Another explanation of the strange
lights In the heavens above Meacham
and Kamela is furnished by Kev. J.
M Corne:ison of Tutuilla and it is a
very plausible one. The lights belong
to the meteor family and are astro
nomical y known as 1'erseids and tra-
d it ion ally as "the tears of St. L.n w
: rence," he states.
! Writing to the Kast Oregonian,
I Hev. t'ornellson says:
j "r have rt ad with interest an I
I some amusement the various an -j
uniinc omen ts of strange lights, air

I ens. I have seen them, too, most
i every year, especially in the month

somewhat of a star-gazer myself. I
took the trouble to look up thee
heavenly visitors for they are very
beautiful and a little different from
the ordinary meteor, though of cours
they belong to the meteor class.
"Those appearing on or around
these dates are known as I'erseids and
derive their name from the eonste
tion of Perseus where their radiant
point Is situated. When any of this
swarm strike our atmosphere their
rapid motion soon burns them out
but their trails often persist for a
minute or two before they are dis-
seminated, or burst, into a shower.
Their habit to burst into a shower has
given them a traditional name as thev
frequently appear on or near the Jrtth
of August, which is known in some
church calenders as the day of Sa'nt
I-awrence, so they are called the
"tears of St Lawrence."
"Two years ago Just at that date
