Aurora Borealis Overpowering Jazz Spree Disturbs Telegraph Lines

The great fan shaped display disrupted telegraph wires, with brilliant iridescent lights visible across many localities. Experts attribute the aurora to a sun disturbance, likely occurring Saturday, with earth effects arriving after two days. The last comparable displays were October 1, 1919 and March 7, 1918.
