TAGM EIGHT ThiunwUy, Job g, 1818. Hope For Fair Day To See Sun Eclipse Much interest is being manifested Sa this section over the total eclipse of the sun next Saturday afternoon While Ashland is not in the path of the totality, the distance is claim ed to be near enough to make the phenomenon sufficiently visible. Bak r is in the direct path of the eclipse and at that point for one minute and 63 seconds the sun will be entirely obscured. Government astrononomers located in Baker for the total eclipse of the sun June S are counting on clear weather for the success of their ob servations at the station there that has been constructed at the county fair grounds. The eclipse will begin at 1:47 p. m. and end at 4:15 p. m., Pacific time, but the period of total ity will be but one minute and 53 seconds. J. S. Hammond, who Is in charge of the government party, suggests that people desiring to make as much as possible out of the opportunity to see the sun in eclipse, prepare smok ed glass by use of a candle or some other means, covering the smoked piece with another, fastened at the edges. This is easily prepared and is the most practical Instrument. Or dinary smoked glass such as is used for automobile goggles are not dark enough and would be of no use. Ob servers are also warned against look ing at the sun with the naked eye cefore the-eclipse begins to pass as this will so dazzle the eye that the effect of the corona, the most beau tiful spectacle of the eclipse, will be spoiled. The two things to watcn for in the eclipse are the corona and the prominences and only with smoked glasses as described, can the ordinary observer meet with much success or gain results in any way self-satls-tfactory. ( "It Is a good thing," said Mr. Hammond, "that nature's creation of the solar system Is just as it is. The corona, the most beautiful sight the human eye has ever beheld, is visible only at the time of a total eclipse and even then It would be impossible to view It if the moon were any near er the earth or the sun any larger than It Is. The proportion of slza and distance of the two luminaries Mobilizing Your Finances It's easy when your available cash Is all snugly reposing in a sound bank.

All the stories that have been re lated of eclipse such as the chickens going to roost, owls and bats appear ing and the stars coming out at mid day are true and these conditions on earth as those in the darkened sky of midday, will be Interesting objects of observations, during the cllpse. It will be 250 years before an other total eclipse will be visible from this part of the country and people living in its path In the United States if they ever wish to see the same sight will have to visit some far dis tant corner of the earth. the thumb, the ring finger, mlddlo finger, little finger and ring fingers of each band taken simultaneously. .
