SOON SPLIT
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 27 ? Accord
ing to Professor J. E. Gould, head of
the Department of Astronomy at the
University of Washington, "Comet A
1910," which is visible in the western
sky just after sunset, shows signs of
splitting In two.
"The comet's tail was not so con
tinuous as comet's tails usually are,"
said the professor. "This is to be at
tributed to electrical disturbances
which have been noted in comets just
I before they split in two, as has been
known to happen. As the comet ap
: proaches the sun its body is subject
ed to greater and greater strain, and
if it breaks apart it should do so very
j soon now, a mere matter of days, at
; most of weeks.
"This appearance may possibly be
due to the water particles in our Pu
get Sound air. but 1 think not."
The Georgia will leave Juneau to
tonlght and will arrive in Skagway
early tomorrow morning. The Georgia
will sail for Juneau and way ports
someti iiic tomorrow morning.
