OAKLAND, Cal Feb. 3.--Halley's comet will give the Pacific Coast a cloBfl brush this year on May 19, be- taepn the hours (if 2 and 3 o'clock a. m., and the Mbrunh" will be some thing spectacular, says Professor Charles Durkhaltcr, of the Chabot observatory. The earth will then pass through the Inst of the 20,000,000-rnile tall of the celestial visitor, and the result ought to be as dazzling a piece of fireworks as this generation has ever witnessed.

At. n n.m stary spectacle, Professor Burkhalter will not predict. He only says: "Wait and see." The news that Halley's comet will be seen only on the Pacific Coast has not hitherto been published, although tho fact has been known for some time to the astronomers of the world, many of wnom will Journey to Cali fornia to be one the scene when the great phenomenon takes plac. Pntli Bel wihmi l'jirth and Sun. In discussing the comet, the as tronomer says: "Astronomers Cromelln and Cow ell, of the .Royal Observatory at Greenwich, have probably made the most exhaustive researches into the history of the comet. "According to the computations, Halley's comet will reach tho de scending node on May 18, 1910, when It will be In a direct line be tween the orbits of the earth and the sun, and it so happens that the earth will reach that particular point of Its orbit about tli" same time, bhould tho calculations of the astron omers prove to be rigidly exact, the comet will pass directly between the earth and the sun between the hours of 4 and 10 o'clock, standard l'nciflc time. Visible Over Pacific. "Assuming that It will happen dur ing the nilddlo of this time, or 7 p. m., It will bo visible over the Pacific Ocenn, Eastern Asia and Western North America. The sun will have set In tho eastern part of tho United States, and the comet will be there fore Invisible to all parts of the country on that side of the Rocky Mountains. Thus we have on the western edge of the continent an ap portunlty of observing this transit that Is absolutely unique, and with out precedent In the history of the comet. "Tho comet Is very near the cal culated position at the present time, and there Is no reason for believing the work of Cowell and Cromelln will need much or any revision. So we can believe that the predictions of the coming phenomenon will be ful luled. Oliver nt inns SliouM Be Fun)'. "It is unfortunate that the sun will be rather low, but it will be of sufficient altitude to make good ob- fv :il liiir.i ni'sslble. Should the j transit take place as predicted, It will last about an hour, and should the comet cross the sun's disk cen trally. It will kIvo the visiting nstron omers a snlendld opportunity to study a comet under tne most favor- -I.I . , I. k .. !.. -.. ...1 l..tl it comets are as little understood as they were when men first began the study of the heavens, the results (if the observations may not bo all that Is hoped for. "Another feature of the visit lies the fact of the nearness of the comet to the earth a distance of i 14,000,000 tulles. As the tall of the comet should be about L'u.ooo.nno tulles lon! and pointing directly from tin sun. It will doubtless be m countered b the earth, but on that ' point I hue nothing to " Hit; Kill UiiioM I tuippristi h.ihlc.

The fellows who had easy access : to Taft hobnobbed with him, advised him, told him stories, listened to ms Jokes and told him theirs, and, in fact, helped him to run his share of the government In their minds have not hppn admitted to the pres ence or the confidence of Mr. Taft slnee he became president.

Beyond question a little more openness in dealing witn tne class that used to reach Roosevelt would be very beneficial to the Taft admin istration. But It is not Taffa style since ho became president. He neither has the time nor the inclina tion to listen to what everybody has to say as he did In the years gone by, and ho Is obliged to give attention to many more Important affairs than he did when he was a subordinate of a vigorous and active president. He leaves a trail of disappointed would be advisers behind him. He Increases to a large extent the "Knocker's Club," and be will no doubt hear and rend a great deal about the failure of his administration along the same lines as that of his precedessor.

The cloud In parting showed the blue, And bright and warrrf the sunshine lay, When suddenly Boft flakes of snow Fell where the sunbeams were at play. The orb of day now hid his face And left the flakes to play alone; But 'twas not long I looked again No snow! The sun his brightest shone. My heart beat joyful at the sight, And thus I thought would end the day, When, even as I gazed, there formed A mist that soon to rain gave way. But when night fell, the stars came out, And then the moon rose big and bright, And when there broke another day, The ground with hoarfrost glistened white.

When you call on a sick friend do not remain more than 15 or 20 min utes. In many places callers are limited to five or ten minutes. As invalids may be too ill to converse, yet will try to do so for courtesy's sake, even though the spirit ana nesn rebel. Visitors should not send or take flowers without knowing whether the patient cares to have them. Many person3 can n ' endure flowers in the room.
