Perseids and anyone who csres to} Si stay up until after midnight on the; G night of Aug. 11 has a good chance Pl of getting an eyefull. Sad On that night, one is certain, ac | cording to the astronomers, to ob- | In serve a brilliant shower of shooting | t@ ~~ stars. Onc can sce meteors on other | st nights in the year, but the show put | la on_by the Perseids is the bigges* | of brilliant of all i iti ard that, they shoot; | bt almost horizontal | a It is also the most regular, for! £1 one may see it every year as the) 2 earth passes through this cluster of | Si meteoric fragments, revolving in et space. af We have been passing through i nee the early part of i July. The meteors are quite num- St erous from Aug. 5 to 15 and Aug al 40-13 always produces large num- Bt bers of flaming Perseids, especially ot CMfter midnight. Best After Midnight A But Captain C. S. Freeman, su- tr perintendent of the naval observ- a atory here, says that the period of be utmost intensity, with the biggest ti and most meteors, will be between 2 and 3 o'clock on the morning of ti Aug. 12. vy After that, the earth will begin to ve edge out of this meteor belt. ‘a These meteor showers, Captain! Freeman explains, follow in about | the same periods as comets. The is. Perseids shower comes just at the be time the earth is crossing the orbit n of Tuttle’s comet of 1862, which we m will not see again until 1985. These w meteors form a closed ring or end- | dc less chain along the comet's path n and the earth always finds them in re its_annual visit. uM ‘The: Perseids are: metoric frag- ments breaking off the racing nN cluster. As they strike the earth’s in atmosphere friction develops 80 f much heat that they are generally ta entirely consumed before they hit in the earth. Som: of them, however, ae are too large to succumb to in- ar candescence and reach the ground. m whence they are unearthed and Re placed in museums. The remains fe prove to be some form of iron in of most cases, though some have a rock base, sf The flaming Perseids are to be seen in the northern sky. Indications are, according to Cap- tain Freeman, that they will be vis- ible from most parts of the United The most brilliant meteoric shower on record was that of Nov. 13, 1838. Hundreds of thousands of shooting stars fell within two or three hours and the spectacle was witnessed generally throughout North America. Many persons thought that the end of the world had come and some bse compared the display to a celestial snowstorm. How brilliant will be the August shower of this year cannot yet be determined. Sometimes it dazzles the whole heavens. Last year at least 40 large meteors were seen, ‘SOROASS SLES >o2 4a sc. ° Sea) i | Weather Report |; — teeta Temperature at 7 a. m.

Oli- vier, astronomer at the Leander Mc- Cormick observatory and one of the greatest meteorologists, says: “Of all the annual showers they are most certrin to return with av- erage richness. Also, as they come in August, when the nights are still comfortably warm, they furnish the most excellent opportunity for a person casually interested in meteors to see a good shower. Many of the Perseids leave very bright and en- during trains which, being beautiful phenomena, add to the interest of those observing these meteors.” MEMORIAL FOR WAR VETERANS IS CONSIDERED; (Continued from page one) tendant—it would be good business for them to do so. “In addition facilities would be! provided for the ease and conven- | ience of mothers in caring for their | children.
