Class Asks Astronomer to
Explain the Milky Way
By J. HUGH FRUETT
Astronomer, Extension Division, Oregon Higher Education System
"Our class recently had a lively discussion regarding the sea
sonal positions of the Milky Way. Can you give us a newspaper
article on this, describing conditions for both here and other
parts of the world?
Quite expensive and time-
consuming it would be to visit
11 sections of the earth at all
seasons to obtain this data.
Rather tiresome also is the
process of calculating it mathe
matically. But for those of us
of an Indolent nature there is an
excellent "arm-chair" solution
on a food 12-inch celestial globe
equipped with adjustments for
showing conditions for any time
nd at any latitude.
The Milky Way is best known
to us on a moonless summer
evening. But in the following
dawn, its position even then is
entirely changed. Since, how
ever, nearly all of us are con
cerned only with evening ob
servation, the following discus
sion is "slated" for 9 p.m. No
explanation of the "whys" is
here attempted.
' In mid-July our "Mylke
Whyte Waye" stretches a majes
7 tic arc from the twinkling stars
of Perseus on the northern hor
izon, up to slightly east of the
zenith and down to Scorpius on
the southern skyline. Could we
see under the earth, we should
find this nebulous path encircl
ing the entire heavens.
By October we find this misty
sky band extending from the
east northeast horizon to
slightly north of the zenith, then
down to the west southwest. In
January, the portion mostly un
der the earth on summer eve
nings now extends from the
northwest through the zenith to
the southeast, but lacks consid
erably the splendor of the sum
mer branch.
The surprise comes In May
when we have difficulty find
ing the Milky Way anywhere in
the early evening sky, for then
it lies almost along the horizon,
extending a little higher in the
north than elsewhere. At the
latitude of southern Texas it
then coincides almost exactly
with the horizon.
All parts of the world at the
same north latitude as are we,
obtain the views described
above. At the latitude of south
ern Argentina, the July Milky
Way extends from northeast to
southwest with the fine region
of Scorpius squarely in the zen
ith where it shows to its best
advantage. Observers there then
view only the southern half of
-4 the band we observe, but they
see about another 90 degrees
farther south that we do not
see. The Argentinians see the
least fit the Milky Way in No
vember when it extends from
the east through the low south
to the west.
At both the north and south
poles, half of the milky band is
always above the horizon, but

Some Day I'll Learn
To keep my big mouth shut. ' Last week I mentioned that
Charles and myself indulged in a little illegal fishing now
and then, and now I've got the game warden on my neck.
He is suspicious about the source of supply of our now
FAMOUS ROTAL FISH TJ' CHIPS.
Just to prove that it pays to advertise. In one of my ads,
I mentioned that I lost my new Johnson motor in the Siletx
river last fall, and immediately the boys at Howard Maple's
Sporting Goods store offered to sell me a brand new one,
nothing down, and payments of $25 for each salmon caught.
Think I'll take 'em up on It; I've only caught 3 salmon in
the past 4 years. In another adv. I told about Margaret
shedding bitter tears over dissatisfied customer. She re
ceived 14 towels and 7 handkerchiefs. In another, I said
I was copying Hoily Jackson's style of advertising. Good
old Holly, he didn't care In fact, he and hL family ate din
ner at our restaurant last Sunday and he told me that out
side of his fine stock of Jewelry, my food was the best value
in Salem. In another adv, I told you I wanted enough
new customers so that I could hire a dishwasher. The good
people of Salem rallied to my support and took me out of
the dishpan in two weeks. Yep. it pays to advertise.
So long ontll exi Saturday,

Britains More Interested in
UN Than Citizens of U. S.
The English are considerably more interested in the operations
of the United Nations and its
citizens of the United States.
Hamer of London, a Salem visitor, pointed out the English were
much closer to the turmoils that
mated the population of Europe
and brought widespread ruin
and tragedy.
Miss Hamer with her mother,
Mrs. Bertha Hamer are current
ly visiting at the homes of Mrs.
P. Hysler, 1865 South 12th
street, and S. H. Isherwood home
on Route 1. Mrs. Hamer and
Mrs. Hysler are sisters who had
not seen each other for 35 years.
Miss Hamer, a British repre
sentative of the United Nations,
expected to find branches of the
organization in many cities of
this country and brought with
her a letter of introduction from
Mayor E. W. Wilton of Rich
mond, Surrey. She learned that
there were no branches whatso
ever and that there were few
discussion groups such as are
maintained in her native coun
try. The visitor from abroad ex
pressed keen interest in interaa-
