The Meteor Fell at His
Feet.
The remarkable experience of
witnessing a meteor flashing a
cross the firmament, watching
it in its course aud seeing the
stone drop to earth within a few
yards of where one is standing
comes to but few people, yet
such a happening occurred re¬
cently to a citizen of Albina,
Oregon, says the Portland Tel¬
egraph. It was shortly after
10:30 p.m. that Mr. Hall star-:
ted to his lodgings. Peach¬
ing the corner of Rodney Ave
nue he was startled by a sud¬
den illumination of the east.
Grazieg aloft he saw,
what at first he took to be a
ball from a Roman candle fired
from some pyroticnic display
incident to the many proces¬
sions. As the flam'ng globe
approached, however, it as¬
sumed such size that the Ro
man caudle supposition was
precluded. Nearing the earth,
the oncoming ball of fire could
be seen to be bringing with it a
trail of bluish sparks, which
left the main body with a pe¬
culiar cracking sound resem¬
bling the snapping of charcoal.
Barely missing the roof of a
house, the visitant from the
heavens took a long, swooping
flight, as though repelled by
the earth’s surface, finally a
lighting in a bed of hardpau,
burying itself to a depth of
some five inches. The distance
from where Mr , Hall was stand
iog to where the meteor a
lighted was so slight that
had a fair view of that porliou
pf the meteor exposed. From
thh came a shower of sparks,
much the same as though the
component pans of the meleor
ic visitor contained a percent-

age of saltpeter.
Going over to the spot
the fragment of some heavenly
body broken loose in space had
alighted, he found the meteor
still at a white heat. Having
no means of handling it, he in¬
formed some people there of
the phenomenon he had wit
nessed.
Hall and two other men then
returned to the lot. On the way
an empty lard kettle was pick¬
ed up, and reaching the spot an
attempt was made to scoop the
fragment of a disintegrated
planet into this plebian recep¬
tacle. The piece of the meteor,
on being moved, emitted fumes
so pungent and nauseous as to
drive the meteor hunters away.
After waiting some minutes for
the stone to cool, the party again
tried to get it into the kettle,
but were again driven back by
the odor of the gasses. A third
attempt was,however, success¬
ful, and the meteor was borne
back to Turner’s,
The piece is of an irregular
shape, much resembling a'lump
of hard clay that had broken
loose from a cut and rolled to
the roadbed below.
Mothers, Give Heed.
A Word of Counsel From Dr.
Hartman, Whose Name Has
Become Known to Thous¬
ands of Mothers.
Midwinter is here. The nights
are loDg and co'd. The days
are short and changeable in
temperature. Cold creeps in at
crevice and draughts oc
cur in spite of the utmost vigi
lance. The tireless patience
and sagacity of mother even,
fails to keep the household safe
from climatic diseases. Colds
soon develop into chronic ca-
