Abstract
ON Friday evening, August 12th, between the hours of nine and ten p.m., there was visible here a magnificent display of the aurora borealis. The streamers were very bright at times, and those on each extreme were more or less reddish. I think it worth recording because of the unusual time of year for such a display. It was doubtless seen over a wide region, and the telegraph system may have had some experience of earth currents.
