mounted at the corner of Fifth and
Main street so that those who de
sired might get a good view of the
planet which many of the authori
ties contend is inhabited like tho
earth with a race of people eirnllar
to our own.
The planet is the closest to the
earth that it has been in 30 years
and after today will start on the
swing on its circuit from the earth
and not again for two centurie3 will
it approach so near as it was last
night and today. However, even in'
this case the planet is 34,000,000
miles away.
The view of tho planet through ;
the telescope of Mr. Weyrich gave,
the audience a good chance to see:
the enlarged area of the planet that:
winks in the heavens but was not
powerful enough to bring out in any!
detail the star which is only pc;si-
ble in the very large and powerful ',
telescopes of the largest ohsorva-j
torie3 of the world. It was a great
opportunity to see the planet, how-'
ever, on its rare visit to. the vicinity
of the earth. ;
. Observers and scientists over the
country are watching Mars with in
terest in hopes of being able to de
termine whether or not the condi
tions there will warrant the belief
that iife exist3 and many contend,
that there are traces of oceans and :
an atmosphere that wil permit vege-'
