LONDON, 12th June.
The brilliance of Nova AquUae is already declining, though it is still the second brightest star in the Northern Hemisphere.
Mr. Clement Wragge informed an Auckland Star reporter that he had not personally observed the new star. Its appearance, in his opinion, was a sure indication of the correctness of the theory of "partial impact" put forward some years ago by Professor Bickerton, of Christchurch, to account for the generation of heat and light in the stars. He felt that no finer illustration of the theory could be given.
