A rare "sky show" will be staged la the heavens early next week. Shooting stars will be part of th scenic effect and a meteoric shower will probably be included in th divertiscmcnts.

V. Robins, local meteor oloeit. The last show was a fluke. A lot of clouds KOt in before the footlight and obscured the view for the earth dwellers. No admission was charged, no few complained to the 'manage xneluV.Jut cat-calls and hisses went up from learned professors and astronomers whohad looked forward for more than three decades to see ' injT'the show." Meteoric showers occurred in 1833. 1866 and 1899, but the one scheduled for Sunday is an "extra number. The soarks that fly will be due to Pons swishing his tail so as to strike Winnecke. The fighting Pons will miss hit- t na Earth by 1Z.000.000 miles. Father Rigge is "knocking" the cominflr show. He regards it as some "highbrows" do the movies.
