Group Views Comet Sunday In Local Observatory Thnl-on%::Ancmigruhwith new thrills star gazers.

This was dedicated by the school to was an instructor of astronomy at Elm Place school. s It has been fortunate for the stuâ€" dents who attend this school to have such equipment at their disposal. The general science instructor, Mr. Bert 8. Leech, who is aiso an apt scholar in astronomy, has conducted many interesting evening classes in the observatory. â€" It was indeed an inspiring eveâ€" ning that was spent by a small group in the observatory last Sunâ€" day with Miss Guiney, Mr. Leech and friends. The occasion was to observe a new visitor to our night skies, the Finsler comet. This comet was approximately 12 points north of the Pole Star when it was located last Sunday evening. It is now traveling westward in our skies toâ€" wards the bend of the handle of the Big Dipper in its course towards Arcturus, the bright star in the conâ€" stellation of Bootes. It is now visâ€" ible to the naked eye on clear nights. Its brightest magnitude will be Auâ€" gust 12 when it will be about 50 million miles from our earth. It is traveling at a high rate of speed and will gradually fade away toâ€" wards the end of the month in the vicinity of Areturus. + You heed never to be bored or lonesome of an evening when the stars come out if you are star conâ€" scious and know something about the constellations which are marchâ€" ing across the heavens from East to West. Every month gives us new and interesting studies. The planet Jupiter with its jewelâ€" like moons hanging like a lantern in the south eastern sky also the planet Mars slightly west on the ecliptic cirele can be brought amazâ€" ingly close and clear in a telescope. August is the month for meteors and you can see this wonderfulâ€"disâ€" play in the northern skies. â€" _ These are just a few of the interâ€" esting things that are to be seen in the August night sky.â€" Star lovers are greatly indebted to Miss Guiney and the Elm Place school for makâ€" ing possible this observatory and telescope for all to enjoy. . _ S$.
