STOKANK ASTRONOMER SAYS
HALLEY'S COMET IS TAME
Takes No Stock In Forecasts About
Its IJfo Exterminating Gases -Has
Keen Sizzling Around for Many
Centuries Is Visible Now.
Spokan, Wash. "Forecasts by so
Balled scientists In, various parts of
the country that the gases In the tall
of Halley's comet will presently poi
son mankind or cause other calamities
may be properly termed 'high pres
sure hot air current' "
Father Adams, S. J., professor of
astronomy at Gonzagn. College of
Spoltane, made the foregoing observa
tion In referring to statements attrib
uted to observers In California and
elsewhere.
"Halley's comet has been sizzling
around Its ordained orbit century af
ter century, Just as Its creator design
ed it to do," said Father Adams, add
ing: "Were there any devastating
elements In the appendage of the vis
itor humanity would have been ex
terminated regularly every 76 years.
"It seems that such Incidents In
earthly affairs would naturally attract
some attention. They ' might even
have a Blight tendency to affect the
Increase of population and check the
progress of human events generally.
Very little suspicion along this line
Is sufficient antidote for sensational
predictions as to Halley's comet, even
though they are made by alleged sci
entists." Father Adams claims he has defi
nitely located the comet, having seen
It through a telescope the night of
February 22, saying:
"The moon Is so bright Just now
that It is difficult to catch the light
from anything else, but - the comet
showed fairly well.'. There were little
streaks out from the edges that I
Judge to be evidences of the tall. The
comet may be visible to the naked
eye early In March at the speed it Is
traveling, but rot sooner. To locate
It, take the line formed by the two
lower stars of the constellation Orion
and follow It north to a point just
above the planet Saturn. On that
line above and slightly west of Saturn
the comet should be, found, but not
without at leant four-Inch glasses."
