A humorous account from Yankee Fork Observatory on May 8 1910 describes salmon climbing a 28 foot concrete power dam and then using a tunnel blasted through granite to bypass the barrier. The piece mixes exaggerated claims with mock news style, noting comically vast water flows and a city audience reporting the spectacle from the Sunbeam mill.
Halley's Comet travels at 40 miles per second with a head over 200000 miles wide and a tail up to 30000000 miles long. It will be brightest for Earth around May 25 and May 18 offers the most observed sky events as Earth passes through the tail. The nucleus is a loose rocky mix, tail formation occurs anew each second, and the tail points away from the sun due to an electrical solar force. Observations note earlier and later appearances, comparisons to 1811 and 1882 comets, and Halley’s prediction work linking to Newton and centuries of sightings. Next return is around 1985, with the report first describing Halley on Sept 11, 1909.
