Strange Body Didn't Have
the Appearance of a
Comet

It did not look like a comet.
and Neujnin thought that it
must be a little planet, and as
such he announced it to the as
Economical world. The matter
was turned over to certain as
tronomers who make speciality
of the study of the asteroids, or
little planets, and they, after
careful examination, repudiated
it. They declared that it could
not be planet, and must be a
comet. They consequently de-
clined to put it on their list.
But the mystery only deep
ened, for nobody could remem-
Der ever having seen such a
comet as this. 1t looked like a
star, but moved, as no real star
could do. For a few nights it
appeared very slightly elon-
gated, but then it lost this APP
pearance and became round
again. There was no tail-not
even the root of tail; the great
Lick telescope failed to show the
slightest trace of one.
Great difficulty was encoun-
tered in making out the path in
which it travelled According to
some calculations it has been
nearest to the sun as long ago
as July q, and was, at the mo-
ment of its discovery, fast glid-
ing away again into space. Ac-
cording to others its nearest ap-
proach to the sun was a day or
two after its discovery.
AT the Lick observatory,
where they do not call it either
comet or planet, but give it
the noncommittal and myste-
rious designation of the "Object
Neujmin,' period of revolu-
ton around the sun of nearly
17H years has been assigned to
the stranger, but they add that,
while there can not be any
doubt about the elliptical nature
of the orbit, the period of revo-
luton may be shortened as the
result of further observations.
In the meantime the object
Neujmin" has been Professionally
accepted in the cometary sheep
fold-to be turned out into the
cold later, perhaps, if its claim
can not be made good.
An "object" in the sky, about
whose nature the astronomers
themselves are in doubt-that is
surely a new sensation! And
The San Francisco call., 1913-10-23

yet we ought not to be very
much surprised by it. The
heavens are full of mysteries.
Space is occupied by unknown,
and ordinary invisible, bodies of
many kinds.
The sun is carrying the earth
continually into new regions,
travelling northward at least 375,-
100000 miles per year, and there
IS plenty of evidence that the
contents of space, through which
we are moving, vary to an as
tonishing degree.
In some places vast nebulae
spread their glimmering wings
and sprawling spirals over bill
lions of miles. The earth caught
in one of those celestial mael-
stroms would be less important
than chip in the rapids of Nj
agara. Some of the 1ebulae are
invisible by direct vision, dark
nebulae," Professor Barnard
calls them, because their exist
ence is only shown when they
obscure hosts of stars behind
them, like gigantic curtains of
black gauze. These nebulous
monsters may beset our course
like the pitfalls, sins and snares
of the Pilgrims Progress.
Elsewhere we see great stars,
some of them far mightier than
the sun, staggering under the
burden of one or more huge,
dark bodies, or swarms of small
er objects, which have attached
themselves to them by the hooks
of gravitation and can not be
shaken off. If the sun should
ever, like Sindbad, fall into the
clutches of one of these "Old
Men of the Sea" that lurk around
the shores and shadows of the
ocean of space, he could never
free his neck from its clinging
limbs. There is no wine that can
inebriate gravitation and para
lyze its grip.
Strange objects in the solar
systems! If ever they begin to
be seen in considerable numbers
we shall have reason to fear that
the sun is running us into dan
ger in his headlong course.
Every great dark body in space
must have focks of them about
it. Every spinning nebula must
be casting them off by millions.

Occupation of Watching
the Stars Is Most
Fascinating

What occupation so fascinat-
ing as that of the watchers for
these things, the astronomers,
who regard the stars, the sun,
the planets, the comets with tire
less patience, keeping account
of their behavior and of their
motions, and once in a while,
like the young Russian, in his
lone Crimean observatory, spy
ing something to which they
can give no other name than
that of AN UNKNOWN OBJ
JECT IN THE SKY.

REACHING
By WILLIAM F. KIRK

4 a. baby might reach for its mothers hand
IN When it hears the well known voice;
- AS pilgrim might reach in a foreign land
For friend with whom to rejoice;
Roaming about Ger desert bare
reach for you-and you not there
I have tried so long for second choice
That l know It's fruitless quest;
have sighed SO long for your gentle voice
That pray for the endless rest
Even in dreams and delirum
/ reach for you--and you come.
The endless rest! 'Tis the only boon
ask of the powers that be;
The rest that follows the mystic swoon
This side of Eternity
Out in the Star Land vague and vast,
If reach for you, will you at lasts

hart would call : special session Of
the legislature to consider the pas
sage Of the much. discussed public
utilities measure. The meeting was
set for a tentative date in October so
that the State Municipal League could

with regard to the public utilities bill.
The State Municipal League is intend
ed to make for increased efficiency
and economy in the administration Of
the affairs of towns and cities, and at
the St. Paul meeting 20 municipalities
were represented bydelegates. A bu-
reau of information is to be establish
ed where will be maintained copies of
ordinances adopted in various cities,
regulations covering the granting of
franchises and data Of like nature,
which will be Immediately available to
any city desiring information along
that or similar lines. The constitu-
ton and bylaws provide that the
mayors of the various towns and cit
les shall be delegates to the league
meetings and a membership fee is pro-
vided, which in the case Of Virginia
will be about $25.

MOVING PICTURES OF CITY
F WILL NOT BE AUTHORIZED

-Eg-r- tesssG
| The property committee Of the city
council reported unfayorably at Tues
day evenings meeting Of the city
council on: the proposition: made by
Carl Thiel of Hibbing, manager Of the
Northwestern Film company, to make
a film of 1000 feet showing the princi-
pal streets and industries Of Vir-
ginia and to be exhibited in 100 NOV
ing picture theatres throughout the
country. The property committee
turned the proposition down for the
reason that no funds to finance it were
available.
J. E. Hanson, c. NJ. Doorway and
Thomas Gill were appointed commit
tee to appraise the value Of the i'm
provements made during the year 1918
by the council. The matter Of the va
cation of the alleys at the court house
grounds and at the public library
grounds was deferred for one week.
The matter of compelling property
owners to connect with the sewer, in
which the health department reported
that 1870 or more were derelict, was re-
ferred back to the health committee.
The city may compel the necessary
connections but the process is some
what tedious, extending over five
years, and it is hoped a better and
more satisfactory method Of reaching
the desired result may be figured out.

Great Slave lake country in north
western Canada, going as far on the
old Alaska trail as Athabasca Land
ing, are expected to return to Virgin
ia Sunday or Monday. A telegram
received from them Wednesday locat-
ed them at Edmonton. The trip to
Athabasca Landing is one Of the
most picturesque in America. A por-
ton of it is made on the Fraser river,
where there are dangerous rapids to
shoot and where skilled boatmen and
Indian guides are necessary to sue
cessfully negotiate it. Mr.. Smith is
interested in land in the Great Slave
lake country. Mrs. Deuel., of Glen
coe, Mimi, mother of Mrs. Stewart
Smith, is expected to arrive in the city
tomorrow to meet Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
upon their return.

furnished. The New Ohio brings no.
tel conveniences to a section of the
city where good many mill employees
find them handy, and is doing a fine
business. The house is steam heated
and electric lighted and will be one
of the most comfortable places in the
city during the winter.

Residents of Lake Boulevard are
circulating a petition to be presented
to the city council protesting against
the Canadian Northern railroad being
allowed to continue the practice of
having its switch engines spotted on
the house track spur at the Canadian
Northern depot. The residents of
Lake Boulevard complain Of the conse-
quent smoke nuisance and allege also
that their rest is disturbed at night by
the engines blowing off steam. They
also protest against the Canadian
Northern sporting the cars of travel

trary to the provisions of the fran
chise granted when the road was built.
The matter will be taken up with the

COUNCIL DENIES APPLICATION
OF PIANIST FOR LICENSE
The city council Tuesday night de-
MED the application of Mary Stevens
for a license to practice palmistry. The
application was accompanied by the
fee of $50 provided in an ordinance
recently adopted for fortune tellers,
palmists, clairvoyants and astrologers
and the application of the Stevens
woman was the first made since the
new ordinance became effective. The
policy of the present council is evil
IDENTIFY not to encourage people of this
class to locate in Virginia. Up to
the present time not a license Of the
kind for which regulation is provided
in the new city ordinance has been
granted. Palmistry is probably one
Of the least Objectionable Of the forms
of humbug which the ordinance is
designed to cover, and the precedent
established by the council is interest

city as free as possible from that class
of people who thrive by catering to
the weakness of those who want ad-
vance information on the uncertain
developments of the future.

HIGH CLASS VAUDEVILLE
WILL OPEN AT THE ROYAL

The Sullivan and Considine line, one
of the best of all western vaudeville
organizations, will open at the Royal
theater next week, supplanting the
bookings of the Webster Theatrical
agency, which have been appearing
at the Royal for some time past. The
change in booking is made by the
management to bring to the patrons
of the Royal the best vaudeville that
it is possible to stage in a city of the
size of Virginia. The acts coming to
this city will come direct from a Min
neapolis theater, where they have been
running to a big business ever since
the house was opened under the Sulli-

Mclean is making other improve
ments at the Royal which insure its
continued popularity with the amuse-

HOW WE MAY KNOW IF WE
REALLY KEEP CHRISTMAS
Remember the Loneliness of Folk Who Are Grow.
ing Old as Well as the Desires of
Little Children.

I tie children, to remember the weakness
and loneliness Of people who are growing
old; to stop asking how much your
friends love you, and ask yourself
whether you love them enough; to bear
in mind the things that other people
have to bear in their hearts; to try to
understand what those who live in the
same house with you really want, with
out waiting for them to tell you; TO trim
Your lamp so that 1t will give more light
and less smoke, and to carry IL in front
so that your shadow will fall behind
you; to make a grave for your ugly
thoughts and garden for your kindly
feelings, with the gate open-are you
willing to do these things even for a
day? Then you can keep Christmas
Are you willing 20 believe that love
is the strongest thing in the world
stronger than hate, stronger than evil,
stronger than death-and that the blessed
life which began in Bethlehem nineteen
hundred years ago is the image and
brightness Of the Eternal Love? Then
You can keep Christmas. And IL you keep
it for day, why not always?"
