in A Y, D2ECEMBER 21,, 1934 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Stringent Fire Laws Seen To Curb Hazard Investigators o f K e r n s Hotel Blaze Stress Lax Inspection Service Lansing, Dec. 20,--(P)-All indica- tions today pointed to an echo of the Hotel Kerns fire in the approaching regular session of the legislature. The signs pointed in that direction as a coroner's jury investigating the disaster was in adjou nment until 9:30 a. m. next Thur day. There was wide speculation er the posi- ble scope of the jury' report, with members expecting to conclude their examination of witneses within two days after their next session. Questions leveled at witnesses from the jury of six men this week have in- dicated a move will be initiated to tighten fire prevention laws relating to hotels and other public places.

Observatory Observers at the University Ob-i servatory took nine photographs of1 the spectrum of a newly discovered star on Dec. 17. The new star, Nova Herculis, was! first discovered in England on Dec. 15, but cloudy skies for a time pre- vented the observers here from get- ting a good view. The nova is of about the third magnitude, so that it is a conspicuous, but not brilliant, naked-eye star. It is located mid- way between Vega and the "Dragon's Head," and is about 30 degrees above the western horizon just after dark. There have been several other novae discovered in the northern hemisphere, but Nova Herculis is the brightest since 1920. Observa- tions of the spectrum show that the shell of gases around the nova is moving outward at the rate of about 150 miles a second. hand at all times in hotels. 3-There is no widespread practice among hotels which require that em- ployes be drilled in their conduct during such an emergency. The jury may not make specific statutory recommendations but1 members expect at least to compile3 a report which will be of use in in-] itiating such a move.I Receives Warning Sadler, Br a gg Talk On U S.
