HAVE any of your readers observed the display of aurora borealis to-night (Wednesday)? I regret that insufficient knowledge of astronomical technicalities does not permit me to describe more exactly the size and position of the display. It appeared between 11 and 11.30 p.m., as white streaks or bands of light, varying in width and intensity, now shooting up a considerable distance, now dying away. It was especially brilliant just to the right of the constellation of Cassiopeia, and this was its furthest eastward limit; it extended more or less across the whole northern sky, and at times was bright enough to dim the stars it covered. The rays appeared to shoot up high into the sky above Cassiopeia. It was a very beautiful phenomenon, and was possibly more distinct in more northern latitudes.
