  to

  It 
  is 
  interesting 
  as 
  

   bringing 
  out 
  clearly 
  the 
  ten-to-eleven-year 
  period 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  

   so 
  well 
  established 
  for 
  the 
  northern 
  aurora. 
  This 
  article 
  gives 
  

   an 
  interesting 
  discussion 
  of 
  the 
  general 
  subject 
  of 
  the 
  Aurora 
  

   Australis 
  with 
  the 
  enumeration 
  of 
  many 
  observations.
