tive TO "A once brilliant comet which

further state that the comet passed
Phoenix during the night, going faster
than a Vanderbilt racing auto. The
astronomical observatory at Eagle
River issued bulletins stating II had
head like a Bull Moose and was
headed towards Hancock, pouring out
hot air with great brilliancy warming
up the Great Lakes slightly and eXcit-
ing the people momentarily. The ma
tional observatory at Mohawk, after
careful examination. claimed IL may
appear every four years. However
the astronomical observatory at Calu-
net claims IL will burn to a frazzle in
November next The Houghton

Ripley observatories also are of the
same opinion, stating further that the
comet is Of the Saturn sort and not
like Mars or Jupiter. the Republican
and Democratic planets.
The comet appears to be part be-
mooseate and one-half suffragette, and
will likely blow up like He'll Gate or
