When observed on September | 19 it was in the constellation of | Aquarius, which is now directly south | lat about 9 p.m. Its right ascension | {was 23 hours 18 minutes and its decli- | Ination 5 degrees 13 seconds south of | the Equator. | { on his country place in the Valley of | | Cloudy weather has so far kept as-| tronomers at the Naval Observatory | from observing Brooks' comet, but on| the first clear night the bir 26-inch| Itelescope will be turned on the celes- itial visitor, said Prof. Asaph Hall.

Since it was last observed, in 1918, it came close to the planet Jupiter and its orbit was short- | | ened by Jupiter’s gravitational attrac- | {tion, bringing it back several months | sooner than it would have done other- | wise.
