WELLINGTON CITY OBSERVATORY.
During the summer months, the City Observatory has been closed to visitors on Saturday nights, owing to the late hour at which darkness usually sets in. Much original research work has, however, been done during the period by the observers, including the study of the surfaces of planets, variable stars, star' clusters, and occultations of stars by the moon.
Tomorrow night the season for visitors again commences, and the Observatory will be open at 7.30 p.m. A lecture will be given on. the planet Mars, illustrated by lantern slides, and later the telescope will be used to view this body, and also many interesting stars and star clusters. The Observatory is situated in the Botanical Gardens at Kelburn.
