For tho first tlmo In many years, a solar ecllpBo vlslblo In tho northwest will occur on -Fobruary 3, 19 1C. The following Information regarding It has been prepared by Edward II. McAllister, profossor of mechanics and astronomy In tho University of Oregon. Tho ecllpso will bo total within a narrow bolt, varying from 30 to GO miles In width, lying mainly In tho Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This bolt called tho "path ot total eclipse," begins In tho Pacific Ocean somo 4G degrees ot longltudo wost of tho Isthmus of Panama, traverses tho Pacific to tho west coast of Colombia, grosses Colombia and tho northern part of Venezuela, thonco pursues n gonoral north easterly courso, oxtondlng nearly, but .not quite, to tho British Islos. Out of tho Path Oregon Is situated far from tho path of total ecllpso, but for all po'lntB In Oregon tho sun will rlso partially eclipsed. Imagine a Hno beginning on tho north boundary of tho state at tho point whoro tho Columbia Itlvor first touches it (longltudo 119 degrcos west of Greenwich), nnd extending thenco to tho sounthorn boundary of tho state at tho point where the com mon boundary between California and Nevada touches tno uregon boundary (longltudo 120 dogre(s); then for all points 'on that lino tho "middle of ecllpso" or moment of greatest obscurntlon( will occur proT clsoly at unrls.o; for all points In tho , state cast of thatf lino, tho middle ot ecltpso will occur svortly after sunrise, and moro than half of thq ecllpso will bo visible; for all .points In tho atato west of that line tlio middlo ot tho ecllpso will, havo passed beforo sunrise, aud less than half the ecllpso will bo vlslblo.
