Clement L Wragge.

To-morrow night at the Public Hall, Te Aroha, Mr Clement L. Wragge, the renowned astronomer, meteorologist, and traveller, will make his only appearance in Te Aroha. His subject “ A Voyage Through The Universe ” is the one that created such intense enthusiasm at the Town Hall, Wellington, recently, when hundreds were unable to gain admission. Besides being acknowledged as the greatest living meteorologist, Mr Wragge possesses in a marked degree the happy faculty of presenting his subject in a style which though strictly accurate and scientifically correct is yet easily understood by the least learned or scientific of his hearers. In short he appeals equally to the “ savant ” who seeks further enlightenment and to the pleasure seeker, who is there to be interested and amused. Mr Wragge will have the assistance of many exceptionally fine and beautifully coloured - photographs and pictures of celestial objects converted into lantern slides, taken by means of the “ sensitized ” plate at the gigantic Observatories of Lick and Paris. Popular prices are charged and a large attendance is anticipated.
