CITY OBSERVATORY.
♦ On recent Saturday nights visitors to the City Observatory have been keenly interested in the objects shown to them through the 9in telescope. The main objects have been the moon and the planet Jupiter. Talks have been given, illustrated by excellent lantern slides. For the talk on the solar system a model of the planets to scale was exhibited, and visitors found it of unusual interest to compare the size of the earth with other bodies. The Observatory will bo open again this evening at 7.30 o'clock to visitors. It is situated in the Botanical Gardens, Kelburn. If the weather is clear, it will prove to be a great opportunity of viewing some of the fainter stellar objects, owing to the absence of the moon.
