PLANETS IN CoNJUNCTION.â€"One of ‘ the most interesting of celestial sights may be observed next Friday evening, the I1Ith inst. Jupiter and Venus, the two brightest of the planets and brighter than any of the fixed stars, appear close beside each other, being only one degree apart as they set that evening, on the north western horiâ€" zon. Those wishing to observe them should look almost immediately after sunset. nearly straight west and their luminosity will easily distinguish them. _ Venus is the northern and brighter of the two, and will appear higher at sunset from the western borizon every night throughout the summer, widening the distance each succeeding evening between herself and Jupiter, which slowly creeps to the horizon. And yet another of our nearest neighbors may be found in the same position of the sky, the planet Mars, which is at present situated not fat from these two, a little north and nearer the northâ€"western horizon. She is now quite faint, being at her farchest distance from the earth, and at present is not to be compared in brightness with the two former. ; Careful observers may yet easily disâ€" tinguish her about 15 minutes atter sunset, if the western saky be clear. Try your eyesight and see if you can follow nur planetary neighbors, alâ€" thou h the latter two soon become inâ€" yisib e in the sun‘s rays.

If Walkerton will provide right of way for track. station, sidings, etc., exempt the comâ€" pany for all time for expense for proâ€" tection at road or street crossings, continue present taxation for 25 years, they will recommend that the change be made. Very generous. The town has replied courteously but firmly deâ€" clining to accept the terms. as not beâ€" ing within their power in some reâ€" spects and as being excessively exlct-i ing in others. \ As a matter of fact newspaper men come intw the possession of many seâ€" crets which would undoubtedly make * good reading, " but which, for variâ€" ous reasons are never given to the public. Pity for those in trouble and sympathy for the affiicted plays a greater part in the suppression of news than the public imagines. Trust in a newspaper is seldom betrayed, but a spirit of defiance in refusing inâ€" forraation naturally puts reporters on their mettle, and matters sometimes become public because of this, which would have gone no farther had the newspaper been taken into confidâ€" ence.
