Aurora Borealis, Poles
Are in No W ay Related
For a long time the aurora bore
alis was an object of complete mys
tery, and it has been only in recent
years that it has come to be fairly
well understood. It was long known
that it was not limited to the north
ern hemisphere. It appeared with
equal frequency and intensity in
antarctic regions, where it was
known as the aurora australis.
Contrary to common belief, states
a writer in the Chicago Tribune,
jthere is no connection between the
aurora and the north or south poles.
Instead the centers of auroral ac
tivity are the earth’ s two magnetic
poles, the centers toward which all
magnetic compasses point. One of
these is in the extreme north of
Canada and the other is in the ant
arctic continent. The greatest fre
quency of auroras occurs not at
these poles but in certain belts en
circling them. This fact would in
dicate that the earth’s magnetic
field is a factor in the case.
The relation of terrestrial m ag
netism is further shown by the fact
that auroral displays are* most spec
tacular during the so-called mag
netic storms on the earth. These
are invisible and inaudible storms
that sweep through the earth’ s mag
netic field, violently distorting it. At
such times the needles of magnetic
compasses fluctuate in an erratic
manner.
That the aurora occurs in the
enrth’ s atmosphere and not in out
side space has been shown by the
spectroscope and by direct observa
tion. The light given off has been
split up into its individual wave
lengths, which have been identified
as characteristic emissions of the
various gases that make up air.
NEW BRIDGE
(Continued from Page One)
the railroad bridge to the east bank.
There will be an underpass at First
and Cascade to allow traffic to reach
the station.
It appears that at the present time
this is all of the work that is going
to be undertaken. In the future the
highway will no doubt be extended
up Cascade Street. For a time there
was thought of switching the high
way over to Columbia, but the cost
of cutting through several blocks
seems to be of too great expense. It
is expected that sometime in the fu
ture the State will widen Cascade
Street to a width of around 80 feet
between property lines.
At the
present time from Sixth Street east
the distance between property lines is
40 feet, and west of Sixth Street 30
feet.
This widening of Cascade Avenue
is in all probability many years off.
The stretch of highway from the In
terstate Bridge to Mosier is probably
three years off, but the construction
