Shortly after 6 o’clock last Fri- |day there gradually appeared a pe ,culiar looking haze apparently ;about three miles above the hori- ‘zon and just as though it was a ;moving picture where the spirit- like semblance of a scene or per- sons gradually appears, the city of Havana loomed before the as- tonished and awe-struck gaze of ithe watchers, Buildings Seen Not only was the picture there, it is stated, but buildings could be | discerned and reeognized, The | presidential paiace could be clear- ly seon and other buildings such ‘as the Morro Castle, Hotel Plaza iwere easily recognized. Even ped- jestrians and vehicles were seen on the streets, and the Prado was ‘crowded. : One of the watchers was con. vinced he was leoking at a miracle jand was inclined to believe that {some startli.g-wews of(Gilmetjouh jsvon be given. to the werld. An- other was impressed with the idea meant that Cuba is to be pun- isdpelidieiccidinadh {become « part of the entertain. j ments offered to visitors. _ | Remarkable Part What is most remarkable about ‘the vision, said one, is that it was scen on the afternoon of the day {on which the Cuban Senate abro- |gated the law which made it in- jcumbent on all visitors to pay the j head, tax of three dollars which hast been in existence for a long {time and hae been for just that ilength of time the bane of tour- ists. Whatever the mirage means, if anything, it has cansed a great |deal of comment and speculation. fit being argued in many homes that such things just don’t happen |while others contend that when one is seen it means disaster of some kind to somebody ‘ome- | where. Webster's Dictionary defines a mirage as “an optical effect some- times seen on the ocean, but more frequently in plains and deserts idue to a total reflection of lights jat the surface common to two strata of air differently heated. |The reflected Image,is seen, com- monly ir en inverted position while the real object may or may not be in sight.” KILLED ON WAY TO GRAVE LOS ANGELES—Her arms laden with flowers intended for the graves of her husband and son, Mrs, Natalie Salzman, of thie city. wag struck and killed by two Uiding automobiles, Mrs. Stanton Cooper Badly Hurt In Fall From Auto Car Saturday yt opened and she plunged from the car to the read.
