Various theories have been put forth to account for these sudden changes, the most novel being that of a French Astronomer who has discovered the comet Faye making directly for this planet |Its last appearâ€" ance was in 1888, and as it is due this year in our solar system, he supposes that to its proximity to the earth at the present time the sudden changes of weather we are experiencing are due. â€"The Rev.

In his lastletter Dr. Grant puts forth a plea for mmgx“)omise on the question, between the Dominion and. Manitoba Governments. And in doing. so, he makes a yer‘y imputant contes . sion, that the Parliament of Canada has not the moral right to intrude into the Provincial domaing. This was the dictum laid down ‘by the Rev.
