KNOWN AS OMEN OF DEATH
Aurora 5orealls Had a Sinister sIanifI-
canoe to the Barbarians Of
Centuries Ago.

Many people believe that the au-
rora borealis is phenomenon pc
culiar to modern times. But this is
not true. The ancients used to call
it chasmata, bolides and TRADES,
names which expressed the different
colors of the lights.
The scarlet aurora was looked up
on by the superstitious barbarians as
an omen of direful slaughter; so it is
not unusual for descriptions of
bloody battles to contain illusions to
northern lights.
In the annals of Cloon-mac-noise
it is recorded that in 688 A. D., ac-
eompanying a terrible battle between
Leinster and Munster, Ireland, a
purple aurora lit the northern skies,
foretelling the slaughter.
To the Latins and Greeks of south
ern Europe the phenomenon rarely
appeared and therefore their writ
ings are almost, if not entirely, silent
concerning it, yet it was not un-
known to them.

by way of making the record
complete, we wish to state a fact
which we do not blame the Her
aid for not stating, and it is
this:
Hitherto the Albuquerque pa
pers have been quite as oblivious
of the Estancia valleys exist
ence as any of the business men
of that town.
This has been true to such an
extent that many, perhaps a ma
jority, of the people of the val
ley have believed that for some
inscrutable reason the papers of
that town entertained a hostility
to the valley, and it will require
considerable rubbing of the fur
the right way to dissipate that
belief.
The Estancia valley can get
along without Albuquerque, be-
cause it has largely done so, and
Albuquerque can get along with
out the Estancia valley if it con-
tinues to wish it, because it has
largely done so; but undoubted-
ly it would be of mutual ad-
vantage to both to cultivate clos
er relations, and it is up to AL
to begin the cultivat-
ing,
