SUN S ECLIPSE MESSED IN GUTS PASS (KLKHTIAL KVKVT 18 VIHIHLK IX Till CITY FOIl TWO AM OXK HALF HOI IU U, I mm II 50 MILES Queatiun of Win I ww Gravity Itenda IJKht la Muln Theory to lie ITo ven by tho Efllpae Hundred, of Grant Pass real- denta apent much of the time Sat urday afternoon faxing at the sun through imoked glass, wltnewring the eclip.e, which wa. it per rent total at thl point. The Drat contact was at about 2:45 and the moon's shadow did not entirely pass from the sun until 5: IS. The shadow en tered on the right and traveled across to the left leaving a narrow rim at the bottom untouched. At no time wa there darkness, al though the brightness of the sun was diminished to an extent, resembling a dark winter day. San Francisco. June 8. The whole weatern world north of the equator, Japan and the South Sea lalanda, a large portion of Ruaala and China and moat of the Pacific ocean were plunged Into varying de grees of darkneas shortly after mid day today by a total eclipse of the sun. The phenomena was caused by the moon getting between the earth and the bright orb of the day, and was so timed and controlled that the United States was given the full benefit. According to Professor . W. H Bright, sn astronomer at the Uni versity of California, near here, ob servers In the United Statea were es pecially favored by being enabled to study and photograph the phenom ena from many degreea of altitudes and under widely divergent atmos pheric conditions. The line of totality In the United States wss approximately 50 miles wide and extended from Aberdeen Wvsh.. to Orlando, Florida. Along thla line were stationed represents lives of observatories In all parts of j the United States, to study the sun's; corona and spectrum and to discover If possible the existence of any plan ets that the bright orb of day had obscured to their quarts spectogra phic apparatus In the past. . The big theory to be proved, ac cording to Professor Wright, was that of relativity. This la the sup-j position that the light from the stars beyond the sun is bent by the sun's! gravity before it reaches the earth, j Klvlni these stars a false position as viewed from the earth. Professor, Wright said that the theory that' gravity can bend light has' never' been proven as yet, and that studies of this eclipse will either wtsbll-h! or repumaie in., ineury. Another Interesting study will be. . . A. , . v j i. that of the sun's atmosphere and Its . A. , . g Influence on the solar system. Scl-; .. . - , , . . , , entlsts have claimed, according to, t, . . . , ,v . . Professor Wright that there Is some, unknown force near the sun tnat' keeps Mercury shaking like as tt spins around Its orbit. The greenish tinge of the sun'a spectrum! Is unexplained also, aa the spectrum; contains a number of mysterious j components. It has been establish ed that the spectrum Is made up for the most part of metallic gases, but their even distribution was punct-'- ated on photographic lenses of t ,. . . , ' ,, . . eclipses by stralsht, bhr Hn-s. dr- noting new and rtrnrue substances. The pbotnnraiihlng of the eclipse was harm-erect somewhat by the fail ure of some of the best apparatus of which the country can boast, to ar rive from Russia, where It was sent for the sun eclipse of 1914. The phenomena was photographed from all possible angles, and the Impedi menta was then sent to the port of U.S. DESTHOYER BOAT VorwKjM.n rlteainer I Inland la An- hr Victim of Bubmarl Off Virginia Cape An Atlantic Port, June I TTn- conflrmed report are oat that the umtea States destroyer either sunk or captured a Oerman submarine off me Virginia cape.
