Then look to the south ern part of the sky where Orion, the most glorious star group in all the heavens, is now visible high in the south during the evening hours. To - locate this constellation, find a short slanted line of three stars equal in brightness and about the same distance apart This is the belt of the hunter. From this belt hang three fainter stars that represent a sword. Orion faces us and two bright stars -above the belt mark the shoulders. Betelgeuse, a red star, forms the right shoulder and Bellatrix the left. Below the belt, Rigel marks the left knee and Saif, : the right. These four stars maks an imperfect rectan gle. The whole figure is shaped something like an hourglass. The small . triangle of faint stars above Betelgeuse and Bella trix is his head, and above Betel geuse is a group of stars to mark his upraised right arm and club. "Why were the stars placed in the heavens?" the ancient people wondered. To answer this ques tion - they composed - stories or myths which were handed down from generation to generation. One concerning Orion's place ment in the celestial sphere is, very briefly, as follows. "Diana, if you are so skillful with .the bow and arrow, I dare you to hit that dark object out there on the water," said Apollo, the sun god, to his sister as they walked along the beach Diana, goddess of the hunt, fitted an arrow to her bow and caused the object to disappear. . Apollo had become angry and jealous because Diana had al Copco Project Slated To Start by June 1 Klamath Falls (U.R) John C.

"It is not proper for a goddess to be so friendly with a mortal," he said. But Diana continued her association with Orion, and Apol lo, recognizing (as Diana did not) the dark speck on the water to be the head of Orion as he walk ed on the bottom of the sea, took this opportunity to end their friendship. Later that evening, as Diana walked along the seashore, the body of Orion was washed up by the waves. Deeply grieved, as she saw her arrow protruding from his head, she prayed to Jupiter to set him in the heav ens. And there he has remained to this day, the brightest of all the constellations. 1E&!
