the Pacific Coast, when Halley's comet
was visible, was in Thurmont and said
that Saturdays comet was much brighter.
He also said that better view could be
gotten of Haley's comet from the Pacific
Coast than in this section.

tators say that the streams could be seen
changing positions, just as if it were a
