According to Mr. Preston, the build- ing was built by a man named. Wil- of those days, and it was built about 1833 for John T. Adams, a grandson of Richard. Adams. The property has been owned in the family ever since. Until*Preston Bros. took a lease of the property, its exterior had been much ‘the same for many vears, the previous tenants in the three stores beihg Shaw’s harness store, Potter & Harris' coal office and John M. Brew- er's.drug store. A feature of the front of the build- ing on the street floor before Preston Bros. moved into it had been a num- ber of stone columns, each 30 inches wide. These were taken out and re- placed by iron columns, gaining room for modern plate glass fronts. Changes mwade in modernizing ‘the building at that time cost about $25,000. The negotiations for the sale, which is one of the most important in bus- iness . property: transfers’ in several years, were made by Angello Covello.

There are no astronomical events of unusual character or unusual import- ance predicted to occur this month de- clares Samuel G, Barton of Flower Ob- servatory, University of Pennsylvania. The brighter planets are visible only about midnight or later. To those who observe the sky after midnight they are a beautiful sight, particularly Venus, the brightest of all. For a few days, about December 21, Mercury may also be seen in the east before sunrise. Early evening observers must be con- tent to watch the fixed stars. As Jupi- ter can now be seen .a little before midnight and Saturn soon after, it will not be long until we can observe these two. interesting planets in convenient hours. The Pleiades leadinz the array of brilliant -winter . constellations is now well -un in the east. Even the con- tinued and careful observation of the position of one of these groups, al- though a simple and fundamentally important observation, has not Dbeen made by many well-informed persons. Suppose, for instance, one notes the three stars in the east about & o’clock which are of nearly the same bright- ness and lying in a straight line. These stars form a part of the constellation Orion. Im a brief time it will be seen that they are moving un from the hori- zon.- By midnight they will be in the south instead of the east, and by 4 a’clock next' morning they will be in the west, about to set. They rise and set like the sun and moon. This con- firms the fact that the earth is rotating on its axis. If the earth rotates from west to east this must make the sky appear to ro- tate in the opposite direction, from east to west. Next night observe ag~in at 8 o'clock and. the same group will ap- pear again in the east in nearly the same place, make them appear.to be in the same place, but by waiting a few days it ‘mav 'be seen that the group is surelv higher at 8 o'clock than they were at. the first observation. In‘two weeks the stars would be in the same plaee at 7 o’clock that ther were hefore at 8, and in a month they wonld be in that nosi- tion at § o’clock. Tt {s' the motion of the earth arouind 'the sun which causes this.

It is reported that the observations of the totdl eclipse of May 29, 1919, made by English astronomers in South America and Africa shows & displace- ment of the stars near the sun, as was predicted- would be the .case by the theory of relativity of Einstein. While observations .were made as. a test, many astronomers expected negative results. If other observations confirm thése—and' they really prove the theory —the discovery is an exceedingly im- portant one. .In any case there will be much more interect in the subject for a time. The theory is too ' technical to explain he: /. The star Algol, or Beta Persef, whose Tight varies by reason of the fact that it ts eclipsed by a darker companion star at.intervals of nearly three days is now nearly overhead. It is usually of magnitude 2,3; but when eclipsed its magnitude is for a few minutes 3.5. It is faint December 8 at 9 p. m.; Decem- ber 11, at 6 p. m.; December 28, at 10 p. m. and December 31, at’ 7 p. m. One can -easily observe the eclipse with the naked eye. 'The star will be seen to be decidedly fainter at these tlmes than on other nights. A comet discovered by Finlay in 1893 and rediscovered by - Sasakli on its fourth return’since that time is now in the constellation Pisces, but it is not a bright object and is becoming fainter. The other comets now: visible are also faint. The, path, of’ Finlax’s comet is interesting. The comet when | closest to the sun is but 1,200,000 miles farther from it‘than the earth. . Its path is in- clined but a little jover three degrees to the:plane in which the earth moves. The earth passes' the point’.at which the comet is closest to the sun and’to the earth about -September 27. If the comet’ hoppéned: to be there at this time the comets would be'very close to the earth, nearlyias close as the comet of 1770, which was but 1,400,000 miles away. Moreover, the bodies would move side by side.for a considerable length of time. On this return the comet was closest to the sun on Octo- ber 15, or eighteen.days ‘later than the most favorable time. It has moved in its path about eighteen’days behind the earth in its path, so that they have not been very close at any time..The comet would have been 2 most memorable one had it ‘arrived eighteen days sooner. It may be! better situated on some of its future returns. The comet’s period is 6.7 years. Hidden Hand Whispers.
