Th.' Aurora Coreali appearing in th" h-avi'iiH early Thursday even1 ing caused a great deal of excite -iuu;t in all sections of the city, the Wright lights being visible for severalhour, ascending in streamers, a dusky P.ne or bank a few degree-? a bo;.- Hi.' northern horzon. to the -o;;th lof;.l th- zenith, forming v hat xnown as th "evrona" appearing to h- directly overhead When th.- "northern lights," as th";. are popularly known, were brst o)serfd, the sttt-ak were ri a oil whit" in color ami w ere very J-Iain, hut later the color died out entirely, having just white streaks j in-in in fan-shape to the corona. The lights were ohserved as lafc as lu:::o 'lock but Kradually grew fainter. The Northern lights are not a new sight in Xouth Ilend. as they hae been observed every winter for y ars, though neer so clear ' imr so lasting as they were Thurs- ' flay night. The queries coining in to The News-Times were many and varied. and for two hours the telephones emitted worried and excited ' tint stior.s. ami when the word "Aurora lloreahs" was shot back over the wire to the puzzled questioner the only ."iiswer was a hesitant an I ; still mur" puzzled "oh!" ' ne pirty associated the lights ! with the passage in the Bible, the ; substance of which is that the end I of the world will come w hen "all

nations are at war and signs appear in the heavens." He was in a frenzied state of excitement, and his fears were only partially allaye I ly the assurance that the phenomenon occurs every year. Another party said he he had observed c number of people "looking tip" and wanted to know if there were any Zeppelins about. Other f.mstions were something like this: "What's the matter with the sky"' "What's the red in the sky?" "Is there a tire?" "llavt you any leports on tho.-e white lights in ?.- aky?" A number of th4 questioners thought that the lights were a sig i of peace, while one alarmed citizen aked if 't were true that the world was coming to an end and that the kaiser was dead. Another one calmly declared that he had seen the lights for ."0 years and that it was nothing more or less than th sun shining on the icebergs in the north. The A Mora borealis is supposed to he of eiectrical origin and is seen to best advantage in the Arctic regions where it often assumes different shades of color ranging from pale red to orange, deep yellow ami blood red. The effects of the light could he felt on the Associated Press wires at The News-Times. Reports came in from all sections of the country that the lights had been observed.

Ily Sue Carinotl . Those who had the pleasuic and privilege of hearing Mme. Gertrude Hale, dramatic soprano, and Antonto .ala, 'cellist of Chicago, in their joint recital at tiie .South Ilend Conservatory Thursday night will not gram it was. The affair was given under the auspices of the Civic Music association and like others of the series that have gone before, was excellent. The songs t;iat Mme. Hale sang were wonderful compositions. Her voice, is a wealth of warmth, and richness and beauty of tone power. Her personality is very grat iouThe audience had the great pleasure and privilege of hearing an aria, from Mascagni's opera, "Isubeau." This opera had its first performance at the opening of the opera season in Chicago this year, and Mme. Hale secured special permission to sing it on her present concert tour.

His first number, a concerto by Kdouard Kilo was magnificent and he played it and everything ese in such a manner that a definite musical education was not necessary for the enjoyment of his rendition. The different selections brought into relief his many brilliant musical qualities. He played a second number. Valentine's "Sonata X" andthis was especially worthy of note. His third number, was Popper's "Rhapsodie." Op. 6S. To this he responded with encores. It would he impossible to exaggerate the general satisfaction that

l oth the artists and their aceompan-j

ist, C. W. liest, gave to the audience. Mr. Uest, who is at the head of the concert series, played all the accompaniments with a combination of brilliancy and splendid musicianship, and in this one thing alone, would have been very appreciable, but more than that he is a composer of note. Mme. Hale sang one of his recent compositions. "A Story of Genesis." IUiitlcr Knglisli ConiKsitions. Mme. Hale also sang a group of songs by Knglish composers. They were "The Itosy Morn" by I .a ml on Konald. "Dawn in the Desert" by Gertrude Ross, "War" hy James H. Holers and "The Cry of Hachael" hy Mary Turner Salter.
