Controversy aplenty hu arisen as
to whether stars may be glimpsed In
the daytime by one who has ven
tured Into the gloomy deptlu of a
well. But why ruk "life and limb" In
such a hazardous descent when dur
ing the rest of this month Venus,
the brilliant planet seen all spring
In the western evening sky. may be
spotted In bright sunlight?
Because Venus Is In the west when
glowing with Its nightly luster, we
must not assume It Is always In that
location. It rises In the east a few
hours after sunrise and all day fol
lows the sun across Uie sky.
Chance daytime observations of
Venus during the recent war re
sulted In many amusing Incident.
The writer was several times asked
to determine whether this white spot
In the sky was an Infernal device of
Oriental design. On more than one
occasion an airplane took off to
shoot down the "mysterious balloon"
floating leisurely In the Inter
planetary spaces millions of miles
from us but no direct hits are on
record.
When shown the rresrrnt-shaped
Venus through the telescope, a
husxy state policeman mopiied his
brow and exclalmer, "Thank good
brow and exclaimed. "Thank good

hanging In the same position every
p.m."
Venus Is most easily located from
the shady side of a building, and
when the sky Is clear and deep blue.
It then apiiears as a tiny pearly
white dot. Field glasses give a much
brighter Image than the unaided
eye. Often It la not readily seen
until ones eyes are directed almost
to the right spot, but when once
sighted It Is easily kept in view.
Kor those In mid-northern lati
tudes near a standard time merid
ian, Venus on May 9 will be nearly
due south and very high in the sky
nt 3 p.m. standard time M p.m. sum
mer time i. The easiest way to find
It is to start at the zenith and trace
down and southward. The planet
will be only 33 degrees south of the
lentlh for observer at Vancouver,
B. C. and seven degrees south at
Los Angeles, with corresponding
amounts for latitudes between.
If the observer is east of the
meridian from which his time i
obtained, the south position of Venus
will occur four minutes earlier for
each degree east; if west, four min
uses later for each degree west. This
will seldom make a difference of
more than 30 minutes either way.
On May 18, Venus will come to
the high south position only a few
minutes earlier than on May S: on
May 33. at around 3:40 p.m., and
May 30. 3:20 p.m. The height In the
sky will remain practically the same
during all of May.
This old picture was so interesting thot even though the
print was badly faded with time, the editors decided to make
a try of using it today.
It shows a section of Main street in old Linkville and the
old Morple ploce which stood on the site of the present
Murdock building, between Second ond Third streets.
The team troffic on the street ond femole Dedestrions
j with bustles help to date the picture, which is said to have
been taken in 1888. The iteomboot on the lake might raise
a question as to thot date, an issue to be left to old-timers.
The photographer who took this picture stood on about
the location of tfie Klamath Furniture company on Main
street, site of tfie Cranston place.
The picture wos contributed to the Photographic History
series by Mrs. Kenneth McLeod, to whom warm thanks are
due.
