Planet to Turn Corner
Nearest the Earth


MARS is going to take close look
lf1 at Seattle Sunday evening. And
by the same token Seattle folks are
going to take a close look at Mars-the
closest since 1909!
But you needn't fear Mars win slSid at some

No danger OF thls.. says Prof. l.. l. Small, OF the
University OF Washington faculty. For Mars
Will come within only 100000 miles OF the

Only carth.belng thought seriously Of
travelling TO Mars. Capt Claude Collins planned
10 ride Hky.rocket thither. But he couldn't get
rocket large enough.
However. famous French medium. Mnde-
moiseile Helene Smith. says she projected her
soul 10 Mars. There she saw:
Carriages without horses wheels. emitting
sparks they giided by. houses with fountains
the roofs. n cradle having for curtains
angel made OF iron with outs,reched wings"
Che also brought back the latest fashion
notes from the Martians.
Tho people," SHE said. were much like tho
inhabitants OF the earth. save that both sexes
wore the Same clothes--trousorH. very ample.
and long biouses drawn tight about the waist
and decorated with various designs"
Their language had "A pleasant intonation nc.
cording TO the mademosee. Four words that
she remembered when she came down to earth
were:
Metiche meaning Mr..
Medache meaning Mrs.
Metaaganiche meaning Miss.
Kin't'chc meaning four.
But II. G.. Wells evidently didn't think much
