COMET AT ITS BRIGHTEST
ABOUT JUNE 1912 NEXT.
Celestial Visitor Within $4,000, 900
Miles Of Earth to be Visible to
Southern Observers.

The Mellish comet, which is now the
center of astronomical attention, as far
as heavenly phenomena goes, is a
short, fan-shaped celestial wanderer
in the southern heavens, which was
picked up last February by Prof.
Mellish. of the Lowell observatory.
Computations Of its elements show
tail composed of two divergent branch
es in position angles 270 degrees and
295 degrees, one and half and three
fourths degrees long. respectively.
Some astronomers contend that this
comet has similar elements TO the
great comet of 1S4S, and computations
are now being made TO test the possi-
bility OF the identity of the two.
The latest computations show that its
perihelion passage viii occur July II,
at a distance almost equal to that of
the earth from the sun at the same
time. Its predicted positions in the
heavens from April 30 to May "a have
been estimated at SO 900 900 miles from
tn earth on April so, 100000 miles
May "a, so that il is approaching the
sun az the rate of millions of miles a
day, increasing its computated bright
ms six fold in this short time.
The orbit of this comet runs through
the eastern part of the constellation
Sagitarus about ten degrees east of
the milk dipper," and the comet can
best be seen at about 1 a. m. During
the early part of June this comet may
oe fine object for southern observers
as it will come within S5,O00,00O miles
of the earth.
Ii will be at its brightest about June
10th and 18th, h,when it will pass over
the smaller Magellanic cloud, and be a
southern circumpolar object. AS it re-
cedes from the sun the orbit of the
Melish comet will be parallel with the
neighboring part of the earths orbit
so that the earth follows it for some
time at a gradually increasing dis
tance each day.
IL will probably be easily visible to
southern observers for many months
1t will. in all events. also become tele-
scopically observable again in the
northern ATTITUDES before il fades away
in the distance from our system.

Bluff cemetery, where the services OF

The Elks' Rest, handsome monu-
ment, surmounted by life-size elk,

full cut flowers and floral designs, in
memory of all the deceased Brother
Elks.
The ceremony was solemn and i'm
pressive. Once it was customary to
decorate all the graves of deceased
Elks throughout the county, but since
the Elks' Rest was erected lin Cedar
Bluff cemetery, the decoration of this
monument in lieu of the graves, is the
appropriate substitute.
