s+;,1 Tell. Of SHOOTING Stars.

Tines Republican: I noticed in last
nights paper the reference to Elder
Montgomery Of the Seventh Day Ad-
ven.!sts. and MS allusion 10 the shoot
irg stars Of 1888. also his prediction
that the world Will come to an end be-
fore the death of the survivors Of that
event. which would necessarily be in
the near future. The phenomenon Of
which he speaks has been going on
ever since the creation Of the universe.
These so-calied shooting star. or
neteorites are swinging around the
sun In orbits Of their own, and as their
orbits are more eccentric than the
orbit % she earth they rrnss the path
Of the earth, and as they exist in such
great numbers between the orbits of
Mars and the earth, in certain
periodical intervals they pass thru our
atmosphere. When they strike our at
mosphere with their great velocity, it
sets them on fire from the friction Of
the tremendous impact, and the small
er ones are fused. burned up or con-
vertd into gas. Some Of the larger ones
are attracted 70 the earth, and others
pass on thru our air and continue in
their course thru space.
There is nothing very mysterious or
unnatural about it. W. II. Stipp.

scendants OF the aged couple and their
wives or husbands.
Ambitious plans have been formed by
the organizers. These include death
and sick beenfit funds, card circles,
sewing circles and eventually the start
ing OF some business in which every
member OF the society will have an In
terest. The main object Of the society
Is to keep the family together. keep
the wolf from the door Of all. and pro-
vide means by which they will be able
10 amuse themselves at all times. One
Of the odd features Of the organization
is board OF arbitration" which will
settle all disputes between members,
and already two relatives who had not
spoken for year have been brought
into friendly relations again.
The whole family is very well-to-d
and the homes Of several Of the MEM

OF the borough. There are also many
children, grandchildren, and great
grandchildren Of the aged couple that
It was feared il some action were not
taken to bind them together they would

circle, a card circle. dancing circle
and a dramatic society have been start
ed. These circles will meet regularly at
