(News note is in a column of the paper, taken from a Scotland newspaper, and
noted as "SCOTLAND", "EDINBURGH, AUG. 25."

     On Wednefday night, about eleven o'clock, a luminous meteor, of
apparently great magnitude, and of a globular form, was feen from Glafgow,
in the northern hemifphere. In its progrefs to the South-eaft, it affumed
an appearance fomewhat refembling a Comet, the tail of which was vifible for
fome feconds, after the body was hid by the horizon.

Another one of the like f-s articles. I will take the liberty of using my
lower case f for the f like symbol, which pretty much looks like a lower
case f in newsprint. As another or a couple, of members noted, it really,
just kind of looks like an f in nicer old books. I think general list
interest would prefer the "f's".

Clear Skies,
