new COMET seen
IN WESTERN SKY
Tailless Wanderer Was Visible
Through Powerful Glasses
Skirting Milky Way.

"Zlatinsky's comet" has been locat-
ed in the western sky. 1t seems to be
a heavenly freak and Is now reported
to be volplaning along the edges OF
the Milky way. The latest traveller is
a celestial Weary Willie" for il boasts
of no tail nor whiskers. The new ar
rival derives its name from the astro-
uomical observer who first lamped ii
some time ago. The tramp has not
been Iamped in these parts but at
several of the observatories the sky
scouts have caught a glimpse of the
latest wonder of the heavens. It is
announced to appear nightly, however,
along the horizon and is billed to
twinkle forth at 9 o'clock tonight.
To locate the tailless comet the as
tronomers advise the layman first to
locate Venus in the western heavens.
This is easy enough, Venus being the
evening star. Then move the eye in
the direction of the north star about
25 degrees, which is a little less than
one-fourth of the distance between the
horizon and a point overhead. This
will bring the eye to Capella, and pi-
rouetting somewhere in the vicinity of
Capella is the comet. The scientists
at Williams Bay say that II looks like
a round. hazy mass.
When first seen by Zlatinsky in Rus
STA the tailless vagrant was in the
constellation Perseus. which is in the
northwest heavens near the edges of
the Milky way. Since then it has done
some stepping. 1t moved about five
degrees eastward and one degree
southwark a day. and so far the as
tronomers have not plated its orbit
nor determined it's speed.

The hosts of Autumn will advance
The wild goose going down the sky

NcAdams,

Once upon a midnight dreary, while
burrowed, growing weary, into many
a thrilling story Of the battle Of the
kings; while I nodded, having read
them till l think l could have said
them, all at once I heard the rustic
and flutterings Of wings. '"Tis some
visitor" l muttered, being good at
guessing things.
All, directly / remember it was
early in September, and each separate
dying ember Of the city of Louvain
seemed to glow upon the pages in the
way thing engages ones attention
when he RACES and inclines to raising

sort of seizes on his brain-it was

ing very plain.
1t was not at all uncertain, SO l

sill, where it rested very still, with a
bullet through its bill, and its pinions
singed to nothing but the unbellished

tured, feeling something of thrill.
In that solitary haven l recalled the
poets raven, and / knew the bird be-
fore me carried sorrow on its tongue

it sorrowfully sung, and set about to
find it, for the night was fairly young.

thought that it was "Stung."
Thus it was got to guessing, while
continually pressing my request for
information on the symbol Of the
Hague; but its wit was very vague.
1t had somehow lost leg, and its head
deprived Of feathers, was as barren
as an egg. It was pitiful with fam

after Helgoland and Nancy, by what

apples to bob on Halloween. The result
of their indignation was race war
in which the Latins under Numa POM
pilius were arrayed against almost all
the rest of Europe. The allies were
defeated, and all their calendars were
burned at big celebration and bon
fire on the Roman Compagna.
1t was on the 18th of October that
Columbus discovered America. Weary
of war and the quarrels of kings, this
intrepid Italian manned three caravels
and set out to discover a place where
people could live in peace. The sea
had never been crossed, and it con-
tanned a great many perils; but every
time he and his men thought of turn
ing back their resolve was renewed
by the rumble of cannon in their rear,
and they so came to San Salvador in
this month of the year. Except for
the probable necessity Of killing the
Indians who already inhabited the new
land, it seemed satisfactory, and Col
umbus returned and so reported. The
rush for Plymouth Rock and other
promising field of colonization set in
at once, and it has never stopped.
Across the peaceful seas of night
the Hunters Moon will sail serene,
nor anyone shall dynamite that pretty
cruiser from the scene. There is no
war where man is MOTT is original
with him. All else except this bloody
spot is fairer than the cherubim. The
gentle art of shedding blood is not at
home among the stars. One cannot
even hear the thud of battle on the
planet Mars. The days are filled with
joy and peace; the nights are beauti-
full with song. There are no armies
and police, nor is there any matter
wrong. Our earth monopolizes that;
they have to look to see it here. They
never have royal spat beyond our
own forbidding sphere. We take the
cake for acting SO of all the worlds
around the sun, and if the rest could
make the throw they'd like to hit us
with the bun.
At any rate, the ve.dant glade will
turn bright and cherry red, and wild
duck dinners will parade above the
eager hunters head. The mothball
driven from the fur, will rally round
the summer shirt; the bullfrog, stop
ping to demur, will show us how to
shovel dirt. The new school ma'am
will make the bold, unconquered bully
bawl for mush, the COW will SILVER
with the cold and don thicker set of
plush; the farmer, bringing in his
hogs, will leave US in a limousine; the
candidate in homely toys will tell
what keeps US poor and lean; the haze
of autumn will complete the filmy
glory Of the day; the quail will wake
US with the sweet, shrill temper of
his roundelay; the gold leaves, glow
ing as they turn, will render beautiful
the air, and picked pigs feet will
return to glorify the bill of fare.

Then sweet November will return,
With Winters scouts beside her,
And we shall turn from wars concern
To fixing apple cider.
The Lamar register., 1914-09-30

There is no other season quite
So beautiful as that ahead,
When all the world is frosty white
AS day comes bounding from his
bed.
The thought of cider is enough
To make poet seize his Tyre;
The hickory, turned gold and buff,
Is all that beauty could desire.
The smell of cracklings on the breeze
Will make a rosebush hide its face,
The wistful beauty of the trees
viii soothe and charm us for a
space.
The county fair will fill the sky
With aviators and balloons,
And night will know the hue and cry
Of dogs and hunters after coons.

Indian Summer is so-called from the
fact that it was then the Indian al
ways went on the warpath, and this is
almost equally true of white men.
There will probably be very few quiet
spots on the globe during the month.
and with Europe going it full tilt on
one side of US, Mexico raging along
the south border and the Japs scourg-
ing the Pacific, we will do well to keep
out of it ourselves. Congress will
probably adjourn about the 18th.
though one cannot tell about congress
these days, when something breaks
out almost every minute. Some of
the congressman, now the rivers and
harbors bill has been eppelined, don't
much care to go home at ALL The
moon will be full on the 4th. The 18th
will be an anxious day for all of the
kings engaging in the European war,
for it was on that day in 1915 that Ma
poleon arrived at the Isle of ST. Hell
ena, there to spend the rest of his
life. October's birthstone is the
opal, which means hope; but people
born in October are very strong char
acters and do their own hoping. Theo-
dore Roosevelt is good example. He
was born on the 9th, under the in
fiuence of Scorpio, the eighth sign of
the zodiac. Scorpio people have great
endurance and usually continue to run
for office after people have quit pay
ing any attention to them. The first
The Lamar register., 1914-09-30

% days of the month are under the
influence of Libra, the seventh sign.
Libra people are very conservative,
and are not saying what they think of
our Mexican policy yet. October 18th
will be the anniversary of the birth
of the United States navy, which looks
as if it would have to be born again
in the light of what is proving effec-
tive in sea fighting abroad. Hallow-
cen will occur on the 31st.

Next We have Perrfne. Perrine
