STRANGE LIGHTS DEFY THEORISTS Intermittent Flaihw in Eastern Sky Ob?ened by Elizabeth C-ity Folk* Curious Hanbo* far away to the eastward, which thus far have de fled satisfactory explanation, were observed by many Elizabeth City residents last night about 10 o'clock. The flashes were Inter-' mittent. and occasionally lit up the whole eastern horizon. They appeared to be many miles distant. The theory that the flaaheB might have been lightning was discounted from the fact that the night was cold and cloudless ? de cidedly not the proper setting for a thunderstorm. Dltpatches from Norfolk this morning stated the strange flares had been observed, apparently far out to sea. by res idents of Virginia Beach and oth er points along the shore. No nav al maneuvers were In progress, and the phenomenon was dot giv en a satisfactory explanation there. Some, who tried to explain the flushes on tho ground that they were the aurora borealls. or north ern lights, were unable to gain credence for their theory from the circumstance that the lights were to the eastwsrd. whereaH these brilliant natural pyrotech nics occur In the northern sky. Among those who observed the lights there were some who said they faw them In various qusr ters of the heavens, the flashes ap pearing to bave been lightning many miles away, Weather pro phets declare lightning at thin season of tho year indicates an approsching drop In temperature. Credence is lent thin theory by the circumstance that It became much colder hero before morning. COLONEL MITCHELL GOES ON THE STAND Washington. Nov. 23. ?
