RAISE GRADE OF
LEMOYNE STREET
State Highway Department
and Borough Unite For
Needed Improvement

Lemoyne. July 10.-Raising the
grade of Rossmoyne street between
Bosler avenue and the Cumberland
Valley bridge. much-needed inn
provement was brought about by
George Leach. chairman of the high
way committee of council. while the
State Highway Department is re-
building the street.
The new highway will be built
from seven to fifteen inches higher
than the present one. This raise in
the road, viii do away with a bad
depression near the bridge, almost
unpassable in rainy weather.
AS soon as the state Highway De-
partment announced its intention of
rebuilding the street. Councilman
Leach at once had d survey made and
seeing that the street could be rails
ed considerably, he asked state offi-
cials to do it. The work is now
underway. A large force of men are
at work raising the tracks of the
Valley Railways Company at this
point.
Councilman Leach is using the sur
face stones on Rossmoyne street that
are being removed by the state to
rebuild Herman avenue, which has
been in bad shape for years. Coun-
ell has ordered the highway commit
tee to construct a sewer at the Cum
berland Valley bridge to take away
all water which drains of of the
street.

New Star May Be
Seen in Southeast

London.-If you want to see the
new star between IL o'clock and
midnight it is to be found in the
southeast. At the earlier hour the
first magnitude star Vega is due
east and the star Affair. also of the
first magnitude, a little south of due
cast and rather low down. The four
bright stars of Cygnus then lie in
the northeast, having the appear
ance of great cross on its side, and
the new star. which tonight will
probably be between the first and
second magnitudes, will be easily
located, well above the horizon. to
the right and some distance above
Affair.
People are asking how it happens
that such an important astronomical
discovery was made by amateurs.
Mr.. de Roy, the Belgian astronomer,
who was one of the little band who
noted the discovery of a new star
almost simultaneously, told a Daily
Chronicle representative the reason.
The professional astronomers" he
said, with their expensive instru-
ments. are shut up in their domes,
and concentrate upon one small part
of the sky. Amateurs, who report
to the British Astronomical Associ-
ooSht "oNNlA liABAl clAlCI lIShl dll
allotted section with special refer
ence to variable and shooting stars.
/ myself follow about 200 variable
stars, and it was while I was watch
ing on Saturday night that 1 first
noticed the new star"
There are several possible explana-
tions of the sudden appearance of
the new light in the heavens. The
! favorite one puts it down to the col
/ lision, or rather the near approach
TO one another, of two stars, causing
enormous disturbance in their gas
| eous envelopes. Whatever be the
cause of the phenomenon, it must
have happened about the time when
James 1 was king, for it would take
that length of time for the light to
/ travel TO us from the remote part of
the heavens which the star occupies.
w. F. Denning, the Bristol astron-
omer who was among the discoverers,
said the phenomenon was a wonder
ful event in astronomy. Only one
other of the same class had been
visible since 1904
