Thrice II Darted Earthward, Emit
ting Showers Of Sparks, OBJ
servers Declare.

DENVER, Aug. 23.-Residents seven
miles northeast of Durango were star
tied by strange phenomenon In the
evening OF July "a. II was soon after
twilight when seemingly body of Are
as large as the moon, oblong In shape
and pointed at the top, appeared. II
grew brighter as darkness advanced,
alarming residents. who thought the
world was coming to an end. Much
anxiety was felt and ranchers gather
ed their families around and prepared
for what they thought was the end OF
the world. Some OF the ranches
thought II was a boiling planet.
Three times IL leaped toward the
earth, II was declared, all the time
emitting streams OF fiery substance
which seemingly fell to the earth.
After remaining In sight for three
hours II gradually became smaller un-
I'll IL o'clock, when II appeared like
a large. bright star.
On the same day In st. Louis peo-
pie watched from 1880 until shutdown
what first was supposed TO be comet.
Local astronomers finally announced
that II was Venus, which, owing to
atmospheric conditions. was remarka-
bly, brillian while the sun was shining
and the weather was remarkably
chilly. Fleecy clouds made the star
appear TO be moving rapidly.
According TO DR.. Howse, OF Denver
university, this is phenomenon which
occurs twice aboue every eighteen
months. For some few weeks before
and after the period OF greatest bril-
liancy Venus Is visible during the day,
first as an evening and then as
morning star. II will be at It's height
on Aug. 3.
On Oct. % the star will reach It's
second period OF greatest brilliancy
and at that time will be visible at
9.10 q. m, In position SO degrees
from the southern horizon. II can
then be gllmpsed with the naked eye
and easily observed through an opera
glass. It's brilliancy during these Ier-
iods will. OF course. depend upon the
sky In which IL Is observed. A gray
or dull sky greatly dim0 Us appear
ance, but In clear sky II shines with
great splendor.
The astronomical world has also
been kept busy by the appearance or
four comets which are being nightly
observed Two OF these are periodi-
calls whose appearance has been
awaited for the last two months. but
two are strangers The Kles comet,
which Is brand new, was first picked
up by the Lick observatory on the
night OF July 10. Since receiving news
OF 1t Prof. Swan OF the Manual Train
ing Eigh school has been making
nightly observations of the comet,
which is travelling south very rapidly.
It's brilliance is decreasing with every
observation, however, so the disap-
pointed astronomers believe that 1t Is
going away from the earth and may
disappear before its orbit can be COM
puted.
Prof Douglas, formerly OF the Har-
ward observatory. Is now In this city
making observations Of another inter
esting planet-Jupiter. -rA

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

DETROIT -23--Clnae:- Foreign
markets did not have much influence
here at the opening. American prices
were higher while the opening In Liv-
erpool was at very little change. Later
Liverpool advanced because Argentine
markets were Armer and offerings OF
Russian wheat light General de"
in Liverpool was good and Canadian
wheat was wanted.
Wheat prices depende on the Cana
dian crop outlook more than on news
from any other part OF the world. IL
Is bel eyed that some harm was done
by frost on Monday night, although IL
Is impossible to learn definitely about
IT, and II will be a few days before
the truth Is known. Injury Is more
likely to show In the quality than the
quantity OF the wheat. Temperatures
in the Canadian northwest on We'd
nesday were 10 wenough TO cause anx-
iety for the safety OF large part OF
the crop. although no frost was report
ed This uncertainty makes for a
choppy market and dealers are keep
ing pretty close to shore.
Recent export opinion makes the
American spring wheat crop about co.
600. 900 bu less than last years. Chi
cago reports an increase In cash de-
mand and this, with the failing on In
the movement of winter wheat. helps
the feeling of bullishness. but the big
stocks In Chicago and heavy visible
supply act as a check on the bulls.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 22.-Because d.

demand" Mrs. Anna Flage, 81, was
deeply disappointed when she sought
q marriage license from License Dep
uty williams. Mrs. Flage was accom-
penied by her would-be husband. but
he kept In the background and did
not even give his name.
Mrs. Flage took the initiative and
demanded the license. Deputy Williams
asked the preliminary questions and
finally discovered that Mrs. Flage had
been married twice before; that one
husband was dead and that she did
not know where the other husband Is.
Williams told her that she could not
get license nor marry again until
3 had been divorced from the living
husband
But l don't know whether he Is
living or dead, and I don't care" re-
turned Mrs. Flage. my friends told
me that after he had been gone three
years | was free TO marry again, and
ne has been gone over three years"
Directed to the insolvency court, she
found Clerk George Brockman at his
desk
II want a divorce" she said
You do? Well, have you filed your
petition?" asked the affable George.
Il don't know anything about a petit
ton. but do know that my husband
has been gone for three years and
that am entitled to a divorce, and
want one right now, for we want to
get married right away" and Mrs.
Flage nodded toward the silent one
who had followed her into the room.
Brockman explained that divorces
could not be secured for the asking,
but that suit must be brought and
the issue determined by a Judge.
Whats that cost
Brockman told her that the deposit
required was s10.35, while an attorney
would have to be hired, who would
also charge a nominal fee, possibly
lonly ss5
''Whewi All that money!"
Brockman suggested that the gen.
ifleman who accompanied her might

Lord, no! Why. he hasn't as much

Well have TO wait until I can save
