NELSON LIVES IN HOPE. Per Press Association. Nelson, October 11. There is a possibility that Nelson may yet have an astronomical observatory on the Port Hdls, near Bishopdale. The Yale University has large funds earmarked for an observatory somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere, and Mr F. G. Gibbs brought before the Yale authentic s the advantages offered by Nelson, and has received a reply from the Director of the Yale Observatory t bathe is greatly interested in the information given, and that a chance of establishing an observatory hers is i certainly good enough to warrant considerable trouble in the collection of meteorological data. The Cawthron trustees are willing to allow the site on the Port Hills selected by Mr Evershed to be used.
