PLANET MERCURY

Mercury is the most evasiVe ot all
the planets, and is rarely in view for
more than two or three consecutive
evenings or mornings, according to
it's relative posintion east "r west of
the sun. For the next three or four
evenings it will be more easily found
than at any other period of this year,
being almost directly west and shin
ing for about half an hour after sun
set at the unusually high altitude of
As degrees.
There will be little chance of fail
ing to find the planet as it is the
only bright star in the west at the
present time, and it will be found al
most over the c. and A. srcltcr, II
degree or so to the north.
Speeding around the sun once every
IS days, Mercury is alternately visible
for couple of days in the west at
evening or in the east in the morning
every six weeks, but is usually too
close to the sun to be seen. The
present elongation is unusually a

planet will exhibit a crescent phase.

.(By Dispatch A. P. Wirel


PLYMOUTH, VT. March 13.-Colonel
John c. Coolidge barely held his own
today in his battle for life. The
single bulletin issued in the course
of the day by his physician indicated
that the aged father of the president,
who has been i'll at his home here
for several months, had weakened
slightly since yesterday. 1T was de-
cided that there was mo immediate
cause for alarm"
DR.. Albert NJ Cram, of BridgeWatar,
1.-THE country doctor who has been Col
onel Coolidge's physician during his
long illness, held a ten minute tele-
phone conversation with the presi-
dent. When the physician had fin
ished he gave the receiver to Colon 81
Coolidge for a word or two with che
president but a fit of hiccoughing
prevented the sick man from speak
ing.
The rare visitors who have been
admitted to hi sbedside since he .ost
the use of his legs as the aftermath
of heart affection have remarked
this weakness and also the failing.
Of once remarkable memory.
The nefghbors who assemble eaca
day in the general store of Miss
Florence Cilley, across the road from
the coloneIs house to hear news of
."the SQUIRE" were somewhat down
cast today. When DR.. Cram and his
wife came to Miss Cilley for lunch
after the physician had spent an hour
and half with his patient, he was
quied with questions While he de-
cIined to enlarge on his short bulle-
tin, DR. Cram indicated that he had
little hope for permanent improve
ment in Colonel Coolidge's condition.
The statement, signed by the doctor,
read Colonel Coolidge's condition
remains unchanged except that he is
slightly weaker He is very comfort
lble. His heart action has improved
slightly, not being so rapid, and is
nearly normal as to rate. Tempera-
ture and respiration are normal.
There seems to be no cause for
immediate alarm, as nothing new mas
developed during the past "a hours"
The growing weakness of the so
year old invalid was taken by the
neighbors and friends as a distinctly
unfavorable indication, and DR.. Cram,
although reticent of detail made no
effort to conceal the impression. Sew
eral newspaper men who wished 10
return to their homes sought the
physicians opinion as to whether
serious developments might be eX
pected soon.

for few days" was DR.. Grams an
sWer.
When DR.. Cram left for his Bridge
water home, he said he would not
return until tomorrow unless some
unexpected development in Colonel
Coolidge's case made it necessary.
